Is it just me, or are the Scugog musky getting bigger this year? Curt sent us in some photos from a recent trip to Lake Scugog and it looks like they had an incredible day. Any day with multiple musky is OK in my books!
Thought you might enjoy these pics. All mine (red shirt) were caught on the same spinner bait. Mike’s musky was 50′ and about 25 lbs. - Curt
Awesome job Curt, keep sending those photos our way!
Absolutely amazing, what more can I say..
Shot at Toronto’s Centre Island. A great example of being in the right place at the right time. My sister and I went to the Island after work for some photos and this amazing sunset started to form, so I quickly put the camera on a tripod and started shooting intervals (using the Pclix) for about an hour hoping to capture the lightning. I have 5 lightning shots out of around 600 photos and this is the best one.

This year has been a year of catching nothing but small fish so far. I’m not complaining, the fishing here in Nova Scotia is great, but those massive Ontario fish are hugely responsible for my love of fishing. At least I can take some satisfaction in helping others catch some big fish this year. Our reports of monster pike at Little Vermilion have received plenty of attention and we are always happy to divulge locations and lures to help our readers have success. I was contacted by Ken a while back asking for some advise on fishing LV, and as a result he had a great trip. Of course we cant take all the credit, Little Vermilion is a great lake and Ken is an experienced angler, check out his recent catches - this is what fishing Ontario is all about!
At Sportsmans we had 5 people and did very well - 24 Trophy’s and forget how many slots.
Jon and I have been working on updating all of our old fishing pictures on our gallery. There are almost 400 images available to view right now, and probably 400+ more to add. Stay tuned over the next few weeks as we get everything up to date. Click the images below to check out some of the latest additions!
If you’ve got an images you’d like to add to our galleries, send them to staff@fishingfury.com
Ever since Jon did an interview with the Toronto Sun, we have had lots of comments and questions about the fishing in Toronto, specifically Toronto Islands. The most popular question has been, “How big do the pike get?”
Well, they get as big as they do anywhere else, some reaching over 40 inches and 20+ pounds. Over the years, re-designs and modifications to our site have caused us to misplace a few photos. We do have backups though, and will be bringing back old photos to share once again. Here’s a prime example of a healthy Toronto pike caught by Jon a couple years ago. While this one was under 40 inches, it was a very solid fish.
If you have fished Center Island, you will probably recognize this spot immediately.
We’re clearly not the only ones who love the pike fishing at Little Vermilion Lake in Ontario, Canada. Many of our readers have made the long trip up to the lake in search of trophy pike, and as usual the latest visitors to Little Vermilion were not disappointed!
On this trip, I caught 6 fish that were over 40 inches and 15 #s (Our group of 4 guys caught 10 fish over 40 inches and 15#s.- that was our definition of a big fish). My two biggest fish were both 45 inches and 22#s and 20#s. The others were 41-42 inch range and weighed 15-18#s, which are also very nice fish.

They say a photo tells a thousand words, and this one really tells much more. This photo was taken back in 2004, and is one of my all time favorites. Not only for the image itself, but the period in my life when the only thing I had to worry about was when I was going to be able to catch my next fish. Fishing Fury dot com didn’t exist yet because we didn’t have a name for the site. We had spent a lot of time fishing Toronto Islands that spring, and covered just about every inch of shore accessible by foot. Even though we were both working full time during the week, we’d make sure we had our rods with us each day so we could fish afterward and get in a few hours before sunset. At least 90% of our pike were caught using Mepps Black Fury inline spinnerbaits .
After tossing around several ideas for a website name, we finally decided on a name we both loved immediately. Combining our favorite past time, with our favorite lure, Fishing Fury was born.
fish·ing - the technique, occupation, or diversion of catching fish
fu·ry – unrestrained or violent anger, rage, passion, or the like
With a name chosen, we wasted no time and unleashed our unrestrained passion for fishing to the world. Fishing Fury has been, and always will be about sharing our love of fishing with anyone and everyone.
