Thanks buddy!! Hope all is good down your way too!! Cheers!

Not sure about elsewhere around the island but every spring we get herring in our area and a few whales always follow for the feed.. and no trout unfortunately.. i did catch a to of herring tho.. lol cant keep them but they are a bit of fun.

😘

Thanks mate! Other than this fish, it def was a tough day.. but I will take a bad day fishin over most other days! Haha cheers bud

Thanks jason buddy! Been way too long.. hopefully this is just the start of a solid season!! Cheers bud!

Hey jason! Happy new year buddy! Hope all is well your way also! I will be back in the aaddle come feb 1, hopefully we get some ice, not to much but some, haha i do want to ice fish once or twice. As for sink tip lines/leaders/ etc, i have def used em.. and they do work in the right scenario! You will find it can be a bit sluggish casting, and you def have to get the line up from the depths before a back cast.. but i do use it on occasion when needed. I tend to like the clear semi sink leaders as they get down enough combined with a bead headed fly usually works well enough for me! Try it out for yourself! You may like it! Cheers bud! I be back with lots of videos soon! Looking forward to it!

Thanks a million man, can’t wait for the vids, and the ice too, didn’t get ice fishin last year but plan to this year. Cheers

Its hit and miss from shore these days.. there are fish still but they tend to move around.. we did well in front of my house yesterday, but the last few weeks there was nothing there… lol so ya, you have to hunt around for em from shore.. as for boat stuff, bys are still gettin nice sized fish out past the point and down in front of hydro.. but……. Squids are showin up!! They also are hit and miss right now but they starting to show up! Which you can fish all week!! And the cod will be in chasin those too… all is not lost on shore cod yet!! Been so busy i havent had much time to get out at much… have a video that i need to edit to see how it turns out…cod on the fly! Cheers!

Ya the avalon area has some incredible brown trout fishing.. same goes for brook trout.. you may not get the biggest fish but man, you will get your fill of hook ups for sure! I am actually about to head out to go trouting.. been to hot to torment them the last few weeks but its cooled off enough that it should be ok! Cheers man! Maybe one day I will head out to long pond as I havent been there in years fishing!!

@@roby2331 Yeah, the heat here has been unbearable, 30 every day for the last week or so. Rivers and streams are very low. I may go for some macks after work once things cool down a bit. I need striper bait, lol.

Whats the size of your makerel these days? Ours last year where barely 10” . You guys have the same new rules as per dfo? We have zero commercial makerel fishery, even for bait, and recreational is min size of 10 1/2 “ and there is a limit but i cant recall what it is..

@@roby2331 yeah, same rules apply for us too. We had a lot of tinkers in the bay 2 weeks ago, but the big ones are showing up now. 12 to 16 inches is considered a big mackerel around here. Some we freeze whole and use them for cut bait for the stripers. Great fun on a surf rod from shore.

Hello david! Welcome my friend! We havent seen any makerel in close yet, but the cod fish… man oh man… literally flyin up onto beaches chasing capelin.. fun times for sure! I have friends over your way that rub in the great striper fishing over there! Def on my list of things to do and places to fish!! Cheers mate! Tight lines and thank you for the view and kind words!!!

@@roby2331 My brother and I tied into some big bass this spring on the Miramichi river. The tug is the drug.

Thank you for the kind words Henry! The waterford is often over looked when it comes to summer fishing.. it does get grown in a fair bit making roll casts your main option, but it is always a fun time poking around the river.. one of my fav things is to just walk the trail top to bottom or bottom to top, and just hop in and out of little pools and runs.. always some fish around! Cheers

Thanks bud! Means alot. Hopefully more to come! Cheers

Thanks bud! Means alot! Its def one of the greatest places to visit also…. Have an injury from work currently but hopefully i will get a chance to get some more fishin done. See how the hand feeles by the weekend! Take care!

​@@roby2331treat the work injuries..they haunt you when you get my age...I would love to know what's the biggest fish you could catch out there??..I've always fished for the biggest monster..I've caught a few..but lost more big fish than anyone...

@@roby2331 2497 miles to your house...I'm pretty sure I found it...I won't be coming for a visit...to bad.. we could have a darn good time my brother....

Its movember ya twit… 😘

@@roby2331 god dam autofill

Tbh I have never watched it. Know the series but never actually sat down and watched em. I will check it out tho! See if I can recognize where they are.. cheers bud!

There are def cod in the bay.. we all had a good opening day from shore around main beach and northside rd. Seemed to be less fish over my way, so i hung out over that way..caplin still around, has been a big roll by any means so id saywe have several weeks of good fishing yet!!

@@roby2331 thanks for the reply man, appreciate it. Gonna try and get out either Friday or Monday. I live in Goulds so only little over half hour run. Cheers

Early morn and evenings have been the best times, and start at main beach and work around the coast via northside rd. Over by new marine institute bdlg. Good luck!

@@roby2331 thanks for the info Rob. Yes that’s where we tried last year when myself and my daughter were out. We left Goulds 430 and were out around 515. Forgot to ask what you use for hooks, just large spoons like daredevils and others or do ye use something else? Thanks again, Leonard

I like to use those gibbs minnows in the 1 oz size, and silver/green, or silver/blue, or even the silver/black ones. Makes for great casts, sinks enough, and they are durable. Grab em at canadian tire

Haha thanks! Not quite there yet! Comin up in july tho!! Do appreciate it tho mate! Cheers george!!

Thanks George! Welcome aboard bud! This spot was more off the tch closer to holyrood.. a great little spot to catch away at the brookies. Nothin to big around, but the quantity makes up for it as it is always a fun little afternoon! And the chicken pond is always great!! I love those ponds down thru chapels cove. Lots of browns and alot of sea run browns are in those ponds also! Cheers bud! Hopefully see ya there one day!

Thanks Darrell! And per usual, right back into the fog today.. i cant see my neighbours house… lol I am stoked to be out da house tho, been a long ass winter/spring(?) tight lines bud! Cheers

Thanks jason! As much as I love catching a big fish… there is something about just spending the day with average dinks amd gettin action every other cast. Been a long ass winter spring thing we have goin on for weather.. hopin it stays normal from here on out! And yes man, ya ever see me out n about on the water come say hi! Cheers dude! Tight lines

Thanks bud! Just a fun day all in all catching some trout! That river was pretty special way back for being a dirty river in a very old part of the city. I am sure there are some bigguns around but not like what it was! But was just nice to be outside again.. lol dang newf weather by..

Hi Len! Ya its been a slow start.. i have alot to go thru when i do get a new vid up.. its just been miserable weather.. no fun to fish in, altho i have been out a few times testing new camera and gettin used to it.. hoping to actually get out today if i can to try again! And dont worry! When the caplin start to show, the cod will be right behind them! I will be sure to post lots when that happens, bit will also give a heads up video to those looking to nab a few from shore! Talk soon bud! Thanks for checkin in! Cheers

Thanks Ed! Always try my best! Cheers

Yea that was down there. Nice spot. Have had decent days and also been skunked there. Still keep heading back! Prob about that time of year to make a visit!

Thanks bud!! Fortunately being on an island off the mainland of canada helps, as the winds here are always high, pushing any related smoke away from us, and more toward central canada, and into the US. Def tough times for those closer for sure! Thanks again for looking out bro! Also will have new content soon. New camera and lots of batteries this time around!!! Chat soon mate! Take care

Hey bud! Been out once or twice.. got some browns. Finally got a new camera, but the mic adapter is different, need to order piece tomorrow.. the audio is horrible. That added to usual 50-70 kmh winds makes it just painful on the ears.. thanks for checkin in! Lookin forward to a good season this year! Cheers!

Soon bud!! Wont be long now.. was out testing new go pro last few days.. needs a different mic adapter.. prob wont upload til i get that.. the go pro audio is horrible.. hope all is well mate!!

Nah this is east side of the island in conception bay! Holyrood side of things

@@roby2331 wicked spot buddy! Bay of island is amazing for mackerel too buddy. Loves your content. Trouting opens tmr! I’ll have a video on my channel tmr. looking forward for some more videos soon!

Thanks for the kind words bud! Hopin to get back at it tomo too.. been way too long! Sea trouts are only gettin half good right now.. been a cold slow start! I will habe to check out ur vid to see what ya get up too! Cheers and good luck tomo!

Been tryin, but had some go pro troubles, now the season is closed here until may 15, def still half winter here also.. lol lucky to hit a few degrees above freezing lately!! But thank you for the kind words and for the support! Hoping to have a new camera here soon so I can get back into the swing of things in a few weeks when the season opens again.. I will cover a few things in the first vid back to explain more!! Cheers mate!

Its def hit and miss for makerel at the house as they move around the bay quite often. Only got a few last summer but had more luck elsewhere. But by all means touch base late june early july, and i will update ya on if there are any around!

@@roby2331 Thank you sir! And thank you for the quick reply. I wasn't expecting a reply that soon. Hehehe. More than most youtubers doesn't reply messages. Anyway, i sure will. May i ask where in NL are you located? I'm from Glovertown, NL.

I always do my best to reply! Cheers bud!

Haha no sir.. I did venture out with a few friends the weekend past and did some ice fishing in a close local pond.. but that is not my style, i played with the dogs more than anything.. not much ice left on the ponds so hopefully a week or so of warm weather will open those up for sensible fishing.

Haha Cag, currently experiencing a winter storm… 12” snow if not closer to 18-20 plus winds 60 mph… also we have alot of arctic ice in our bays or along the coastlines right now.. have been out chasing sea trout when the weather allows, but holy cow its still cold as f.. ponds and rivers still iced up.. been a hard winter up here.. but as soon as the fishing is starting to wake up you know I will be out trying my best! Back yard stuff generally doesnt get good until june to be honest tho.. thats one thing i am super jealous of florida.. so much diversity in the salt water makes for fishing all year round from what i gather!! Hope all is well bud! Cheers

I wonder if you could ice fish out there... safely...of course...

Man....I just want to see you casting for cod.. mackerel..and those fish in your yard.....maybe a whale or tuna fish....all I got are alligators..but I need some rain..,your place is way cooler than mine...but..I am warm...stay blessed...

Thanks bud! It is slowly getting warmer but that arctic ice flow brings some cold ass air with it.. hopefully we get some southerly winds soon to get rid of the ice and put spring back on track!

Thanks for the kind words Bob! As for cod in the fall, generally you wont get them in close as the caplin have since spawned and left. But.. last year i was catching cod up until november in close while chasing sea trout.. now they weren’t as big, but still worth keeping if you wanted a feed. I was actually getting them even closer up the shoreline towards the river as thats where the trout and makeral where hanging around. Was interesting to say the least! Cheers

@@roby2331 Hi Rob , thanks for the info,. I'm planning a trip to the island late summer, early fall 2024.I was going to bounce around for trout but it seems as a non-resident I would be very restricted . Might have to go to plan B and saltwater fish. Thanks again , Bobcat

Our trout (freshwater) season is pretty dismal compared to the mainland, basically from may 15 -sept 7.. its ridiculous… after that there are further dates for certain waters til oct 7. Dfo has made a mess of this place for sure.. but all the same.. trout licenses are available for non residents, and i would say you would be fine going for a flick at any freshwater pond or whatever it may be as long as its before sept 7.. after that you really need to look at the regs for where your visiting.. it would be sea trout after that, and only certain places are open.. welcome to nofunland… lol jk its fun but really frustrating.. i have friends who are from bc, who have been here for years and still can not sort out the rules.. by all means.. keep in touch, and when your around I will do my best to either take ya somewhere or at least give ya some directions! Cheers bud

@@roby2331 Thanks Rob , I appreciate that, I will keep in touch. Take care.

Haha thanks man! I will say cone summer mowing the lawn is quite the adventure! I had to buy one of those self propelled mowers, and then install spikes in tire for traction to get back up the hill 😂😂

Haha yessir my friend… hopin for open water, but i will say… this has been such a nice change from it blowing 100 kmh all winter that if it stays sensible, and a hit cold, id even head out ice fishing! Which is def something i havent done in a long time.. i suck at cold weather haha! Thanks for the kind words Jason. Means alot! Hopefully the fishing year is a great one for all! Cheers dude!

@@roby2331 seems there are a few of us waiting to see your back yard in action..we can't wait ......but we will....

Haha ya i do have a few frozen for bait already!

@@roby2331 I do it with gators in back yard..I see them while washing dishes..then go out there and tease them with chicken legs..there a small video on my site.. I don't remember if I told you...I'm an old dude

@@roby2331 the other thing I do is I leave tackle down there so all I have to do is take a walk and bass fish..catfish and gars..monster turtles...I had no problems in 20 years leaving a few hundred bucks down at the pond...just so easier...

Imma go check it for sure lol.. not sure how id do with gators in the yard!

@@roby2331 I'm in Florida..trying to figure out how to get a bait to a tuna.... dolphins are easy...and they fight .line strippers...

Thanks for the kind words Kip! I have made many a trip to the old base down there! Hopefully getting back at it here real soon as feb 1 the season opens for ice and open water.. dont think we will see ice this year, but I am ok with that as it means no shovelling snow either!! Cheers my friend!

Alot of the time here you use a rod based on the weather and not the fish.. meaning i use a at least a 6 weight rod if not 7 weight, just to bang it out in the wind, which really is the battle around here, not the size of the fish..

As for a reel, man just a decent large arbor reel will be fine.. i have broken every “expensive” reel I have had.. lol same goes for rods too lol

@@roby2331 Thanks for the reply. So would you attempt to salmon fish with a 6, or would a 7 be better for all round? I can't get two at the moment....

I would prob grab a 7 wt.. not that salmon need anything more on the avalon but its a good all around rod. Personally I love a solid 6 wt for all around but I think the 7 is prob better suited for most folks!

@@roby2331 Thanks! Thats kinda what I was thinking...7 it is.

These are atlantic white sided dolphin, they like to school up in huge numbers… But! The tuna are there.. just hard to get a show this late in the year.. I did have a few good days down over the hill fishin makeral where they were puttin on a good show, but nothin on film sadly! Always lookin tho!!

@@roby2331 cool. Awesome video.

Thanks man, just literally was washing dishes looking out the window and it all erupted so I ran down the hill top speed and grabbed some video! Just wanted to share with all you guys! Thanks again for the view bud! Hopefully more soon

Rob...I don't need a super great fish catching video... just you going down back and making some casts...just to see what we can do in Rob's backyard...it's just such a great time at Rob's house...

Not much to cast at during this time of year my friend.. the north atlantic gets cold around this time of year, everything leaves for warmer waters for the most part. Everything freshwater is closed, i can try for sea trout but its usually 40 mph winds or more average.. not so fun in freezing temps.. but come feb 1 fresh water opens, ice fishing and open water so I am patiently waiting for that.. cheers bud

Thanks bud!
