I'm really getting stoked for the opening of walleye this year. The weather to date should have these fish peaking come the traditional Southern Ontario Kawarthas' opener on the second Saturday in May. When that morning comes, I'll be trailering my new Ranger 520 to Old Faithful-Rice Lake in Bewedly, Ontario.
New designs keep plastics on the up and up Floating Soft Baits... Soft plastic baits have been catching their good share of fish for many years: bass, walleye, pike, and muskie have all been deceived by their subtle actions.
A number of years ago I set out to find a place in Ontario where I had a legitimate chance to catch some big pike - forty inches or better - and would have to hide behind a tree to bait my hook to avoid being attacked by monster walleye.
Lake Simcoe has been known for decades as the "Ice Fishing Capital of North America" and it's no wonder, considering that more people fish this inland lake during the winter than any other body of water in the province.
