Great report and pics Glen Good lord what a beast Biggest cat I even seen... congratulations But one question..... where's the OFC sign in the pic... did you forget it? or it's on the other two pics? Talk about chocolate brown charlie brown..... the scenery shot of the lake looks the same as the ones around here in the fall, no leaves in the trees..... Again super job on the monster cat Glen and thanks for sharing Jacques

Happy new year to you to fishnsled It's always nerve wrecking to go through some of those test that your doc suggested you have but the longest is waiting for the results..... wish you the best and a speedy recovery for the upcoming surgery. Tight lines Leechman

Great report and pics Bruce Slow bite but what's important is you got out and had fun Morning breaky looks mighty delicious Thanks for sharing Jacques

Thanks Ben.... Yes the saugers seemed to be more present in that part of the Ottawa river. In the Gatineau river we do catch some, maybe 1 out of 6..... was surprised to see more then one caught and the meat has a sweeter taste to them

Thanks guys..... for those who notice saugers in the pics are right. Steve's first and third and my 15"er Thanks Mike.... There's still lots of time left!!! Thanks Dave.... your right, pic #4, 6 and 8 are saugers. That is so true Grimace about the characteristics and behavior. Thanks Bruce.... Sure was a fun day and the perch really love the fry in white color. You can also get them in chartreuse. I'm sure that you'll be surprised at the results. If you give it a try, let us know the results Thanks Matt.... I'm glad the skunk is off and 3 of the 7 came back for a snack, including the 15"er Thanks Don.... It's not so bad without a shack and being able to drive with the car can always sit inside the vehicule to warm up Thanks again Steve..... sure was a lot of fun... will have to do it again for sure. Will keep in touch!!

Thanks Dan Out of the seven we caught only 3 made it back for a snack

Thanks Glen Yeah the perch was on fire today and just can't believe getting so many of em in little time..... you should try the Gulp fish fry, that stuff is lethal

Great report and pics linweir Good looking lakers and whities.... congratulations Thanks for sharing Leechman

Very good points Glen Also if I may add, try to use single hooks vs triple.... it's a lot easier to get a single hook out then a triple when a fish swallows it deep. Leechman

Great report and pics troutguy Congratulations on that big laker Sure was a great day you guys had Thanks for sharing Leechman

Guys today the plan was for Paul and I to hit McBay late morning for some pannies and then later in the afternoon meet Steve aka TroutnMuskiehunter at his place for some eyes Weather wise couldn't ask for a better day, bright and sunny -10C and no wind..... Left home around 11ish, made a detour to get 1 dozen minnows and the way we go.... arrived at destination around 11:30am, did not go to our usual spot, went to the west side of the bay instead of the east and setup a couple of tipups each. We were in about 10' fow over a drop off and it did not take long, one of my tipups goes down..... set the hook and got the minnow stolen Hooked on another minnow, drop it down the hole and was just about to start jigging with my jigging rod and the same tipup goes down..... set the hook and again rip off Decided at that point not to hook on another minnow and got my jigging rod that was setup with Gulp fish fry and started to jig that hole..... here is the results Back to back action..... caught 7 of them in the spawn of 15 minutes..... perch was on fire After this little action was over, I setup my first tipup again and started jigging another hole and what do you know.... some action on the fish fry again Caught 6 of them in about 20 minutes..... just could not believe it Mean while Paul was punching holes a little further and he got into a little action and caught 8 perch jigging with the fish fry. There was a lot of traffic from ATV's racing close by while this action was happening.... then my first tipup goes down again real quick, I run to it and set the hook.... felt a lot heavier and pulled this snot rocket onto the ice After all this action was over and that I could not take the loud noise the ATV's were doing anymore, we moved to another spot but did not had any takers.... that is when we decided to leave Mcbay and go meet Steve at his place. Off we go Got there around 3:15pm, got setup and right away Steve get's a hit on his windlass.... and this is the results Nice little eye, quick pic and back down he goes..... Then he gets another not long after That was the closest I have been this season to walleyes and was hoping to get one but missed a couple of hits on my tipup and jigging rod.... Had a feeling that I would get skunk but did not dispare Paul did manage his first, little guy but could not get a pic quick enough, back down the hole it went. He did manage to catch a couple of perch and another eye. While all this was happening..... Steve gets a couple back to back on his jigging rod Now at this point, I was really feeling the skunk was to happen when all of sudden, was scooping the ice off the top of the hole of my tipup, I give it one last smack to get the top down but it did not come back all the way.... it stayed half down.... Set the hook and felt heavy and what do you know I say "GOT SOME SPUNK" and iced a 15"er Here it is my first eye of the season The skunk is off... Heeeeawe !!!!!!!!! LOL Since it was my first and only.... took another pic Man was I ever happy to land this eye!!!!! LOL All in all was a beautiful day with lots of action.... We caught 1 pike, 23 perch and 7 eyes Thanks Paul and Steve for this awesome day!! Hope you enjoy Jacques aka Leechman
