My first was smaller too...the good thing here is that you have an excellent chance at beating that PB many times now! Congrats by the way!

Whoa! Those were some big walleye there! Looked like an awesome time...and you were dialed into the fish!

Nice going Mike! Looked like a great time up there!

Great report and pics here! That sturgeon shot is pretty cool...would love to tangle with one of those one day out west!

Had a great time Geoff! It was great seeing the girls getting along so well together. Hopefully we can do that again soon! Nice meeting you Will!

I never complain about how hot the weather gets in the summertime. All winter long I dream of these hot days of summer! A week ago, Fishnsled and I had a few hours to kill, so we headed to Rice Lake to see what we could stir from the waters. The target of the day was bass and walleye. The morning started out with a flurry, but as the heat from the day crept in, the bite got tougher and tougher. Will always seems to catch bass....a species historically I don't do well with! I never seem to be able to catch these guys on the Kawarthas, so this was a nice surprise! Thanks for the invite Will! Always a good time on the water with you! =============================== This past weekend, GBW invited my little on and I up to the cottage to spend the day. Our daughters met for the first time and they hit it off right away. They were inseparable all day long! We first took our little ones out on the water to see if we could catch some fish. The only ones to catch were GBW with a bass...and my little one with a perch! GBW said something about a "hot spot", but I'm having my doubts.... We only spent about an hour out there and the girls were getting hot and wanted to go swimming back at the cottage. In we went to a nice lunch and they wasted no time in cooling off in the lake. They were in the water for pretty much the entire afternoon. After lunch, Young One finally arrived and the three of us hit the water again since the kids were clearly busy! It was hot out there, but we managed a few fish! Thanks GBW for the invite to the cottage...we had a great time!

Gotta love how this board brings people together! A 42" first muskie is a great fish! Something you won't ever forget I'm sure.

Great first report! You did well out there I'd say! Looking forward to many more from you.

I could feel the excitement in every word Cliff! Amazing report with amazing people. Congrats to all of you on a great day.

Looked like a great night! Can't complain about targeting bass and catching huge perch like that!

Great report! Love that sunset pic too!

Nice work guys! Lots of memories in the making at Jiggy!

Happy birthday! Hope you have the best day!

You know it's been hot when you step outside in 29C weather and it feels cooler than what we have been exposed to lately! Thursday though...38C without the humidity...upper 40s with...yikes!

I'm all for AC!! When can I come and visit?? LOL

Lol...that's awesome!

Wow! Long written report isn't necessary here...the pics tell the story quite well! Amazing report!

Another great report! I know how you feel too...went fishing this past weekend for bass and caught 2 walleye lol

Loved the walk down memory lane and the pictures are awesome! Great report!

Sounded like a great day on the water!! Multi species, multi fish and multi good times. Good job you two!

Gagnons in Oshawa has a 60 pack, 5 different colours in a plastic tray for $25. They have about a dozen on the floor as of 10 mins ago!

I am heading out west to visit family at the beginning of August and looking to head to a lake within a few hours of Edmonton/Red Deer. Does anyone have any suggestions? Anyone here fish in that area and can share what their experience was like? Looking for Pike, Walleye, Sauger... Thanks!

That's what it's all about!! He didn't see the problems as ruining your time...because the whole point is that you spent time together.

Very sorry to hear this news. I have been exactly where you are now and know how hard it is.

Thanks for the comments everyone! We had a great time. Ecmilley...the cottage was great and close to everything we needed. My little one is a fishing machine when she puts her mind to it!
