Good job on finding the walleye with some friends. Keep any for the pan?

You guys might like this, i posted it last year but it's definalty relivent here since the conversation seems to have gone of on a bit of a tangent lol

30 inch northern with a 16 inch walleye.

What ccmt said....I have had the "pleasure" of experianceing Bell's sympatico...it works almost as well as their help center. Lite is worse. I have NEVER had a problem with KOS.

Not sure if you are in their coverage area but you should check out KOS. Kingston Online Service. I was getting it in peterborough last year, and we use it at home as well (Belleville). Don't quote me but i think its $35.00 a month for regular DSL and $16 a month for Light.

What school?

Thanks Bill. I wasn't thinking of that.

Fishnfever i work at Kesagami in the summer.

Great Report! You guys landed some nice fish. What was the most productive structure?

-R-

Another nice fish. Good tip as well.

I really do prefer barbless hooks, or at least less hooks. Three sets of trebles on a lure ...."annoys me" shall we say. At the lodge its a single barbless policy, sure we loose fish due to the barbless, BUT technique is everything, you have to keep the pressure on at ALL costs. Bass fishing i went to barbless, then back to barbed hooks. With all the jumping they tossed so man baits it was unreal.

I like using inline spinners for certain species and all of those i have are single some barbless. I fish lakers twice a year, those i intend to keep, so i use barbs their as well.

My williams spoons are mostly single hooks. They take a 3 inch grub so much better and the action is incredible.

Any lure with 3 sets of trebles quickly becomes 2 sets, and i still glare at the 2 remaining clusters of trouble.

Barbless lures have their place, but so do barbed lures. A better question might me SINGLE or TREBLES?

As for handling i pride myself with knowing my trouphies still swim. I handle them with respect and they are out of the water as little as possible. Even most of my bass get a 2 hand hold. As my Limno teacher at fleming once said "A bass was NOT ment to support its entire body weight on its lower jaw." He has a point. Big fish dont respond well to verticle holds well. SO i dont do it. How you handle a fish is more inportant then that hooks you are using in my books.

The rest of you lurkers please don't sign me up for any clown on monkey gang bangs or Conservative party news letters. I view both with equal contempt.

Education!

You can be a fishing guide in the summer, and still get in a spring bear season in Sask or another province if your after the hunting aspect. All the while doing the schooling thing. You can always guide next year, lodges will still be looking for guides.

Beautiful fish Bly.

Might as well clean out the car and leave the windows down and doors unlocked. Save the hassel of gettin the car demolished by the local "thugery". Some caring sole once helped me empty my gas tank while I was fishing. Almost didnt make it to the gas station. Thank the lord i was parked at an angle.

-R-

Yeah that was dick move on their part. Have to be stopped as mentioned above. Hunting in the after noon isn't too common, but the other day my buddy had flocks moving all day so they didnt leave till about 1pm. Whenever you can get out i guess.

-R-

awesome

Sorry about the double post. Have a bit of a user interface issue.

GOod report, and Nice fish. Those were some nice clean lookin Musky. Good job.

I'm ready for the next report anytime.

-R-

It is the same fish as my avatar... there is some good photo's of that fish that Lonnie hasn't released yet. If i see them in the mag anytime ill let you know. It was a 44" fish. A few times i have seen pike articles with Kesagami fish in them.

Anyway here is a link if you want to see more pictures of my pretty face, and another big Kesgami Northern Gord Pyzer caught.

I should also be on fishin' canada sometime, and in a couple other mag's as well. I'm also online in a few places lol. It's all Kesagami related. Except for my exploits here lol

Oh and Scuro....flattery will get you EVERYWHERE lololol.

-R-

Beutiful fish. I got a few weird looks from around the computer lab when I read "It had a lamprey stuck on it that I beat to death in the boat. " and started laughing.

Keep up the good work.

Well my friend, you have set the bar a notch higher yet again. I hope i can pull off something half as awesome with the K-Sawg Report which is brewing in my mind. I'm not sure really sure what else i can say. It was a well rounded report. More writting needs to have depth to it like your reports. Good story telling is a dying art in todays world, but by God it's not dead yet!

The quote "If you take a guy to a place where the environment wraps around him, the inner ego lets go and he can become a part of the land" hit a personal chord with me. Usually it takes me about a month to get "back to reality" after i get out of the north and i could never put into words why.....that is why.

Keep up the good work Duuuude.

-Dave

Awesome Report Bunker. I dont need to tell you why....you know.

Great Writting as always.

-Dave

Laker was caught on a jigging spoon in about 30-40 feet down.

Thanks for all the comments
