Caught my New personal best last weekend, here’s a video of the chase and hookup. Fishing for big northern pike on the May long weekend https://youtu.be/tqKno73nnE8

Photo taken in 2014 in Eel Bay. A 7lb 21" small mouth. 3rd cast of the day, with a crank bait. The prior weekend I caught a 6lb smally in the exact same spot.

This is not my 4 year old’s first bass but it is his largest. Caught in the late summer 2019. He hooked it and brought it in both very little help from dad. His dorito covered face says it all!

This was my 4 year old son’s first pike! He’d been trying hard all day when finally this guy bit while he was just dragging his lure on a drift. It was very hard to get in on his little kids ugly stick rod and no break off this time! He asks me every day when fishing season will open again this year.

Couldn't believe how big it really was till i seen the head come across the 8 inch hole in the ice, then i new we needed the gaff.

Sydenham Lake features two distinct arms, a shallower north arm and deeper south arm, giving it a structure that lends itself to a variety of sport fish species. Pike, bass and walleye are the main target species in Sydenham Lake. There are some great weedy areas along the eastern edge of the south arm of the lake, perfect habitat for all of these fish. For pike or largemouth bass, cast a large spinner into the weedy shoreline. This is a fairly reliable lake for pike, and they will go after anything flashy. Largemouth bass are somewhat more particular, and crayfish imitations are a good choice. The western section of the lake is deepest, reaching 120 ft. (37 metres). Try this section for smallmouth bass and larger pike. Deep water lures are more likely to attract smallmouth bass, and they tend to be less fond of rocky cover or other debris than largemouth bass. Smallmouth bass tend to fight harder than largemouths. Eastern Ontario Bassmasters host a series of open tournaments and events on Sydenham Lake throughout bass season. See their schedule page at easternontariobassmasters.com. LAKE ACCESS Sydenham Lake is located 24 km north of Kingston and south of Frontenac Provincial Park in the County of Frontenac.
