Back To Skinny Water

I hate deep open water smallie fishing! There I said it. It's just not my thing man, I mean I can do it but I hate it. I just saw that Bass Pro has signed back on to do the Simcoe Open. I will not be there, you know what happened to me at the Casey Cup. But thank god we are back to skinny water this week. Flippin slop is were I'm the happiest.

Canadian Open

The truck is packed and I'm ready to hit the water! I hope my boat is ready for Wednesday but if not my good friend Jack Summers of RadioWord is kind enough to lend me his. TFB cut a check there last year with a 15th place finish against the best of the best. My water is 10 minutes from Kingston which gives me a lot more time to fish and doesn't beat the boat up. I'm targeting big largemouth bass in 20 feet of water off a weed bed and slack water on the backside of points in a river. Sorry I can't give you more info lol. But with a 100 pros out there I don't want any company. Lake Ontario is big water and can be scary, last year I worked my way through 14 foot waves to get back to shore and it was not what I like to do. When I got back to the ramp I had to peel my white knuckles of the steering wheel and have a cigar to calm down. I wish all my fellow competitors all the best of luck and to come back safe and sound. Last year we lost 10 boats due to breakdowns in the water just from being bashed around!
Tight lines and take care everyone.

G Pool & The Bay

 Last week I twitted that we were almost in the Classic and that it would be decided on Georgian Bay but anything could happen. Well it did we had a hard weekend but made the Classic anyways. I'll have a story to tell my kids when they get older.

Three Days In The Bay

 Spent the last 3 days on the Bay of Quinte and it was fantastic. The weather was good and the fish were biting. Brought in a limit everyday and built up my points for the CSFL Classic. The last day was a wild card event that was restricted to the bay only. That leveled out the playing field with all those boat that ran out to Lake Ontario all week. My last day I fished two spots that I had been holding onto, It had cattails and pads. I fished it Okeechobee style which I've learned from my good friend Steve Crowley of Crowley Guide Service. I pushed the boat into the cattails and flipped the clear water. I wasn't back there too long when I realized that they were still on beds. I saw a lot of fry but all I could catch were the bulls guarding them. I saw a few big females cruising but they wouldn't bite. So Marc and I brought in a bag of bulls for 13.65 lbs. I had a great birthday on the water. We did rack up good points for the Classic and that was the plan. Tight lines and take care!
