Every week we search YouTube for you to find fishing trip videos from across Ontario and Quebec. Here’s what we found for the week of July 4th, 2010.
First up is a very impressive video of a Lac Seul trip…I am taken back by the number of quality smallmouth bass in this video.
Recently, I was asked what lures I would choose for a Canadian fishing trip if I could only select 5. Of course, I immediately tried to get 5 selections for each species that I might target. No such luck, I had to give only 5 for the trip. The person asking me was going on a canoe trip and was limited in space for tackle.
So, here are the suggestions I offered to him. I selected each on 3 criteria:
The ability to catch multiple species (specifically bass, walleye and pike which are the most commonly targeted species in Ontario)
The ability to catch numbers of fish
The ability to catch big fish
1) Mepps Aglia Spinner
Dressed versus Undressed
The first question that I usually get when recommending a Mepps is whether to get dressed or undressed. I don’t get concerned over this as I’ve found that most of the time it doesn’t seem to matter. I did say most of the time. I have had a few times where I’ve seen it matter.
