Hi all, Plan was to go to Lac Seul this morning. Had everything ready to go and was up at 6:30 am. Rain was bucketing down outside and I think the noise on the roof woke baby Jack. He came out to the couch and we snuggled up...before I knew it and 3 episodes of toopy and binoo later it was almost 9 o'clock! I made Jack some fruit salad and we all had pancakes too, by now I did not want to go up to Lac Seul, just a good family morning. About midway through shopping in town....the urge to fish was again upon me. I planned to just put the boat in locally somewhere after lunch. I lay down with Jack to give him his nap time milk...fatal...I woke up 2 hours later next to a snoring baby and sleeping mum. I eventually headed out at 3:30pm and after a brief detour to town was at my shore fishing spot at 4pm. A guy called Rob who I met 2 years ago at the same spot was there again. Him and his buddies have been coming up to the area for 20 years to moose hunt. We missed each other last year and had a good chat about what had gone on for both of us in the last 2 years. Fishing was awesome and it was a fish a cast for the 2 hours we were there.

thanks for the replies folks, yup...its going on our lake...just round the corner on the ice road though. I'm glad a few of you caught on (at last) to the B52s references Musky mike...good advice...will see how it goes first although i think i will put up the heat shield before the ice comes.

Leftover outboard gas...how the hell did you manage that!!??? :dunno:

Thats what i do.

sorry to hear that Chris. Losing family is hard.

while i'm not a musky fan(atic)....i am a fan of being on the water with family...and if i caught musky like that regularly i might be persuaded..... Great post Mike. Like the lure...it would be great for bass too!

Been waiting to see this report G-Man...wyg....nice fishes! Kepp the reports coming!

Hi all, What a perfect evening for a spot of shore fishing. The lake was like glass which usually results in slow to terrible fishing...but the bite was almost non stop for the one and a half hours i was there....lots of little walleye, a few decent keeper size and 2 or 3 18" +. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HxhUnAkNbS4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Thanks guys...good tips!

That looks like fun! Being up close and personal up to yer @!#$@ in water....lol...only way to go!

Nice one doooood. :thumbsup_anim:

Fantastic stuff Ryan. If Avery piloting the tiller does ot give you a lift after feeling a bit down...nothing will (i know it did by the way).

This post sums it up Jacques, charity, love, artistry, nature, loyalty and fun....your a top bloke!

I was thinking the same thing guys. Would i not then need to put up board on the inside too?

have you ever ice fished dana?

I'm thinking the house warming will be around 12th December. Yes Craig....i think i'm gonna join our little ice shanty village on the ice road to town this year....Jack has already made some friends with some of the old timers there. LOL...they grow quick though....he is getting one of these next Xmas....another neighbour in the bay has put it aside for us at a great price (her son is too big for it now) Cant wait for the season....fired up the snow machine today...3 pulls and she fired right up lol... :worthy: What the hell...yoiu trying to JINX it or what...grrrrrrr. Yup...they are good neighbours who will be sadly missed. They are moving further north for job reasons, and they have stored a whole heap of stuff behind the tree line of our property to get it out of the way as requested by the realtor... the shack was his way of saying thanks for the temporary storage...really nice of them!

Hi all, My nearest neighbour gifted me this today. Jack and dad....and mum have a new winter home. "I got me a skidoo it seats about 3 and we're headin' on down to the Ice Shack..... ice shack....baby ice shack....... "

you know i like that pic Rob! great shot...keep up the good work!

Thanks for the replies folks...yup...i'm definitely enjoying them being here...and having mum enjoy what i like is a definite bonus! LOL..hey BB....until a late flurry of walleye for me she was kickin' my butt too!

Never caught a brookie before either! have not finished my washroom either! Now i have to things to do....i wonder which one will be attempted first. LOL...i bought a book about how to avoid procrastination...guess what...i still haven't got round to reading it....lol

In the world of internet....and particularly youtube.....the use of certain words like monster, huge, biggest....etc....is a tactic to get more views or 'hits'. Those words are similarly used in forums to attract attention to posts(my opinion), but from my own point of view i am just as happy reading an interesting and/or informative and funny yet fishless report than one filled with BEHEMOTH BASS(insert air guitar and thrash metal soundtrack here). Although giant fish are fun to catch and look at too

LOLOLOLOLOL...yeah...stooopid homeless guy. how can something like a concurrent disorder of schizophrenia and alcohol abuse, coupled with huge cuts to services be used as an excuse to be a work shy loser!

Hi all, My folks are over from England for 10 days. My dad could care less about fishing but mum insists on going out when she is here. She has only ever fished once before in her life and that was when she visited here 3 years ago....i think we were both surprised and pleased that my love of fishing was after all a genetic phenomenon! Anyhow, i went to that little local lake i have been at all month. I have been catching litterally hundreds of small pike so thought it would be fun to put her on fish non stop with the easy technique of trolling spinners and minnows. The plan worked and we had a blast catching pike after pike with a few perch thrown in. Mum also got a nice walleye which she was very pleased about, and we left with 4 nice fat walleye too! She tells me she is definitely up for a trip to Lac Seul. I warned her that it is a pretty bumpy ride up there....lol....she said..."I have to do it so i can say i did"....love it.
