LeXXington

This year has been a slow year for me for fishing due to lots and lots of work. Then last week I got a nice note from management to start taking days of before the end of the year. Great! all summer they tell me not to take vacation but now the weather is crap they want me to start using it up. What else to do this time of year then head up to BOQ and search for some BOQ Gold.

Boat was all packed, hotel all booked and ready to head up. Then I get the dreaded "call" sorry buddy can't make it something came up

Since I was going up alone, Lloyd from U @ ME Guide Service is a good friend and is doing charters up there so I sent him a PM to see if he was around. Always nice to know someone else on the water.

Talk about a lucky PM, Lloyd also had a last min cancallation but was taking 1 person out anyway and had some room.

Hummm let me think about this,, take my boat out alone or go on a fully stocked charter boat. No question U&ME it was.

Left my house at 3:00am to meet up at the dock for 6:30 am and off we went.

I will let the pictures show most of the results but it was a magical day on the water, Lloyd really knows his stuff and had us on the gold eye's early on.

Day-2

The Original plan was just for me to head out on the U & Me charter for one day then use my boat for the next day and head out alone. The forcast for winds was going to be crazyness so lucky for me Lloyd had a cancallation.. He told me if its not bad in the morning we could go out and if it gets rough just come back in.

I thought with the rough weather coming the fish would be turned off and it would be just be a bumpy boat ride..

6:30am at the dock and light winds.. Again Lloyd did his magic and below is even a picture of him fishing.

Our crazy wind day

And I thought I had lot's of fishing stuff.. Lloyd is stocked and then some.

Then the winds hit around noon and we had to call it a DAY!!!

Cheer up, there is always more where that came from. She keeps talking about these new revenue tools.. Right

They're all the same. The longer they stay in power, the more inept or complacent they are with tax dollars.

 

We need to hit the "refresh" button both provincially and federally (and perhaps even municipally).

I prefer an ejection button.. right into a lion den..

No way hunters, or anyone else for that matter, could be expected to know all the different things natives hold sacred and I personally think their outta line for complaining about this.

 

But that's just me

The leader of the native group called and spoke to the hunters. Upon explaining the importance the hunters now understand and gave the hides for spirtal ceramony. All is good.

I think the issue was not the complaining but complaining to the wrong people.. They went to the media first if they just contacted the hunters first this would be a non story.

great post.

LOL.. unless you have a couple of well trained lads from the Ottawa Valley on hand to break in anyhow! Ramp definitely still there.. just don't park in the Tip's parking lot!

Thank god for no photo evidence of that poor guy

Love when that happens, Looks like a great day on the water

Always a great read!!! Wow!

Amazing pic's thanks for sharing. I am open for adoption if your going back

Great report thanks for sharing

Always good to post when you get great service.

Nothing worse than going into a bait shop and they are more intrested in taking to each other than customers.

Amazing pics as always

You have a great talent at taking breath taking pictures.

I perfer the tired and tested baits that you can find anywhere but if I see something that looks intresting I will give it a try.

I would say every so often, an independant comes out with a new concept that works great.

Not really intrested in the specialty top priced baits. $15 for a life like bait, I want to fish to bite it not mate with it.

Thats an amazing fish!!! great going

IT's GREAT news! I just hope they adjust the pricing unlike another major competitor

Can’t understand the logic if I can order from the US and get it delivered to my door cheaper than driving 20K away and buying it.

Watched a family get in a argument with a sales person… “but sir we can get it from your store online and have it delivered cheaper than its listed here” the response was sorry please order from the online store? nothing we can do.

That is cool, I will be doing that the next time I redo the bunks

Thanks for sharing

Always amazing pics Joey.. You have a real talent for wildlife.

congrats

Wow that is some excellent fishing. Thanks for the pics

excellent

It was a great weekend thats for sure,.. Just perch and pike for me.

So nice to be on the water again.

NEW boat congrats!!.

I looked around because Statefarm raised my rates for 2013. After checking with all the others I signed up with Statefarm again.

I do a couple tournaments a year. Best I did was (2nd) in Fish Kincardine Salmon derby nice payout .

Love the challange, working your skills and the rush of putting a big fish in the box.

You have to be dedicated, prepared and willing to work to win.

I have been out twice of IBP and only hooked up once. Very slow so far.

Yes, and lots of perch.

When the trails were packed I had no issue on a atv just watch the slush pits on a bike, they come up fast.
