This was an amazing week weather wise having daytime temperatures in the 70’s, just a few 10 minute showers at suppertime to give us some beautiful rainbows plus the nights were in the low 50”s. As for the fishing it was a Smallmouth Fishing Mania as you will read about below.

Super Surface Action Fishing for BIG Smallmouth Bass by Jerry

2nd day was great as they caught near 46 Smallmouth Bass before suppertime, Ben catching a lot of 17 to 18-inch fish plus DJ caught her first trophy an 18-inch Smallmouth Bass & also caught another after supper. Also DJ just missed a 3rd measuring in at 17.75-inches. Today the magic was a surface lure, the Torpedo & the Ned Rig. Ben also spotted a HUGE Muskie which Jerry brought up to the boat 3 times, following his Torpedo but would not take his lure. Being from Minnesota living on a lake with Muskie so they have seen their fair share of Muskie and said this one was upper 40 to the 50-inch plus range. 3rd and final day was their best catching 66 big Smallmouth Bass 15 to 18-inches plus they lost at least 35 fish as they were fishing surface lures all day long. DJ had a special catch landing 2 bass on the same lure on one cast, hooking each on a different hook. They all had blast making family memories and when checking out Jerry stated that they will be back.

Father and Son Fishing for BIG Smallmouth Bass at Fireside Lodge in Canada by Bruce

Bruce Pearson from Wayzata, MN was here with his son Tobin for a special 13-year old birthday fishing trip. This was the trip Tobin selected over several other possible choices. DOA right out the gate they caught fish before supper then before fishing that evening Tobin, after some careful consideration picked out a Yo-Zuri shallow suspend twitch bait lure in hopes of catching a Big Smallmouth Bass.

After fishing that evening they came in the lodge looking for Audrey & I full of
Great Fishing with Dad at Fireside Lodge in Canada
excitement to tell us their fishing story plus show us a picture of a Trophy Smallmouth Bass Tobin caught on the Lure he selected from my tackle shop. First day had the wind giving them some problems but they caught some nice fish and learned some of the lake. 2nd day was a discovery day having fun searching for Northern Pike getting some follows but it seems as if the fish were just not interested. The 3rd day was a completely different story as the Pike turned on catching 20-25 fish, not counting the ones that got off, which they said were almost as many as they caught. 3 days of fishing goes by fast but both left having a memorable father and son fishing trip-making memories together that will last their lifetime.
