Right on man! We took some big pike in Elbow where those giant boulders are (We also smoked one so hard with the boat, Mike and I went flying, lol!) Trump is a good lake trout lake, nothing huge but lots of fish and all up shallow this time of year and the walk is pretty simple.

This would be really cool.. You'd probably spend more time looking at the screen then fishing Mike! lol!

My 6wt would have been destroyed Maybe next year I'll pick up a heavy stick and bring it along.

I thought I had a big pike on to be honest with the way it was staying down, then I saw the head and just started to laugh.

We caught them on everything, although each day kinda had its own pattern. Walleye pic should be fixed, dunno how that happened.

Thanks Chris, she didn't complain about the long days we had and caught a lot of giants. We camped.

Just got back from northwestern Ontario and some great pike fishing. I love these things, especially chasing giants in 2ft of water or less. Biggest fish of the trip was 47in, saw ones much bigger but they were rather uninterested in my presentations but did enjoy sunning themselves Surprise 29in walleye to finish the trip off as well! The 47in was one of the thickest pike I've ever seen, shoulders on these fish (Even the high 30in fish) were insane. You'll also notice no GoPro shots and fish being held 8ft away from us. No need to camera tricks with these things. Our best day was 12 over 40inches, I caught 4, 42inchers in an afternoon but of course she got all the big ones, lol. Can't complain, her first time pike fishing, she definitely got spoiled! Biggest for me on this trip was 45in, I'll be chasing that 50 next spring. No weights on these fish, just a quick measurement, pic then back they went. 47in giant.. she could barely hold on to it. https://i.imgur.com/NGBwq8j.jpg[/img] Bonus walleye! Hit a Dr spoon, not surprised I've caught some pretty big walleye on pike gear

Hey man! PA? I hope you're doing a lot of steelhead fishing on the south shore

Matt, I gotta admit some of the stuff you come up with does give me a good laugh, lol

Great report!

The only ones! Although I was at Bass Pro yesterday stocking up for my trip and couldn't find the real big ones I like. Pro tip, some gorilla glue on the shaft of the hook to keep those plastics from being ripped off

Yup.

These idiots post crap like this all the time, should have taken their gear and their licenses forever.

That's too bad, St.Croix makes a great rod with a great warranty. I'd rather have it US made then Chinese

DSLR is already packed

That's the plan man, but we all know how plans work out sometimes, lol!!

Packing for this week, I'll fish musky when I get home I guess Good job! Great pic of the moose!

You shouldn't have any issues with this rebate Rizzo, lol.

Goodluck! Johnson Silver Minnow with a big Kalins grub on the back was always the ticket for me when fishing up there

Nice job man!!! I'm heading to the land of giants on Thursday, I'm hoping to find the 50in'r that broke my heart a few years ago.

These are midges, I can't see the mayflies being out yet. Guys on Lake O have been dealing with these buggers for a few weeks.

Those sound like midges. Been swarming boaters for a few weeks now.

Sure, find the deep spots, get close to the bottom and keep at it.

If there are mayflies everywhere, then slow death hooks and little bits of worm would be the ticket.

Late spring = late bugs. Let's hope they stay at bay until I get back.
