    Show three

    In category Uncategorized on October 21, 2010

    Show number three is up and running. I had the pleasure of sharing a boat with Andrew Oliver, who along with his partner Mike Brennan , were the New Brunswick Sport Fishing Associations  2009 Classic Champions. Andrew certainly lived up to his reputation and put a bunch of fish in the boat. Another back of the boat guy who doesn’t subscribe to the theory that the guy at the front of the boat catches a bigger percentage of the fish.

    On this show Andrew and I are fishing a small creek that feeds into one of my favourite local lakes. This is a shallow water, weed and rock infested stream that can harbor some nice fish. We fished a variety of baits but the Blue Fox in-line spinners and the Zoom Horny Toad were the winning baits today...

    Show 2 on East Grand Lake with Dennis Wilson

    In category Uncategorized on October 12, 2010

    I fished today with Dennis Wilson from Fredericton. As far back as I can remember Dennis has been the guy to beat in Provincial Bass tournaments. After spending the day in the boat with him I can understand why. He doesn’t miss a thing and is dead bang on with every cast.

    We started off at the ramp by the Canada Customs office at the head of East Grand Lake. Not room for a lot of trailers but pretty good if you get up early. We idled out of the small channel and then headed down the lake to the gorge. I had marked all of the visible rocks here last year in my jet boat and transferred the waypoints onto my Lowrance GPS on the Stratos. Even with the rocks marked I took the time to idle through this area...

    Glen Hunter Show

    In category Uncategorized on October 11, 2010

    Glen Hunter and I hit the waters of East Grand Lake for some early season smallmouth action. Despite the early spring that we have experienced the water temperatures were still at a seasonally normal temperature of 61 degrees. It was still a little nippy , at fifty one degrees, when we slid the boat off of the trailer to cross the lake. Not bad on shore but when we kicked the Stratos up on plane it was on the cool side. It was enough to just stay up on the pad as opposed to a bone chilling high speed run.

    Our first stop was on a main lake point where I have encountered prespawn fish staging in prior years. I went to work with a Husky Jerk on my new Crucial 6’ 3” rod and Stradic 2500 reel spooled up with Seige green line in 8lb test . I still prefer mono for a jerk bait...

    2010 Kids Fishing for Charity Tournament

    In category Uncategorized on October 9, 2010

    By Richard Greene

    On July 10, 2010 I fished my best tournament of the year with my grandson Ricky. There was no big prize to be won or glory to be had. There was however some serious fishing going on as Ricky fished his heart out for four hours looking for that one killer Yellow Perch that would put him in the trophy winner’s circle. Not a thousand or ten thousand dollar prize but an eight inch high trophy with a Perch on the top.

    This was the seventh annual Kids Fishing for Charity tournament that is hosted by the New Brunswick Sport Fishing Association. This is a dual purpose event that we use to get the kids out on the water in a mildly competitive format while at the same time raising money in support of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

    The kids are split into three...
