You are an inspiration! Must get into the remote places more often, just need to find someone up for it round here.

Great report. I gotta say we have some talented writers here on OFC! Great read! If you are heading all the way across Canada be sure to drop by, it gets lonely up here in the North….lol! Not sure if you need this or whether it helps but I agree with Galliie, photo bucket works great with large size pics, I did a little video ( I always do) a while back on how to use it.

My pleasure man! I have never encountered a muskie in the area I fish, I know they are plentiful around the Sioux Lookout end of the lake (East) but I'm fishing South Central area.

Thanks man, t is nice to get feedback, very muchly appreciated! LOL…I know, I have to make it up to Roloff on Sunday with a trip to our shore fishing spot and throw him his 'Kong' toy for an hour or so. Thanks HH! It is insane some days, that day was non stop fun….hard to get bored on a day like that.

WOW…..fantastic job Mike…those pike are huge! Thanks for taking the time…great read.

Hi all, Got out to Lac Seul with my buddy Al and his kid Kris, we also had their new puppy Chevy along, very, very sweet Lab/Golden Retriever cross. Roloff had to stay home because of this but i'm sure it won't be long before they are introduced and become friends. Fishing was good and so was Kris's reaction to catching big walleye, he has caught them before but the first fish landed of the day was his biggest by a long way and his reaction to it was special in itself….Lac Seul is a MAGICAL place. Fish were at 17' - 25' FOW, jigs and minnows vertically jigged. Fish would turn on and off like someone flicked a switch so we moved around a bit but our original spot was the most productive all morning.

Keep up the awesome reports Mike….whoever it is is just insanely jealous…like me…..I just wish you all the best!

So sorry for your loss Wayne, speechless and teary eyed……what an amazing girl that kid of yours.

Great day on the lake, perfect in fact by the looks of the pictures!

LOL...I have been going there for over 20 years now, believe me, the fishing is painful. Anyway, it was a nice break from my norm, and I love how my wife finds it hard to understand how I manage to not fish for 2 weeks without going insane, just makes me laugh at how bad a fishing addict she thinks (knows) I am!

Hi all, Was in France in the Perigord region for a couple weeks this month. did not fish for the whole time we were there but did get out on the river in a canoe with the family.....GOOD TIMES!

Yup, those pesky bloody limeys are everywhere! Thanks Blizz, was a hoot for sure. Yup, they sure do grow quick.

Hi all, Got back from holiday last week and it was straight back to work, this was particularly hard for Jack as he had gotten used to having his mum and my full attention for 2 weeks straight only for us to pretty much abandon him at the sitters most days last week. So the day before yesterday we got a chance to spend some time together on my day off. We walked a portage into a lake I have been wanting to check out but had never got around to before. Jack was very excited about the "secret lake", and he has been chattering about our adventure for the past 2 days, needless to say fun was had!

I was thinking the same….that is damn fast for a 20hp with all your other calculations considered.

Thanks for posting Bassman, I'm in the same boat as you so to speak…..interesting reading.

Did not measure as it was not gonna beat Jack's standing PB of 28.5". I'd guess it was around the 25" to 27" mark. Yup…gonna need a bigger boat soon enough, my wife is already onboard with that, excuse the pun….next year perhaps…just not sure if I want consul or tiller, will probably go Yamaha 60- 90 4 stroke whichever way I go. My pleasure NewHips, Jack does not mind me sharing either, I asked him if he minded the videos being on youtube for public to see and he looked at me like I'd asked a dumb question and replied "NO!" I told him he was pretty famous…he replied "COOOL!" with a big smile. LOL…he is getting better, but he is a real take it or leave it type of fisherman, but hopefully more catches like this will spark some more enthusiasm for the sport, meantime it's always a hoot with him in the boat. Thanks SHP, not back for a young lad eh? LOL…he is, him and Gramps have been re-living that one often over the last few days. Priceless is right, would love to have some vids from my childhood. Hopefully he will have these long after i'm gone to show his grandkids etc…etc... Thanks TJ!

Thanks, he was soooooo proud of himself afterwards, so was I…just a little bit though Thanks Sinker, memories to treasure…backed up on cards, external hard rives, usb keys, you know…just to be sure. Thanks Simon, yup, definitely extra special with gramps. LOL…he is the most take it or leave it fisherman I know, he really just likes being in the boat, but a few more moments like these and he might get more into it, it's just tough to get him to pick up the rod, way too many fun things to do in the boat. Thanks Jeff! I had not really thought about "3 generations' until you mentioned it. That sucks…..did you manage to sort it out? Thanks Joey! I have been passing on the messages from everyone and he has a 'widescreen' grin going on when I do.

Hi all, He likes his new St. Croix /Shimano combo.

Hi all, Went out to a really small pothole of a lake just up the road from us with my wife and kid. This lake is an amazing numbers lake and I have been taking my son here since he could crawl in my efforts to engage him in fishing because the action is fast and furious with pike, walleye, perch and the occasional bass. A few people live on this lake and a few locals fish it and so it does get fishing pressure, for that reason I limit myself to ZERO fish on this lake, catch and release only. Was pretty impressed that my wife was pulling walleye out of the thick cabbage weed on a fire tiger Fox Vibrax spinner...WTG! Also proud that my son is getting more comfortable handling fish now too. Great way to spend an hour or so after work with the family.

LOLOL. Congrats Rick!

Don't people jig Erie? I mean the walleye are there…why not jig for them? I went out on erie a few years back and I'm not bothered if I ever go trolling again to be honest, I agree with Mr. Simon 100% about that style of fishing. Fantastic video too, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks John, you don't need adopting…you live in the great white north too! Thanks Drew….its easy cuz I love all of it too! lol…thanks Lew…I think it's a tie on who has the most fun. Yes, Lac Seul is a special place, I have been spoiled for life being able to fish it whenever I please. LOLOLOL….he would have been on his way to you if you'd asked me that 2 years ago….they take a while to calm down, but now he has….HE AINT GOIN NOWHERE! Thanks, yeah….he aint to much into fishing, take it or leave it, so we had to get busy doing other stuff too. Thanks Dempsey…I appreciate the editing feedback, nice for the creative element to be recognized…a long way to go and lots to learn…but it is fun when I have the time.

Thanks for the replies guys! Sorry it took so long to respond, got my father in-law visiting. My pleasure Tomcat, it makes me happy to know people enjoy these posts and pictures, I certainly get a kick from participating in them and recording them. Thanks for the feedback, always appreciated. Yah, We are wanting to try and take a tent out to that beach this year and camp over night….bug spray not optional….lol. LOL…yeah its hardly a chore for me is it. He absolutely loves everything outdoorsy. We have just finished the hatch in his army worm 'aquarium'….brown fuzzy moths everywhere in the house…but very cool to watch the whole life cycle. Lol…I was wondering when someone would catch that, just so you know….he rolls in any poop he finds, deer, horse, dog and even people poo once…..so not so classy after all….lol. Yeah, I love our summer outings. These videos are great for me to watch on night shifts when I am missing my little guy. maybe that's why they call it 'God's country'….or maybe because its only God and blackflies that live here….lol.

X2 I also have a 62s…..great little unit, more features than i'll ever use. They come with next to no instructions….so Youtube is your friend!
