2 motors on a boat that size? Strange.

Wow, nice fish. I'm still holding off on the musky thing.

No stayed at Blue, going back up in August, gouging to stay at Reynolds that time I think, I would like to give mug lake a good work over.

Thanks guys, it was a memorable trip, if you have never done the drive from the Sault to nipigon that alone is worth it.

I will preface, this was not a fishing trip ( my wife reminded me frequently). This was a vacation that happened to have some great fishing along the way. Day 1 Kitchener-Tobermory No fish were harmed, we stayed at Bruce park, went for a hike had a great dinner and consumed copious amounts of beer and wine celebrating the beginning of our journey. Day 2 We Caught the ferry to Manitoulin did some sightseeing and crashed in some shady park in Whitefish falls. At this point i had Nipigon on my mind and as just trying to cover some Miles . We tried for some evening Walleye with no avail other than oos Bass. Day 3-5 Headded Through the Sault to Agawa Bay at LSPP. I have spent some time here growing up, my Mom used to work here in the 70's and we frequented the park often growing up. This place is infested with brook trout every ditch, culvert and lake holds fish and I sneaked off frequently during out stay to take advantage. I Love this Park and could spend a month here, so many fond memories over they years. Day 6-9 Nipigon I Have dreamed about this for years, I knew this place would be special And it did not disappoint. hey I have a giant brook trout tattooed on my arm what can i say. In fact I already have a ten day trip planned for next spring. Day one I was greeted at the lake with dead flat water and beautiful scenery. I was shocked as I left the ramp I spooked a monster Brookie from the shallows in gin clear water it would be one of the many 5 lb trout I would see at the side of the boat that day that would not bite. I fished for 8 hours and had 15 plus fish follow to the boat that would not commit. the fish were sunning in 1-3 fow on points it was magnificent and infuriating. I had a hard time sleeping that night knowing i only had 24 hours left to make it happen in the place of my dreams. The next morning the winds were sketchy but with the pressure on I headed out any ways I beelined it to my favourite spot..... first drift 3rd cast... fish on... was the biggest Brookie of the trip at 17 inches... no monster but the pressure was off. I fished the same drift for the next hour catching 6 trout all small and all in 1-3 fow before the waves were WAY more than i was comfortable with it took me almost an hour to get back to the shelter of the bay I launched in. It was now 9 am but the waves were upwards of 2 ft in the river with gusts of 30mph I was stuck in a small bay but managed 3 more trout. At around noon i got desperate and I sent out a planer board with a small spoon 10 ft behind it with a plan to crash it on the shoreline to try and trick the spooky monster of my dreams. not 2 min in i had my moby dick on the line....i was in utter dismay when i got it to the boat and it was a 5 lb Whitefish. This is a magnificent place, and i will be back often.. Sorry I need to work on the selfie fish pics. Also saw my first ever lynx here. Day 10-12 Fushimi This place is Just outside Hearst And we loved It. Small park with 50 Campsites, and Great Fishing, Fish were in Tight in 3-5 fow near river and creek mouths. For the most part simple fishing something I have not done in a long time . Jig and Minnow was the ticket. Day 11-12 Was spent socializing in in Iroquois Falls my guide for Big Abitibi fell through so i was kinda bummed but was nice so see some old friends and their new children lots of beers and laughs. Day13-14 Was spent near Temiskaming Its were my wife and I spent our honeymoon and is special place to us I hit a rainbow and 2 speck lakes but the fish had complete lockjaw with the 30 degree temp and high sun. Many more beers and some great food was had. Was a fantastic trip that reminded me how much I miss simple fishing, just fishing for whatever bites . There was no monsters, just lots of laughs with the wife, a great suntan and memories that will last a lifetime. In fact I have decided to sell my Salmon Boat next spring and will be picking up a big tiller. anyone have any experience with Alumaweld sportskiff in the 18-20 ft range Big thanks to Chris Brock for letting a complete stranger borrow his boat MIke Borger Adam Dempsey BILLM Bunk for all the tips,spots and maps

Lucky devil

Nice going, I need to figure how to put more coho in the boat. They sure taste good.

My 2010 supercrew ford has been bulletproof and its been to hell and back. 165 k so far no major repairs. Average 14l/100

I have a pair of Ridgeback rattlers...some days there the ony thing in the boat that catches fish no intrest till they go down then the screen lights up.

Still have 2 days of chasing trout left

Awesome trip, call me next time I love me a good bookie hunt. What was the biggest bookie of the trip?

Nice looking weight . I've chatted with the owner on another forum seems like a good guy. Made in kitchener or Cambridge I belive . I just can't spend 75 on a weight I buy used and on clearance .

I will be there tomorow. Will let you know how it goes .

They lone a tool at crappy tire to pull gimbal, but the new alignment tool is spendy i managed to borow one for mine you can't do it without it.

Sorry for the loss of your freind

i cooked this guy up on sat for my aunts 50th birthday ...

Who needs a net anyways right?

Nice going, fingers crossed but it's shaping up to be a better year than the last few.

lol its a catch and possession limit been that way for as long as i can remember

I enjoy the "hunt". The planning, scouring data on temp, currents, winds ect involved with Great Lakes fishing. .. I get just as much pleasure netting a fish for a friend as I do catching one myself.

Ahh much better, not sure what went wrong there. Glad you had fun and we caught something.

Ok....weird.. Anyone else having photobucket issues today
