SLR Bass

[Kevin J Legg]

Decided to try the bass since we missed opening weekend. My wife limited out and I only managed 3. One flopped of the board before I took the photo. Fish were in 4-12 fow. Some still on beds. Had to search for them but they were nice size.

Way to go Kevin.

That's awesome Kevin or should I say that's awsome to the Misses Legg!! LOL

[panfisher]

Nice! Bass fillets in the pan or baked are excellent!!.

Nice work! Any recomendations for the Cape Vincent area of the river? My haunts around Carlton don't seam to be producing like they once did.

Seems like Fox and Grenadier would be good but I haven't fish it. Mostly been hitting walleyes.

Was around the Clayton area last week and it was the worst I ever seen. Everyone else was having issues too.

Figures...... Hopefully things will pick up by the time we get up on the 7th

My son fished in a youth tournament this weekend out of Clayton , it was a good experience for him since he never fished the st Laurent river before... Caught a few bass and. Lost a few , mostly by skipping docks, and drop shotting. The river was busy this weekend with boat traffic,and the poker run boats !!

Sounds like fun.... Those are some Good memories being made!!

Boat traffic Is difficult enough on the weekends.... When you have a confluence of events like the poker run, flw, and children's tourney its murder on the water. We have boat show weekend coming up first weekend in august. Things should hopefully normalize after that. With any luck the bass fishing will kick into high gear right around then as well. Tight lines.

I am up here trying for pike and it's been slow. Water is mid seventies. Bass are another story,we're catching lmb from the docks out to 20 fow.

[old man]

Only bait i've caught pike on is a black/nickle showgirl. Can't keep the bass off it. Sundown has been best.

Keep these reports coming!  I will be up there the week of the 20th with the family.  We just rented a cottage just outside of Alex bay.  My son is dying to wet a line, as we are still going strong with baseball.  We just won the district 6 10U all-star championship!!!

 

We are looking for anything, bass, pike and of coarse he wants to get a muskie.....  Hope the fishing is hot when we get there and the boat is running good!

Heading up to the Cape next week. Not going to bother with the Canadian license and staying across from Carleton. Any tips?Going to target smallies by day and eyes by night. Very little eye experience.
