Canadian Mist Keeps on Rolling
July 29, 2015We have new photos and confirmation that Xtreme Bass Tackle™ Canadian Mist continues to put fish in the boat. Thanks to Matt Kar (St. Catherines, Ontario), who although not disclosing the location of his catch has documented once again how Canadian Mist dominates the bait industry in catching smallmouth bass everywhere. Matt says that he primarily fishes the Niagara River, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. 
Thank you Matt for sharing this moment with us. Purchase Canadian Mist Tubes at Xtreme Bass Tackle or Call (877) 485-2223
St. Clair Smallmouth Liking New Tube Color: Sweet Green
May 12, 2015
Xtreme Bass Tackle tube Sweet Green LE
Newly introduced in May of 2015, this tri-laminate tube has already made waves. Last weekend the Xtreme Bass Tackle™ staff took this limited edition bait out to play and got good results.
The bite was slow on the Mile Roads so we moved down toward the Detroit River and found smallmouth bass cruising around everywhere that there was sand, rock and shallow water. Normally they chase down baits that are moving in the middle of the water column but not on the day we were there. As it turns out, they wanted the bait on the bottom and they wanted Sweet Green™. We ended up catching over half of our smallmouth on the 4″ Sweet Green™ tube.
The bait has a Formula G3™ back and Canadian Mist Lite™ belly that includes a chartreuse glow showing though the front half of the tube. The green pumpkin top and green glow on the bottom make up the dominant color of the bait. The highlight color and most likely the color trigger for this particular bait is the small purple flake that runs across the top and bottom along the full length of the tube.
Some of the backwater smallmouth were the biggest. Only 18″ but over 4 pounds
This Sweet Green smallmouth was brought up to the boat and the line broke off. Fifteen minutes later it was caught again and now he had two Sweet Green tubes in his mouth
“Visions of Canada glasses and Xtreme Bass Tackle new tubes helped me crush the big girls. Sweet day on the water!”
Not to be outdone, Canadian Pro Bob “Jigger” Mann and Capt. Mike McGrane took Sweet Green LE out a day later and generated action too. This first photo and text came in from Bob:

Big Smallmouth in Fall on Lake St. Clair
October 13, 2014Fall is a special time of year to chase smallmouth bass on Lake St. Clair. The bass are schooled up, aggressive and it is the time of year where you have the potential to catch the bass of a lifetime. Reports have been coming in about bigger smallies and tournament weights are up.
One one recent scouting trip we caught several including this 4 lb. 14oz smallmouth on a crankbait and others like this 3 1/2 lb. smallmouth caught on an Xtreme Bass Tackle St. Clair Goby NFT™ drop-shot tube. Both were caught in Canadian waters.
Caught in 8 feet of water on a crankbait this smallie went 4 lbs. 14 oz.
This one was only 3 1/2 lbs but it was in an area with many more smallmouth in 18 feet of water
Canadian Mist & Smallmouth on the Niagara River
September 11, 2014by Matt Kar, St. Catharines, Ontario

We were originally fishing the eastern Lake Erie basin but couldn’t seem to find the big ones we were looking for. With upcoming tournaments we figured it was a good day do due some scouting in the river. We didn’t have much luck at the usual spots but I had remembered the rough location of a rock out in the middle of the river. We used our electronics to locate it and never looked back.
We caught 2-3 fish a drift… Basically all depended how long it took you to reel the last one in. Anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5 lbs. All in all we caught about 15 fish between 12:00pm-1:30pm in 14-22 feet of water. We only stopped because we had to leave.
Canadian Mist and St. Clair Goby NFT™ tubes rigged on a 3/8oz jig were the ticket!

Tom Billings Continues to Catch Big Lake St. Clair Smallmouth
August 17, 2014
St. Clair Goby NFT™ drop-shot tube by Xtreme Bass Tackle™
Tom Billings comes up for a fun trip this weekend and in spite of some high winds and boat chop manages to put together a livewell full of smallmouth at 4 1/2 lbs. or better all caught on the Xtreme Bass Tackle St. Clair Goby NFT drop-shot tube.
Although the river is your traditional pick for big fish this time of year he was able to get all of those bass in the Lake and on the U.S. side. That’s good news for any bass angler who is coming to Lake St. Clair to compete, or just enjoy this fishery!
Day two of Tom’s trip on Lake St. Clair he continued to catch smallmouth but then hooked the biggest fish of his life. This Middle Channel sturgeon was estimated to be 6 ft. long and took one hour to bring up to the boat. See video of the fight (not the whole hour of course) at Facebook (click on this link).

Lake St. Clair Bass Opener 2014
June 20, 2014This bass opener on Lake St. Clair is sporting large numbers of catchable smallmouth and largemouth. In a year where many were predicting a late season after a long, harsh winter we seem to be right on schedule. By design, opening day is designed to coincide with the end of the spawn and the advent of the post-spawn period. That’s right where we are.
Some environmental factors like weed growth and early migration patterns for birds have run behind. There are many spots that should have mature weed on them by now and they don’t. It hasn’t affected the bass though. Arguably, opening day is one of the most difficult to fish for high weight and this year is no exception.
East winds over the last couple of days plus north winds this weekend haven’t slowed the bite down much. The numbers are there but some presentations like topwater might be weak for smallmouth. Water quality is good to excellent in most spots.
Fishing pressure will most likely hit a new high this weekend. The normal array of large tournaments are in play but a good number of club tournaments from all over will fill the Lake as well.
Canadian Mist continues to be the “go to” bait for this body of water but keep some St. Clair Crayfish on hand as well. It just sold out at the BP store at 9 Mile and Jefferson and we have to restock them right away. That tells us something about the bite! As we move in to the mayfly hatches keeping some Xtreme Bass Tackle Mayfly can be an excellent choice as well. Fish it “wings up” or “wings down.”
If you are fishing down river don’t forget to stop in at the Bait & Tackle Box on Jefferson and Grosse Isle Parkway in Trenton for your Xtreme Bass Tackle needs.
