12lb walleye from Bay of Quinte - Caught by Kyle Billingsley

My cousin Kyle has been hard water angling this winter.  I recently became aware that he hooked into a huge of Bay of Quinte pickerel. I don’t have many details yet, but his wife tells me he was jigging for the behemoth that weighed in at 12 lbs! Great job Kyle! Thanks for the photo Di.

Muskoka Outdoors visitors – I would love to post pictures of the fish you have been catching through the ice this year. Email them to me using the Contact  link below.

Canada’s newest speckle trout angler, Trevor, lands a fantastic speckled trout during his special birthday fishing trip!

Happy birthday Trevor and beautiful fish!

*For Muskoka Outdoors readers: I have tried to get the location of this secret Haliburton lake out of the proud Uncle behind Trevor. All he will tell me is that it was caught in Lake Non-of-ya (None of ya business)! I would like to remind Trevor (and his Uncle) that they could take me to this lake blindfolded sometime…

‘Cousins’ to Muskoka Outdoors (and a husband and wife team) Kyle and Diana scored big in Lake Ontario this year. I think your wife has you beat Kyle!

Big northern pike do exist in Mirage Lake!

Kevin Swinscoe emailed this photo of a nice 9 lb northern pike caught in Mirage Lake – North of Huntsville. The story behind the photo is:

The length was 33 inches and it topped 9lb. Not a monster but a nice fish caught on a 5″ Mr Twister Double Tail and 1/8th football Jig head. I was lucky to land it without a wire trace, I only had 8lb line! The pics were taken by a neighbour, I just pulled up their dock to show them as nobody believes we have Pike in Mirage.

Nice pike Kevin! Thanks for emailing them to me. Don’t let your toes dangle over the dock for too long…

If you have a picure of a fish (big or small) that you have caught this summer – I would love to post it. Email it to the address listed below.

I am referring to the bass – not the friends of Muskoka Outdoors who spent bass opening weekend in Picton, ON and caught these beautiful largemouth bass. It was Kristi’s first bass by the way! Nice job Curtis and Kristi!

If you have any photos from this past weekend’s Ontario bass opener – Please email them to me. I would be happy to post them.

The crew from Superior Outfitters know how to catch bass. They recently submitted this great bass photo (22.5 inches 14 inch girth) via twitter (@superiorguides). Based out of Wisconsin, consider visiting their website if you are looking for some great hunting and fishing guides in that state.

It’s another month before we can bass fish up here. This will make the days go slower.
