Al a very private man so he claims

It seems that there is a lot of people around the NorShell project that have learned to catch big small mouth bass.Al caught this one in September in a lake so he claims (good sense of humor) although he later told me it was Dog Tooth Lake caught on a Jig. Al & Sheila know each other and are very good Fisherman and seem to be competitive as Al gave me this photo after Sheila's had been posted. Stay in touch for other Familysportsfisherman postings.

Summer of 2008 produces large fish

Well Sheila has done it again.She caught these two fish at Blindfold Lake in Ontario. It a small lake at the top of the hill before Rushing River.This gal has become quite a brave person to handle a fish this size with confidence. Great Fisherwoman great person with the people she works with.Method All spin casting. We didn't really have much luck with trolling, but I blame the driver !!! Mostly just casting in 15ft of water. This worked welll with jibs too

Family Sport Fisherman's Co-Worker Catches Large Bass

Sheila who works for Nor Shel here in Winnipeg Mb. spends her spare time fishing. She has become quite successful at catching large fish as you can see by this picture. She tells me that she uses chartreuse or green spinners or jigs is what they used all summer and worked better then any bait.so as you can see they really work well. Check out her second big fish.Method All spin casting. Mostly just casting in 15ft of water. This worked well with jibs too.In the evening we were jigging in 10ft of water crappie fishing and pulling them out like crazy. seriously like 40 keeper crappie in an hour!!!
We didn't really have much luck with trolling, but I blame the driver !

Set-Up that Caught Master Angler Rainbow

The picture shows the placement of from left to right: bobber Stopper, slidding bobber, split shot,ball bearing swivel and in this case # 14 Hook (red) with 1 dew worm presented as a Gobb or ball.

We set up in the corner of the lake so we could let the wind move our float from right to left in this case and if you can picture a baseball infield we were casting out where the second baseman would be standing and the wind was moving the bobber towards third base,the second line we casted out placed more towards first base following along roughly behind the first line that we put out.The bobber stopper was set for 10 ft in both cases. It was the second line that caught this master angler. I have watched many times fish feeding and have seen them rush up to baits to feed ,not taking it but seeing what it was and by presenting a second simular meal to a large fish is to much to resist

Good Campimg,Good Company,Good Fishing Great Fun

The Labor Day Weekend was a howling success, We had a lot of fun with our dog Tina who befriended three young ladies from Brandon Manitoba. I think Brittany was Tina's favorite as she was the main cook for that campsite, because of all the finger food that was being served on the weekend Tina was greeting all and performing her tricks for a treat. Allison & Amber made friends with Tina as I think they really like dogs and Tina sensed that even with the Pirate & Hawaiian costumes the girls had with them. There were campfire recipes exchanged morning ,noon & night with samples of creations going every which way, Beer pancakes & bacon was a big hit as well as a feed of freshly caught Rainbow Trout on site . We certainly will look forward to getting together with this group in the future.

Manitoba Master Angler Rainbow Trout

Labor Day Weekend was a hot & sunny one this year. My wife and I decided to try trout fishing at Lyons Lake. Thanks to a good breeze it made fishing a little rough in getting the lines out. Casting into the wind and having the float move into the shoreline would mean many casts would have to take place in order to keep bait in the proper depth and just above the bottom. We set sliding bobber at 10 feet and casted out into the wind. We paused for a minute as Wilma was bringing down deck chairs and refreshments to enjoy the day. Wilma said one bobber has gone under and I ran to the rod that was sliding off the dock and into the lake and set the hook. This Rainbow Trout put on an ariel display that I will remember for ever. I had to play it out as we had no landing net at the dock and Wilma went to our camper to retrieve it. She had to untangle it as it was wedged behind the cab of my truck , this seemed to take hours, rather than five minutes, trying to keep the fish on the light line, with ultralight rod & reel and of course barb less hook. I was happy to land it but the fight was too much for this beauty. We tried to revive it for twenty minutes and we also had the helping hand of the local game warden who also tried but to no avail. We have taken people fishing in Manitoba and they have caught master angler trout but this was the first one for me. Thanks to The Ministry of Natural Resources & Fisheries for stocking small lakes so that the average person & family can have a great day in the outdoors. Lyons Lake is situated on the Ontario Manitoba Border within sight of the Trans Canada Highway just West of the Weigh Station on the South side of Highway
