I didn't experience any flooding.... maybe it was a different area... I was around Apsley.

Yup - I can confirm that. Was there on Saturday and the water level was about 2.5 feet higher than last summer.

Location: Bewdley.

No pictures Blush phone died when the canoe flipped over.

Lost:
- My pride - had to be rescued by sea-doo
- 2x spinning combos - bottom of the lake. Confused

caught and safely released the following:
- 1 crappie - heddon tiny torpedo
- 1 perch - #3 dollarama in-line spinner
- 1 rock bass - #3 dollarama in-line spinner
- many large mouths between two-four pounds - #1 and #3 dollarama in-line spinners, dollarama crankbait and heddon tiny torpedo

Glad to see those dollarama spinners performing.


How did your canoe end up flipping? that SUCKS! I'm always paranoid about my stuff going to the bottom in the event of a flip Dodgy

I made an outrigger out of PVC pipes and insulation foam - it was a test run (nothing screwed in permanently) and the outrigger was working amazingly well until the float arm popped off its joint. My partner instinctively leaned over to grab it out of the water and the shift in balance caused the flip.

It was an expensive first fishing trip - $$$ for 3 month old cell phone and brand new fishing gear (I'm a n00b).

The good news is we aim to keep fishing and I already have my first fishing story SmileBig GrinTongue

Hopefully, I'll be able to participate in a few meet ups and learn WHAT TO and NOT TO DO from the veterans here in this forum. Big Grin

I'm going shopping for new fishing gear tonight. Debating between Bass City and Bass Pro.

How is Bass City?

I always drive by it but I have never checked it out. I might stop in to pick up some worms on my next outing.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They had friends there helping them out during their anniversary sale and we got some great fishing advice and they helped to select the right spinning gear/line combo.

I'll definitely visit them again.
