We’ve Officially Finished Moving!

By now I hope everyone is seeing our website in it’s new home in downtown Toronto. So far the site has been super fast for me, after I fixed a few migration bugs of course, and I hope that nobody will experience the annoying page not found errors. I really hope that this has not hurt our page ranking with google, but we won’t know for a few weeks I’d guess.

In more exciting and fishing related news I went fishing at Lake Scugog with Ed on Sunday. This time we geared ourselves up for Bass hoping to land some big ones in the thick Scugog weeds. We were amazed that there was nobody on the lake considering it’s a holiday weekend, we had high hopes. Unfortunately the weather decided to throw all kinds of things at us, everything from wind to seriously heavy rain to brutal sun. Luckily not lightning though. It definitely wasn’t easy but we managed to catch a few decent fish, but most importantly of all have a good time.

Don’t forget to check out our cool and new project Legendary Fishermen a social network for fishermen.

Earthquake Brings Squid to California

A recent earthquake in California has shaken up a large group of Humboldt squid and sent them straight in to the beaches of La Jolla. Local residents were shocked and say they’ve never seen anything like this before. Check out the video!

This isn’t the first time we’ve covered the Humboldt squid, and when not confused by whatever occurred underwater during the quake they can even be quite aggressive and dangerous. In Mexico they refer to them as diablo rojo.

Raw video from the beach can be found after the break.

Sometimes The Small Ones Are The Best Ones

Especially when your smile is bigger than your fish!

I found this photo, and others, on the Cherry family website. These guys definitely know how to have a good time, any crowd that brings a spare barbie rod, and catches a fish on it is cool in my book. I can’t really speak for their other fishing habits..

The smallest walleye you’ve ever seen? What do you think?

Also, check out the smallest pike you’ve ever seen.

French Walleye

I know them as Walleye, some people call them Pickerel. Pierre, a fisherman from France who sent in this of his catch calls them Sandre. What other names can you think of for this wonderful meaty game fish?

Hi all.
Thanks for your web site . That’s the best one i’ve found when it deals with fishing.
That’s an everyday life pleasure to glance at the incredible pictures you digged up.
Here is the picture of a Sandre (in french), i think the proper translation is Pike Perch or Zander
That’s not a monster but I don’t think you already have one picture of this species on your website, it looks really similar to Walleye.
I’ve caught this Pike perche of 3.5kg for 71 cm in a small river of Normandy two days ago.
I wish you the best
Regards
Pierre

Beautiful photo Pierre! It’s nice to see that the fall photos are coming in too. Not that you would know here in Toronto. Not to mention google is saying its going to be 19C for the rest of the week.
