Wow! What a last couple of weeks. The family and I made the big trip out east to Lake Champlain For stop #1 on the BASS Northern Open Tournament Trail. The fishing was great and we had an awesome time out there. I found plenty of Smallmouth and largemouth(with the help of the Humminbird 998 side imaging unit) that were willing to bite for me in practice. I thought that Things would go great for the tournament, boy was I mistaken. As every fisherman knows they don't always read the script. I finished 71st overall. Not great, but not bad for a field of over 200 boats.
I returned to the salmon fishing yesterday. I was fishing with Captain Dave Rusch aboard the "Family Feud". This is where I will be fishing mainly for the next three weeks. Wow, what a great return. The fish were chewing extremely well!! We caught 16 in just a hair over 4 hours. Several fish in the 14-16 pound range and a couple keeper lake trout. They were in the 80-100 foot range chewing on plugs, spoons and paddle/fly combo's. The action was pretty much non-stop. The crew decided that they had enough fish and we returned to the dock with a cooler full!
I will be trying to keep everyone posted on the fishing action. Good luck and Happy Fishing!

The Start of a New Beggining
We are up and running with the new blog page here at Northern Adventures. I will try to give as much up to date information as possible. This will range from the who, what, where, when and how. I hope you will find the information useful and interesting.
Today, I found myself back fishing a salmon tournament out of Frankfort, MI aboard the "JAWBREAKER" Captained by Randy Gum. This was the annual East Shore Shoot Out. We had a great time and ended up fifth place overall. We had several opportunities to put the fish in the boat to win the tournament, but never could quite get it done. It felt good to be back chasing the mighty Chinook again. We caught the majority of the fish on plugs today from 80 feet to 120 feet.
Well it is time to get ready for the next tournament. I am switching gears to go chase bass on Lake Champlain. Until next time Good luck and Happy Fishing!!
