Pictures!!!! We need pictures of this set up. lol A pic would be nice to help out, I'm confused as well Tonyb but that doesn't take much. . I'm thinking of going to Fluoro this year and the info would be nice.

Now that's a great story and a memory to treasure. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a good dinner, Roy!

 

I'm not sure if I've ever caught a sauger, how do you tell the difference? I looked it up online and the only reliable sign I could see was that sauger don't have the white spot on the tail like walleye do, otherwise they can be quite similar in colour etc.

I haven't caught a sauger in years but I remember that they had patches on them. If you look at Roy's pic of the fish, it's really prominent on the smaller one.

Nice report there Roy! I can't believe those other boats moved in on ya. The nerve.

Great report! Too bad you didn't get any real big ones. Oh well, I guess there is always next year.

I'm certainly becoming a bif fan of leaving the camera at home. I've had one of my best springs ever because of it. lol Great report even without a pic.

Great report! Those are some very impressive fish. Someday I'll have to get you to show me how that is done, never fished for them before. Thanks for the report.

Certainly glad to see that you are alright. As for the Jeep, a trip to the wreckers for a few parts, a new rad and some red/green special adhesive and your good to go. Been there, done that! lol

Looks like an awesome day! Thanks for the report.

Great report Taper. Don't feel too bad about being late either, I just put up my ice fishng report from Temagami that we did back in February! lol!

Hey Bly - Maybe we are on to something here. Forget the net, camera, etc = FISH!! lol Don't tell anyone our secret.

I will be bringing the camera this weekend or there will be no pictures to share. I've never kept a muskie and don't plan to. Thanks for the comments everyone.

Wayne you are certainly right about the sunsets, just beautiful. Next year we'll have to bring Dano with us if that is what it takes. lol

Northhunter - It's amazing how a poor fishing trip can still be an amazing adventure. Combine great company, good food, great scenery and you'll have the makings for a fantantic trip. Throw in a fish or two and that is a bonus.

Well that looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for the report!

Nice report. That set up looks pretty good. One of these days I'll have to give it a try.

Tonyb - nice job on identifying the fish.

I'm not quite sure why I'm having such a good start to the season but I'm not complaining. The first outting of the season was a bit slow but since then I've done really well. Maybe it's because I keep forgetting the camera, I don't know.

Report 1

This year I decided to take my birthday off and go do some crappie fishing. It ended up being a great decision as I probably boated around 60 fish for the day. A lot of small to medium fish but enough keepers to make me happy. Here's a shot of a couple of the keepers.

Report 2

The following weekend was walleye opener and I hooked up with my buddy Mike and his buddy Andrew for the day. It started off very cold and windy but that just seemed to have the fish turned right on. I boated 5, Mike boated 4 and Andrew got the 2 biggest ones that were around 4 pounds each. Like I said I keep forgetting the camera so no pics for this report.

Report 3

On the opening day for walleye my brother and his buddy John took my Dad out for some Simcoe whities. They did very well with each getting a limit. So I couldn't resist passing on this action so i took my Dad out the for some more. Well my Dad could seem to get them up but he sure was a great net man. 2 whitefish and a laker for me. Now where were these fish during the Tyler G2G???

Nice laker

And a pair of whitefish.

Man did they ever taste good!

Here's a shot I also took that weekend of the moon and Venus. I thought it looked pretty cool.

Report 4

This past weekend I went out with my buddy Ken who I'll be going to Kesagami with in less then a month We started out to go for some eyes but on the way to the lake the winds died off and we changed our plan, back for lakers and whities. I started off the day by loosing one after about 5 minutes of fishing. Then nothing for about 2 hours, time for a change. We moved onto another one of my spots and we manage a few hits but still nothing in the boat. I was beginning to think that I had cursed myself by loosing the 1st one of the day.

So we moved one more time and it was a good thing we did. Well for me anyways. I managed a small laker and a whitefish and had a few swing and misses. Ken had a few fish come and say hello but just couldn't get one up. He suggests that we move back to where we started so off we went. We pulled up on the spot and marked fish like crazy. We dropped our lines down and bang! Fish on for me. After a nice fight I pulled in a nice 7 pound laker. We gave the spot a few more minutes but had to call it a day. Thanks for the great netting job Ken.

Whitey

Pair of lakers

Now I'd rather be taking these pictures on the water but like I said I keep forgetting the camera. I am going to pack it right now so i don't forget it for next weekend. Hmmmmmm maybe I should just leave it at home.

I forgot about this. At least my brother and I got to test out the new clams. They were awesome!

Way back in February we did our annual ice fishing trip. This year the destination was Temagami. We were all pretty pump for a great trip but the fish didn't cooperate for us. Some beautiful scenery and some great company certainly made up for the lack of fish. My brother had one laker to the hole and lost it, well I kinda screwed up on the landing job, sorry bro. I had one tiny ling of about 9 inches and that was all. Oh well there is always next year. Enjoy the sights.

We sure ate real good!

Sunset

LOL

 

Hope ya didnt take that personal.LOL

Maybe Fisher didn't but I did. LOL! Oh ya! 8 pound test is fine.

You've got a PM.

Great report Cliff. Looks like good times for all and for a good cause to boot. Good on ya!

My condolences to you Lew and your family. I remember reading Ed's post a couple of months or so ago about buying his dream home and thinking that's the way to do it. If you want something, then go for it. Live your life to the fullest and enjoy each moment. It's something I think we can all learn from. He will certainly be missed my many. Very sorry for you lost Lew.

Sweet rides. I had one of these follow me for about 5 seconds before it passed and was gone coming back from fishing a couple of weeks ago. No time for my own photo so I uploaded this one. I want one of these for only $450K USD.

Inspired by the legendary 300 SLR Coupé of the 1950s, the new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is the perfect synthesis of tradition and innovation.

Should tow the boat no problem with all those ponies under the hood. Come on 649! lol

Good to here all are safe and sound. I'm sure we can all relate to the leaving things to the last minute. lol You did check the kill switch didn't ya? I did that one a few years ago. lol! I took the cowling off, pulled the plugs, no spark but motor would turn over great. Put everything back together, turned around and the kill cord was on the floor of the boat. Put it back in place and she started first try.

Great report Dan. Hats off for puttin up with the cold and getting some fish, I'd do the same. lol

A couple of great looking fish there guys. Way to go!

Misfish - Good to see you again as well. lol

Terry - you might be right about Yesterday Lake. lol Unfortunately I wasn't apart of the decision making. It was an after the booking invite that was too good to turn down. Maybe you'd like to come along and be the cameraman for the trip? I loved your perch videos!

Joey and motv8tr - It was a tough decision but after talking it over with HH he made it seem like the Kesagami trip was the best choice. I hated to leave him (not really ) without someone to go with to Lakair but with his move coming up it gives him sometime to deal with last minute stuff.

HH - We'll catch up next week and see how things are looking for ya.

In the meantime I've some fishing to do.

Have a great long weekend everyone.
