Nice shot of Lloyd's belly

That is one fat-bleep laker!! Beautiful brookies, Bill!!

Finally leaving for this years trip tomorrow!!

Depending on how well it all goes, and, availability for next year...might be booking it by the end of next week.

Looking forward to the pics!! Beautiful part of the country

Great report. Sounds like you had a blast. Love the mink "shots".

Holy giant smallies!! Nice looking fish too, beautiful markings.

Felt the one last year, never felt a thing this time.

Prayers and thoughts for you and your family Mike!

Restoule, waterfront site

I second that!!!! Beautiful park, and, if you get the right site, some decent shore fishing.

[Good times. I don't love musky, pike, bass, trout, carp, etc... I just love fishing.

Yup, all the way Rich!! For too many years I got stuck in the steelhead only rut.

Fishing is about getting out and enjoying the experience. Whether you are catching bluegill or blue fin tuna!!!

I usually pass my rod to my wife and ask her politely to remove the knot.She has far more patience than I

LOL!!!!!! That makes two of us! Juli has smaller fingers and more patience. I just pick up one of my other rods and keep fishing

Yes, that is a Giesler boat.

That appears to be a Nipissing Special. An 18 ft.

We still build new ones. If you need any parts for it, let me know.

I thought so! Is your shop in Powassan? If so you've probably met or dealt with my better half's dad Craig Meadows. He's picked up all his materials for his rebuild there.

Freshtrax, I'll send you some pics and a phone # in a PM when I get a chance.

Sure looks like it could be a Giesler. My better half's dad has spent many hours restoring one over the last few years.

PM me if you wish any information. I'm sure Craig would be happy to share any tips or info that he has.

That boat has been a labour of love for him, and, ironically Long Point may be where she is re-launched for the first time.

Cheers,

Frank

I was at CTC today and picked up(picked up) a spool of six lb. Looked at it,felt it. Seemed like a very nice smooth line,but like you said,if your going to tie on a floro leader,it,s not much better then the rest.

 

 

I put it back in the rack.

I did the same thing, today, Brian. Might give it a shot at some point, but, not quite yet.

Sounds good Albert! Pretty similiar to the brine I use for smoking salmon. Should turn out great.

Great report buddy!!! Wish I could have been there to help you two reel a few of them in, lol! But, alas, it was soccer Saturday for us, as you know.

Well done!!

Some cool shots, Joey!!! Good to see you all had a great time.

A Walmart parking lot?

LOL, that made me chuckle out loud, Rick.

 

 

That was your best report of all Drew.

 

 

 

 

 

Having read the entire report now, I totally agree! One of my dreams is to someday catch arctic char, I've always been blown away by the spectacular colours of the near to spawning males, that dream just came back full force. Drew your descriptive narrative is superb, completely draws the reader into the adventure.

THANK YOU for what may just be the best, and there have been many spectacular reports on this forum, fishing adventure "read" yet!

BEE-YOU-TEE-FULL!!!!

FRIDAY MUSIC!!!!!

Ok, Got the line, start reading the box.Says its for spinning reels.Humm. I wonder if it can be used successfully on a Bait Caster. Guess i'll have to try it.

Garry2Rs, where are you when i need you

Think the main concern with it on baitcasters is "line dig" on the spool.

Great stuff, Mike!! Here's hoping you and your dad get out many more times!!!
