Nice report lex, man those are niced sized pickerel... big lake grows big fish i guess!!

Ya... better than work for sure.

Very nice report.... poor bass... you were picking on them.

Good for you Remo... 'bout time!!

Up to camp one last time before the summer ends and back to school / work routine starts again... Managed to get through another year with Monique... lol 19 years now I don't know how I put up with her. Also gto my Dad and Aunt Claire in for the night for the first time. Took them out fishing for the afternoon and my Aunt cleaned up and showed us all how it was done.. what a fish fry we had!!! This is the second big green caterpillar we see... must be a lunar moth or something Avery and our first pickerel Then I brought the real fishermen out! My Dad had never done topwater before... theres plenty off the dock, he got a real kick outta catching a fish with no live bait. Avery taking a few loonies form his great Aunt... little buggers getting pretty good at crib! A nice family fish fry. Avery with a bass off the dock. Aver built a lean too during the cold front that blew through. After my dad left we spent the day exploring the water below the rapids. We did very well. Monique even managed to get us our salad!! Out Jimmy Jamming with the kids! Redneck corkscrew..... Back to work for a couple of days and then its up to temagami with the good ole boys for the long weekend!

Great Report!!

hmmm i didnt think there was ant road access,,, i think theres a gate on red squirrel road

Nice fish Lew, glad the wife and daughter are on the mend.

Sweet!

Theres also www.redcedarlakelodge.com Im pretty sure hes got camping.

Well... bear season is open.... i would think the outfitter would know better, but maybe not.

Awesome underwater shot!!

WHAT!!! Theres no walleyes up here!

Ok.. ill say it before anyone else does... "Monique Did...."

Dunno.. I dropped it off this morning.... it just quit after working very well... I think the float in the carb is stuck, or theres some kind of obstruction somewhere... cause I could get it to run, but only for a few seconds... in any event its way too small for me to be dinking with it..

Thanks guys.. HH... brush with greatness... well I dunno about that... but it was nice to see you.. Id have stayed a bit longer.. but we were running way late as it was.. and its still a chore to get into camp... Im bringing a worm box into camp next time so we can leave some in there, easier to keep than minnows.. Ill be interested in how the y work.. generally we use nipissing jigs (with trailer hook) Ive never used a harness before, although where we were doing well it was a very flat bottom with no snags and we were drift fishing, so I imagine a harness would do well there. LOL.. and Muskie got himself into some trouble at camp with Tookies dog... lets just say it involved some "lovemaking" and then the inevitable, oh my god... what have I done and then the hey where are you going yelping.... (much the same as us I guess... LOL) Its gonna be tough not to overfish the pickerel on my little stretch though, im pretty protective of it...

Spent 4 days at camp with some good friends and a day before and after with Monique. Accomplished a few things, cut a 300m trail/portage past our camp downstream to the next rapids and with some help from some lively Minnows, my buddy Tookie finally found where the pickerel were hiding on my stretch of the river. They were mostly very small, but we found a few big enough to eat! Oh ya finally!! SOME DECENT WEATHER!!! Here's some pictures: Our fearless duck having a snooze on the dock.. pretty gutsy with the two dogs around... Ole muskie keeping a watch out for Yogi My New Rubbermaid Minnow Cage/Livewell... worked like a charm!! I had tons of minnows left from last trip. Tookie provided us with the first fish fry. Topwater off the dock is always a blast.. you can pretty much bet on one or two in 5 min of casting! Here we are pouring over maps discussing what back lakes we should hit first! And then me "contemplating" all that info..... View of the Camp from the water! I took the ole 3hp out for a spin. Tookies grand guiding adventure... Looks like Mike caught a small pickerel and a clam in the same shot. Even ducky wanted in one the fishing action.... i didn't know this but did you know black ducks will eat minnows... this one was feeding on the dead ones from the Rubbermaid.. i didnt think they did! That day, I had the first equipment failure, when my 3hp ceased to function, and we were "backtrolled" back to camp.... embarassing, but it beat paddling! Sunset up the river.. always gorgeous. There were mushrooms everywhere, must be the damp weather... I should really learn which ones we can eat! The last day we were packed up but it was so gorgeous, we made arrangements to stay an additional night... and found 4 pickerel big enough to eat! Pan fried in butter, they were absolutely FABULOUS! A great trip with great friends as well as a few surprises!

Awesome... what a fish!!!
