Welcome back.....but golf?! oh well each to their own. Its like that fishig show skins and fins....i just dont get it how ...or why would you want to stop fishing to go swing a club? especially in some of the locations they get to fish in.....

Big brookies and summer weather....cant beat that. Not that i'd know as i've never caught a brookie and were still waiting for summer here...lol. Good job guys!

Top stuff Anders.....thats some good fishin'. I envy you that you get to go out with your Pa, mine is 5000 miles away and is not that into fishing even when he does visit....lol. I forgot my tourney sign the other day.....did not help...no big uns like yours, i'll be heading up Lac Seul any time now so should get some beasts up there. Great report man.....good to see he Northern contigent holding our own

HAHAHA....your an entertaining chappie Glen...good one! Great fish there BTW...real nice laker. I cant wait to get my first musky this year, had two invites from some hardcore Muskyhunters who are gonna show me the ropes so to speak.... once again....nice trout!

Believe it or not my fishing time has been cut in half this year due to the arrival of our baby Jack...would not change backthough.....its all good! I was panicking that i'd get a BIG walleye, i left my OFC TOURNY sign in the truck Fun yes.....not as fun as the 'little lake' you play on though...still waiting for that call Ben Kinda funny....lol....when its not me! FFS JB....i cant believe you're still walterless...come on bud...go get one... If i tell ya i'd have to kill ya...or should i say...if i tell ya...Lew would kill ME!....dont worry...i know you was JKing Might be for you Anders...we had to work like donkeys to get those.....but it will happen soon.....the freakin weather is still sooooo cold....warmin' up a bit now though

Hi all, Got the call at about 9am from Lew...."wanna go fishing at my cabin today?".........like I always say when asked if i wanna go fishing...."are there bubbles when a duck farts?" So after getting a few things done, i got to Lew's about an hour late at 1pm, he was gracious about my lateness, but gave me some stick about it....lol...oooops. Picked up Lew's dad Alex, got some minnows and headed an hour north of Dryden to the small lake where his cabin is located. Access is a small trail through the bush to where his boat is stashed on the shore, then a short 1/2 mile across the lake to his cabin. Good fun just getting into some of these places...and easier since Lew got his new Arctic Cat 4x4, especially not having to carry the outboard! GOT THERE AROUND 2PM SHORT TRAIL THROUGH THE BUSH THEN HALF MILE ACROSS THE LAKE....GOOD FUN JUST GETTING THERE! Lew had been talking up his cabin lake for a while now and was eager for me to come up, i was eager to go too. He said that there were large numbers of walleye in here, and whilst they generally didn’t get much bigger than 24 inches, it was often difficult to get eaters as they always threw any fish over 18 inches back. . I was pumped......and we did not waste any time and got fishing. We all started off using beetlespins (which is becoming a favourite of mine all over again) with white jigs and white twister tails tipped with minnows. Lew was saying that they only ever used white twister tails as bait and rarely used minnows as they did not produce as well on this lake, but he had been out the weekend before and minnows were out fishing the artificial...so we took 3 dozen with us, just in case. I got into the first fish, a pike, then Lew got into a nice 18` inch walleye. We trolled around that spot for an hour but were just catching pike...nearly every cast! 1ST PIKE OF AROUND 40 THAT DAY THEN LEW GOT INTO THE FIRST WALTER Because we were only catching pike in that spot, we started to explore the rest of the lake, same result, PIKE....PIKE....and MORE PIKE. It was getting ridiculous, every cast for around 3 or 4 hours. 2ND SNOT ROCKET BONANZA I`VE HAD IN A WEEK! We decided to head back to where we caught the first and only walleye of the day at around 7pm. We were down to our last few minnows thanks to the pike, and Lew and his dad were both mystified at the results so far, they both said this had been the toughest day they had ever had since they owned the cabin....i think they’ve had it for 30 years or so. I was convinced that the original spot would produce based on the premise that over the last week I’ve been fishing nearly every day, whether in front of our house or elsewhere, and every time the bite did not really start until 7 or 8pm. Well the walters came out to play and we limited out in about an hour or so, throwing back at least 4 that were over 18 inches. It was funny to Lew and myself, but his dad just couldn’t get a walleye yesterday, must have been frustrating for him as we were pulling them in consistently, whilst he was looking after all the pike in the vicinity...lol...i laugh but its happened to all of us. We would have got a lot more and quicker if we hadn’t run out of minnows, as the fish just were not hitting and holding on without at least a chunk on the hook with the twister grub. At one point we cut a half digested shiner a pike coughed up into 3 tiny chunks(one for each of us) and used that, as soon as we added that we caught more walleye...lol..weird. Anyhooo, we got a nice stringer full of very chunky healthy walleye, had a great day out in the freezing weather of May and caught a lot of fish...cant ask for more. sorry bout the pics....my camera is pooched...dropped it on the kitchen floor BITE STARTED AROUND 7PM LOTS OF NICE CHUNKY EATERS THREW BACK A FEW OVER 18 INCHES DID NOT TAKE LONG (once the bite started) TO GET OUR LIMIT AND GET OUT BEFORE DARK

Congatulations!

Great report, i have to admit i was thinking i would have caught and used some sucker meat for bait, if not fishing nearby that waterfall.

Another perfect day out there Cliff. I'm seeing a lot of younger folk in the posts recently, which is fantastic, your girl certainly loves to fish, i just hope my boy is in to it as much...that would be great. Thanks for posting.

Another good day out there for ya Bruce, like Jaques said...fishing is just the best!

Thats great, my 2 favourite species to catch right there! Awesome guys...thanks for posting....lol...i'm a wee bit jeeeeelous now

Congrats to you and the missus Joonmoon, looks like a very happy 10th anniversary!

Brilliant post Solo! That is very special, i cnt wait to hear my baby boy say...."no, lets go catch fish" That pic of your daughter standing by the water is really good! So glad you left the hockey bit till the end....lol....i cant stand the game.......iv'e tried to like it...but its just not working. Thanks for posting.

Yup, time...lots of it....lol. I'm just doing up a report from yesterday, and it took all day...but we found dem 'eyes...real nice ones. Lew was dissappointed as we were fishing at his cabin which he was keen to show me, since the fishing can be spectacular. He said the fishing that day was the worst he had ever had, I on the other hand had no complaints. YUP...time for another new camera, i dropped it on the kitchen floor, aint been the same since , and yup it is freezing up here, I had my down filled parka and thermal underwear on yesterday in the boat , and boy was i glad i did. For chrissakes, i was wearing the same clothing i wear icefishing! Amen to that solo, that is definitely a plus, bought a can of deep woods a month ago ready for the vampires, but aint used it yet.

Hi all, got out to a little lake 10 minutes from town with lew. This Lake holds some awesome walleye, my last fish out of there was a 28" last October. We hit the lake around 3pm and right off the bat lew was into a little pike, then i got one, then we were catching non stop for 3 hours, we had 4 dozen minnows and left the lake with only 6 in the bucket.....and we only caught 2 walleye an hour before we left, we must have got at least 30 pike between us. I started filming thinking we might get a couple, but gave up after it became apparent you can only film the same thing 2 or 3 times before its pointless....lol...here's a clip so you get an idea of the size of pike we were catching. ALL PIKE WERE AROUND 15"-25" WE GOT A COUPLE OF WALTERS ALONG A WINDSWEPT WEEDLINE We were after walleye and used various methods, jigs, beetlespins, slip bobber, X-raps, walleye spinners. Lake is only 30' deep max....fish were mostly suspended at 10' in average 15' of water. Things should start to picjk up in this lake when summer finally decides to put in an appearance up here....it was colder than October out there!

Great stuff Marty, looks like they all had a blast, perfect day!

Great report Bruce, looks like those fish gave a good battle. I was fishing on Lake Erie about 6 years ago and we caught one of those Bowfin things...at least it looked similar.....do they also call them 'Dogfish'?

Definitely not bad for a couple of hours. Good report. Cheers.

Thats preety cool to have seen them the week before hach a plan to get them another day, and watch a plan come together, gotta love it when that happens. Good job on some really nice fish.

Brilliant! really cute girl, and what a job she did on those carp...Awesome.

Oh yeah!.....nice fish, reminds me of sea bass fishing back in England...thanks for posting.

Wow...thats a slab.....good schtufff.
