Mike the Pike

This man catching fish in a Tiller boat

Nice tattoo.Looks like a very nice river to go fishing.Too bad the fishing was slow but from the pics you seem to be happy.

Looking forward to your warmer reports

Matt good to see ya out fishing again.Very nice poisson

Actually I was inspired the first time you posted it .I did get some ideas from it 2yrs ago like where to store my rods when running the boat.

I did intall those rather cheap horizontal rod holders .I really must say I appreciate what your brother did to improve the SSV I would not have the time and skill to do all that.

After thinking it over though I decided I could get more boat with an upgrade to a Lund 1660 classic.

I will never forget my SSV 18 footer it was built solid as a rock.

To me the money was better spent on a new boat with air ride suspention pedastels ,IPS Hull ,a 44 inch livewell ,locakable rod storage,more storage ,sport trak mounting system ,no need to drill holes in the boat .position your rod holders anywhere you want,snap on cover higher sides and much much more

Out with the old in with the new.

That was an absolute pleasure to read this report Mike.What a beatiful Pike.

I look forward to taking my son on an adventure like that in the near future when he grows a little taller and stronger.

Thank you so much for putting this report together it is a pleasure to have you as a member on this board.

Your contribution is endless same goes for your writing skills .

Now how about this summer's weather what will this summer bring?

Nice report there Cliff nothing like one on one time with your daughter enjoy it now .

My Daughters have lost interest in fishing thankfully I have my son and I don't have a wife that can out fish me sometimes.

See ya again soon.

Mike I enjoyed the post and I am looking forward to August.I am glad you guys had a good time.You and Ryan are always welcome to come out and visit and do some fishing.

Dan

Thanks again Dan Ryan keeps talking about it over and over just one problem he likes your boat much more than mine now.

We need to do something about his sea sickness though it only happens to him on Lake O.

I now find other species boring to reel in man Salmon have a lot of Zipppppppp

Wow very nice Joey and Paul you will be all set for fishing in November.

Congrats you two deserve it I am looking forward to the first fishing report aboard the new vessel.

Eight minutes late. Had I known you wanted to see me so bad, I wouldn't have come!

And why are you so focused on my legs?

Actually I was looking forward to seeing you Bryan.

I just rubbed it in because you mentionned in previous reports that you have problems getting up for fishing these days arriving late.

And you did tell me in previous posts you like the time shots.

I noticed the shorts not the legs

See ya on the next trip

This year my annual fishing trip to Quinte on the May long weekend is no more so after talking to Percher he suggested I come down to Southern Ontario for some arm burning Slammin Salmon so we decided to drive the 606kms to Dan's

Ryan(My Son) and arrived Friday morning after 6 hours and 5 minutes of Driving from South Shore Montreal.

It was a little late to go out for Salmon so we went fishing for cats on the Grand River in Dunneville.

It was nice to see Bernadette again and finally meet Steve Fishmaster.

We picked up some STINKY BAIT and proceeded to the fishing grounds.

The only cat of the day caught by my Son Ryan smile tells it all he knows how to hold cats

As for me I am working on that.

Captain Percher.

Captain Perchers catch of the day my son also caught a huge bolt weighing about 5 to 6lbs

catching that was exciting.I see where people like to throw there garbage.

Day two started off like this.

This shot is for you Slowpoke this thing allows you to arrive on time.

Well Slowpoke set a new record Saturday only arriving 8 mins late this time

Mr Bermuda shorts did not stay dressed like this too long as it was rather chilly Saturday Morning.

The insults started flying about Mike the Pike so I could tell Memart and Slowpoke had missed me so much.

Thankfully Perchers boat halls a s s so we just left those boys behind.It was great to finally meet Marko

and good to see Lexxington again .Paul thanks for taking Marko out on the big Pond.

Thanks to Percher for making it happen.

Hi Ho Silver move out the way you poopy Canada Geese.

We got out Percher set up everything and we didn't have to wait long he put us on fish.

DOUBLE HEADER!!!!

This is what we came here for this is the biggest fish I have ever caught in my life.

This was the same for my son.My first Salmon since 1981 when I caught an 11lb Coho years ago

fishing with Percher's Dad.I can't thank Dan enough my son was so excited and pumped a moment that will last a lifetime in my mind.

For many of you this kind of fishing is close by so enjoy your resourse its a long drive for us.

Looking forward to our next trip to the big pond.

Oh what a day to remember.

Sunday time to go home but not without my yearly stop at BPS.

Dad can you buy this and that and this and that.................

We took our time getting home .

I made a detour off the 401 and met up with CCMT (Cliff)for a coffee at his house.

We met his daughters and little Sydney who is just a happy child and was proud to show us her

tackle box she won last year a fishing tournament.We missed out on seeing Bly cause she was away so perhaps next time.

Thanks for the Java Cliff great to see ya again.

Thanks again to Percher for putting us on some nice fish.

If you're going to drink... stay home and stir up a bunch of crap on the internet, it's what I do!!!

Now I get it you stir your drink with the swivel stick then you look for an opportunity to pick on people with Tillers.

This 5 inch suspending Husky Jerk ............

Caught this nice Walleye last weekend.

I like the clown colour also red head chartreuse and gold.

Blue turquoise is also a hit with walleye and pike black and silver for bass.

I love these lures.Good Luck

Remove all items from wife's Buffet / hutch store all lures in it until Fishing season re-opens...

 

 

When did your wife leave you Paul

I think someone mentioned a very good point.

Make sure your box has been properly dried out b-4 storing.

Very nice set up. My only question would be, wouldn't it create less turbulance flying with the nose of the canoe at the front instead of the transom?

OH no now you did it Brian you got me all excited.

Ryan and I can't wait to hook up with you guys in 2 weeks.

I want my arms to burn.

If I get a little 26 inch that would make me happy I need to experience the force of a salmon.

Last time I caught a salmon was 1981 I was 16 it was a wee coho weighing just 11lbs.

OK I must go to the gym now to train for those big brutes thanks for the action shots

Excellent looking dinner CF.Hope you enjoyed the meal.

Thanks for the pics and report.

How did he lose the rod out of his hands

Thanks for the pics soem really nice shots.

I had one it was a 1980 7.5hp Honda the dealer said it was that year.

If you need a pic just holler.

MTP

Consoles RULE eh!!!

GCD your killing me

Yes that is one of our new globemasters

 

But Peter did you happen to notice the fish in the report.

 

BE PROUD PEOPLE

But Peter did you happen to notice the fish in the report.

Nice going. I couldn't believe the amount of boats going Eastbound on the 401 Saturday morning. I can only imagine how busy it would've been there.

You should have seen the amount of boats in the narrows Saturday .What bothers me is the ones that cut in front of you these are the guys who don't get out much many others have a good sense of judgement some are just complete morons .I did let one guy know he was an idiot passing just 10 feet in front of my bow.

Nice fish,we fished Muscott bay (spelling) all weekend only ended up with a few bass and a couple of pike.

NO pike this year but my partner caught a couple of OOS Bass.

Great report mike,,,good to meet up with ya but next year we'll have to plan a dinner or something,,,glad you got a biggun,,,just remember that spot for next year!!

Ya I think I will take friday off next year as I find the 4hr drive from montreal rather long at the end of the day with the start of rush hour early on Friday's .So what will be 4 dinner .

Some very nice eyes there. Some people fish their whole lives and never catch an eye that big.You should be proud of your catch. Quinte always produces a great reports..........Old faithfull. Thanks.

if ya fish quinte enough in the fall or spring finding a double digit will come sooner than you think.

Great catch Mike, if you notice the 3rd place for pike that was Lindsey from our party, he was bumped at the last minute to forth, we had the van already for that 8 h.p Honda LOL! Shermans point was hot saturday nite, we boated 20 plus fish, all in the 2-3 pound range!

So what was 4th place I forget.

Something is wrong with this report....

 

I can't put my finger on it....

 

It's right there....

 

Oh wait...I know! You are holding the target fish in your hand!!! LOL. Great report Mike...that 9 pounder and change is a nice eye in anyones books!

 

Great pics...looks like a great time was had by all.

The start of this year is much better than last year.

Nice looking eyes Mike! I kinda miss the yellow float suit though Congrats again

Did you notice I now have a yellow hat to match the floater suit. lol

good report .. i was out on the weekend also but our group got decent numbers .. about 40 for the weekend..2 boats but size was way down from last year... we got 6 over 4lbs all the rest were smaller

You guys did well we managed about 10 in our group of 4.

Great report and pics Mike!!!

 

... and a couple beautiful fish too!!!

 

Too bad you can't catch fish like that in Quebec and have to travel all the way to Ontario eh?

 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as sleeping in the boat... it sounds kinda wimpy to me . I sleep at home in my bed!

 

... and I still wouldn't want to steer my truck from the rear bumper!!!

I can get them like that up North Glen but it requires a longer drive and your chances are fewer.Now I know Lac St-Pierre on the St-Lawrence has the numbers and size but I will have to spend more time there and must learn how to jig properly because trolling on the Larry is tough because it is infested with weeds.

Over the past 5 yrs I have become quite comfortable with the Bay of Quinte I am starting to know it well .No other place increases your odds of big walleye like the bay does.Navagation is easy unlike the Larry where I have already busted up a couple of props.GPS is making life easier so I may be back on the St-Lawrence more often.

When I get my F-150 it will be ordered with the Tiller GCD

Well thanks for the kind words and complements folks.

I look forward to Salmon fishing towards the end of May with Percher and my son.

MTP

Good to see you make a report congrats on the new PB.

I love the shot of the money being fanned

Thanks Marc by boy wants a boat of his own .One never knows luck can come our way.
