Great outing TJ. Can't wait to bag a few grouse myself. And try not to hold those trouphy northerns vertically eh. lolol

I'm gonna guess mink. Martens live in mature conifer forests for the most part, mink have the white chin, but the picture doesn't show that. Fisher prefer conifer or mixed forests as well. I've seen them around belleville sine there population boom a few years back. That doesn't mean it isn't a fisher, but i'd be surprised to see one living in those rocks they are tree hunters.

In conclusion, i'm betting mink. Did you see a white chin Rich?

Great Trip! Your creature in question is a caribou.

Tigh Lines.

I've played this game with big pike more then once. One pike i had seen come out twice one day at a spinnner, then a day later at a spoon, then a few days later a spinner bait. I left her for about a week came back and she slammed a walleye 3/4 of the way back to the boat. Never did get her to the boat...

But i have boated 3 other fish "i knew were their". I find that in-line spinners are better for hook ups when they are being difficult AND you can stick a big twister tail on it without much trouble. Maybe you should try a bucktail? If she hits that and doesn't hook up you're going to have to get really creative lol

Starve a fever...feed a cold.

Lots of fluid and bed rest. Keep and eye ont eh back of your throat. If its strep you will get white blotches that look like hell early on. Then it goes red and you stay sick. you have to goto the doctor for strep or get into more trouble later on.

Go to the drug store and get some vit D and C. Both are instumental for the immune system. If you go ill tell you how much to take.

Good report. Awesome 'ski as well. I love that red and white hat lol

Thats basically how it should work...my uncle drives a fuel truck. However prices change so fast that one day Station A could get filled up at 85 cents a litre, and the next day Station B across the road gets it for 95 cents a litre. Station B has to match Station A's price and absorb the cost. This means when he gets a cheap shipment he might not drop prices, or when they get an excuse to raise prices they will. However some of the stations get "told" by a higher power what to charge. Anyway thats about all i know on the subject. Sometimes he (my uncle) cant figure out how they charge what they do. Sometimes the station is making money and other times they are loosing. Doesnt make much sence but thats the way it is.

I bring it up, cause it NEEDS to be brought up. Some people actually care that these remote lakes as they are, and arn't pumped full of crap. As far as the politics go. I left that out. I simply said "The Fed's". It's a federal issue. There is a protocol for mine tailings and that DOESNT include daming off river systems and filling them full of filth.

-R-

I'm too poor for a stock porfolio or a vehical for that matter. I do however feel for you boyz with your toyz. I watched the pump price jump and i just shook my head. Short of an all-out Revolution i think we maybe a bit pooched for the next few years.

-R-

those are going to be so damn good.

You know what i had for dinner tonight? Cheep Beef-crap on a bun and rice... I dang' hate rice! ... Want to come over for dinner? I can make some fine chips to go with that fish lol

Congrats

-R-

That's fantastic. I'm glad there are other anglers out thier making the effort. Reminds me of the Great Denny Leeson.

-Ramble-

Beautiful bow! Thanks for the photo's.

""You would go somewhere and spend time with a bunch of people you met online??? "Good example for the kids."

too funny.

I have no helpful advice at all. Good Luck tho lol.

-R-

Not a bad way to spend the weekend at all. I'm glad to see the rain didn't discourage you either.

-R-

LOL

The question i believe was gravity...Friend or Foe?

I was gonna say a Shimano Clarus or Compre for your rod. I use a Compre for 99% of my fishing it's a medium heavy and i was suprised this summer at the lodge how sensitive it actually was. For your applications tho, a medium action rod would do the trick. Shimano reel for sure. I have beat the HELL out of an old Sedona and she still lives...retired, but lives. Currently i have a Sahara 4000 on the rod. I'd say any one of their reels starting at the Sedona and ending at the Stradic.

that's my 2 cents.

I have only drifted worm harnessess a handful of times. Usually harnesses get trolled when i have seen them being used. HOWEVER i love drifting. Better then having the motor puttering in your ear. Even in the canoe we do a drift ...of a sort.

Drifting is far from lost.

I was guiding up in Kesagami, met a red haired, sctoch swilling, dude who goes by the Moosebunk who was their with another fishing fiend by the name of Floatfishin. Scuro was also in camp at this point in time with his wife.

Bunker told me to look up this site when i got home....and so i did.

-R-

LOL I wish there was fish there as well LMAO.

I think you have to go out farther. I know of people getting into the eyes out their at dark. The bite only lasts a short time from what i understand, i had a room mate who had a friend with a hut out their somewhere.

When my dad came up once and i was able get us onto a weedline. We found some perch and a few crappie. Its a descent place for kids cause you can laydown, look down the hole, and see bottom. So you can watch the perch come up to your bait.

There is a lot worse ways to spend a weekend then sitting out off the sand bar.

-R-

When i went to school in lindsay we used to fish off the sandbar, and YES there is huts out there in the winter. Out past the red buoy for the most part.

Anything Else?

-R-

awesome photo.

-R-

Ooooohhhhhhhh you are gonna have some fun. The scenery is going to be KILLER.

You report better by pic heavy lol.

...what about your fillet knife and a couple lemons? lol

-R-

I can't belive the Fed's are trying to pull this one off.

Yup floating in the Kesagami...we took a boat out to see how big the pike was and we got a double header of a sort lol. I've hade northerns hit 'eyes over the 18" mark bringing them into the boat. This year actually a guest landed a 48 inch northern on a 18" walleye lol.
