Hi Italo big fan actually saw you at Walmart in Welland about a week ago said hi and you acknowledged thank you. Anyhow Im heading up to French River with my dad Sunday and staying at Dry Pine Camp in Alban Ont and was wondering if you know of any hotspots Have never fished there so I guess Id be a greenhorn lol. Any tips would be appreciated take care Dean Bluemeke
Posted on August 30th, 2013Hi Dean…Nice to have met you. I have not fished that stretch of the French River, ON, but I have a feeling that if you cast spinnerbaits, top-water and “twitch” a Rapala Husky Jerk #14 along the shorelines where you see weed growth mixed with rocks, you will catch a mix of bass, pike and possibly even musky. I have a feeling that the walleye bite will be early & late, and if you are willing to fish a few hours just after dark, that is when you will probably catch the largest walleye, either trolling about 50-100 ydes off the shorelines in water that is 10-20′ deep, just flat-lining with a Rapala Husky Jerk #11, or casting it around a significant structure break like a point going into deeper water, & around a shoal/reef…..God bless you, Italo
