Bass Season in Cottage Country

As many of you already know this Saturday marks the opening of Bass season here in Ontario. I doubt that any season opener is as highly valued among sport fisherman than Bass opener, in my opinion it truly marks the beginning of summer here in Ontario. Unfortunately we’ve had some crazy weather around here today and yesterday, including tornados, however this weekend’s outlook says Saturday should be beautiful.

Naturally I planned ahead making sure I wasn’t on call for work and that I had a good few friends willing to join me for a nice weekend out in cottage country fishing for bass. This weekend I will be fishing with David and Paul from the forums on Kennebec Lake about three hours from Toronto and we will be staying at Springwood Cottages right on the lake. David has stayed at this cottage before and is familiar with the lake so he will be a huge help. You may remember Paul from the high definition Toronto Island video where he caught a beautiful pike, as a native of France I doubt he’s ever experienced the excitement of bass season here in Ontario. Well tomorrow he will!

David tells me I’ll be waking up to this view Saturday morning, and that island looks like the perfect place to start looking for bass!

Also be sure to check out our new Fishing Fury Twitter page where I will (signal permitting) be updating live as the weekend progresses.

I love this place. My buddy runs it actually. And I took the picture too. I am looking forward to this like crazy! I can’t wait to get out of work. Counting down the minutes to freedom…

Dream Reels

At Fishing Fury, we love shiny things as much as fish do - especially shiny reels. As odd as it may sound, it's not only important that our reels function well, but that they look great too. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder when it comes to reels though. Personally I prefer the appearance of a round baitcast reel, where as Jon prefers low profile. One thing with both agree on though, is that if we had the money, we would have a serious collection of pimped out reels. Here’s a list of the reels we wish we had, but probably never will.
