Blue Lk

GOOD on Ya Simon "Take them with you when they are young,& they will take you when you are old." Looks like it was a GREAT DAY?

My GF has 4 horses & there is allways hay in the pasture,she also has 100+ acres with lots of deer.We have never seen the deer eat any hay.We see deer allmost daily but never near the hay. The hay is mainly Timothy,I can't comment on Alfafa.

RIBEYE for me,Montreal steak spice,as far as doneness "just rip off the horns,wipe it's ass & ride er in"

My uncle tried it & died too,but he was laying in the driveway,licking his nuts when my aunt backed over him with her car.

I might have spoke 1 day too soon,Eagle Lk is singing & popping this morning

Simon,have you heard the ice on the "Goon" by your place "singing or groaning" as this cold weather makes more ice? My GF's place is about 200m from Little Neck bay on Eagle Lk & I haven't heard anything this year,I know we have a very heavy snow cover, but normally this weather would make the lake "sing",esp on these very still,cold nights.

I'm thinking we won't have good ice anywhere in this neck of the woods,tooooo much sno on thin ice = lots of slush,air holes,unsafe conditions etc.Even -40 C wont make up for all that sno. The lake in front of my place is still wide open(Blue Lk),might have good ice if it gets cold enuf before the next big sno event.

What will he do with all his free time now?Fish?

Good on ya,Simon.I put my boats away last month.Who knew we were going to have such a nice fall? By the way I know Swen,& your right,he is a good guy.Didn't he have a cabin on Eagle?

My whole house is my "Man Cave",I live alone,but my fav spot has to be my porch area. The best part is the veiw

Perhaps we shud get together & car pool down there.We could show those guys from the south how northern fisherman catch them. Well you could show them how to fish & I could show them how to drink. I'm just kidding,great post,THX for shareing.

That is incredible,I've lived in this area all my 50+ yrs & have never heard of anybody hooking a LM, Good on you.

That's a long way from the shores of Wabigoon Lk,great pics. Wpg is becoming the crime city of Canada,sorry about your vehicle.

The lake I live on contains trout & smallmouth bass,also some very large walleye.The trout & smallmouth allways go back into the lake regardless of size,the walleye go back because we catch them so rarely that I would like to see that fishery improve. I am very lucky to to know of a small lake that is less than 1/2 hr from home & has never let me down yet.I keep enuf(walleye) to cook up that day,I like them fresh.I never put any in the freezer.I prefer the smaller ones(under 18 in).We eat walleye about once a week.I see no point in taking home a limit everytime if it is more than needed.

Me & my 10 yr old GrSon had a great day on the water lasy week

WELL SAID!

I live on the lake & sometimes watch people trying to unsnag their lines from my waterline,I say nothing(as stated several times in this thread,I do not own the water) I am also a fisherman,but I would give it up before I fished somebodys dock.Yes they hold fish,but I prefer to find my own natural structure.

Regarding the 40% discount,I am sure there are lots of camps that will be in the same "ball park" during that time period(mid Aug/mid Sept).They are not that busy at that time & like to fill their empty cabins.Phone around if you are interested in coming up this way. Lac Seul is another great fishery and there are lots of resorts at both ends of the lake,Sioux Lookout & Ear Fall.This a beautifull area,often overlooked by fisherman from southern Ont. I would also like to add that I think the most reliable reveiws come from clients,not self serving resort owners.You can check out most resorts on the many fishing forums to be found on the web.The really good ones don't blow their own horns(so to speak)but let satisfied customers speak for them. IMHO

Nice fish.Man your GF has BIG hands.

My GF & I went to one of my favorite little lakes today. We didn't get on the water till 12.00,& by 1.00 we were on our way back to the landing with a limit of "eatin size" walleye.In less than an hour we must have caught 30 fish.Nothing big but so much fun,I love this lake.

Great report & video Simon,I know that wasn't the Goon,I,m guessing Thunder. I thought you might have been in the Walleye Masters this past weekend.With your talent,you might have brought home the BIG $$$.

Those old all metal fridges make great smokers & they are getting very hard to find,it's big enuf to smoke just about anything,a whole turkey,big ham & a lot of homemade sausage,you are a lucky man.

Ain't it great to be a "Northerner"Simon? I love those type of adventures

Sorry Goys,I just had to add this

GF & I went to a small lake today where I keep a 12ft stashed,We allways catch lots of these little pan sized fish,sometimes 1 or 2 bigger but allways get more than enough for a fish fry.In the 3 or 4 yrs I have been going to this lake we have only shared the lake about 3 times.It takes me about 1/2 hour from home,some hwy some old logging road.The lake is small so I use my electric,easy to get to the boat with my quad.
