Imagine the opportunity to catch six different species of gamefish while being pampered at a remote island lodge in Northern Ontario, Canada. Red Pine Wilderness Lodge is that place. As hosts for the last 21 years my wife Janice and I have accommodated many satisfied guests from North America and some as far away as Singapore. Although Walleye is the most popular target, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass Whitefish, Perch and Brook Trout are all available on the 28 miles of Lady Evelyn Lake or the portage lakes that we feature. Check out all the details at www.redpinelodge.com or call the toll-free number to book your next all-inclusive fishing adventure.

Tip&Trick Description 1:
MEAT STOCK CUBE CHEMICAL LURE
This started off by being an applied science project in school linked to fishing for predatory species. I am happy for anyone to try it out. It takes some preparation but is worth the experiment. You can use it for river, lake or sea fishing from a bank, beach, pier or boat. Use the strongest line you have for dragging. Have a camera to get evidence of your catch.
First get your meat stock cubes – the red varieties are the best imitation of the fluids that leak from wounded prey. They are much cheaper if bought in the large boxes and cost even less if you can get them put on someone else’s shopping list.
You also need a pair of tights or stockings so ask nicely – particularly if someone is wearing them at the time!
Cut the tights/stockings up into 10cm (4in) squares and put them onto a flat surface.
Take the foil wrapping off of each stock cube being careful not to crumble it and place one centrally onto each square of the tights/stockings.
Tie the four corners of the material together into a firm knot – a test of your dexterity – you may need to use bigger squares at first and trim them up afterwards.
Then tie a length of line inside the knot of each lure bag leaving plenty of spare to attach to the eye on your lure. Store your bags in a waterproof and crushproof container.
When you are ready to fish attach a bag to the eye of your lure making sure that you tie the knot so that a used bag can be easily removed from the eye but cannot slip off during movement underwater. A pair of fine scissors will useful to do the cutting during bag changing. Dispose of used bags and line responsibly please – not into the water or onto the site.
Keep safe – wear a lifejacket if you are fishing on or by deep water. Keep yourself warm and waterproof. Do not fish on your own – it is safer with others. Let someone know where you are going and have a means of contacting him or her.

The Curvo party came all the way from Brazil after having heard how good the sailfishing was in Guatemala. They were not disappointed. After a great first day, they almost had enough. Mr. Curvo at 80 years of age was expecting to catch 1 or 2 sails and his son and nephews had similar expectations. 29 in one day was plenty...so much so that the last day they
decided to do a little inshore fishing so they could finish fishing early and take the sights of Antigua Guatemala in the afternoon.
