Mike the Pike

At this point who knows if it will be cabelas or Basspro .

I know that when I drive North on the Laurentian autoroute Highway 15 I see a sign around Blainville indicating that Basspro is coming to Quebec.

But we also here Cabelas may be on its way .I want it because my current outdoor stores do not provide enough selection.

For now I have good old cousin Percher who picks me up what I need at Basspro when we meet up in Quinte I have to say Dan is really good to me.

Crap happens won't be long the fishing reports will fade away during the transition period then the hockey rants will start.

I don't blame those leaf fans one bit they have no idea what the Stanley cup looks like

Excellent recap of the year man thanks for taking some time to put it all together.

Beautiful

Thanks for that Simon man it looks cold up there .

You should consider feeding those fish for one there too small too white if that doesn't work get some dinamite and launch the boat after you get rid of the ice

Mice recap of your year I love the shot of the little guys gathered around the bucket

There were at least tow muskies caught this fall in the BOQ, both showcased on quintefishing.com

A nice 42 incher was caught at night recently.

I always enjoy your diehard reports Eric .

Keep em coming it seems to take the focus off the ugly rants when the transition period takes

place from soft water to hard water.

Nice mixed bag of species.

I can't take little tinny's out anymore because I flip them really well and it woud be very cold at this time of year.

MTP

Nice looking chuncy specs.

Did you break the ice to make your square hole in the ice or did you use a chainsaw.

Ya I know just got a 2009 Malibu so what happens to my car if GM goes belly up.

No parts no dealers the economic spin off would be devastating.

I hope the big 3 have a plan its time to clean up shop.

Scary

Happy 39th Birthday Lew

I hope you catch a 60 inch Muskie next year.

See ya in Lakair.

MTP

Looks like a great year bud thanks for taking the time to put all that together.

I wouldn't mind meeting up with you on the Ottawa river this winter.

Perhaps we could have a little ice fishing get together with the members in your area.

Looking forward to your winter reports.

MTP

Badger you are diehard for sure thanks for your many successfull reports this year in Quinte.

That is why my tiller boat is away I can't imagine all that ice on my face it could snap my neck.

So is it over ?Could we see a new PB on the Horizon.

You are one tough

Wow Ben thanks for taking the time to put that together.

I really like the shot of young Julia priceless happy smile she must have been thrilled and will talk about this for years to come.

Looking forward to next years reports

Wow Steve thanks for posting that excellent report.

Do you ever catch anything small.

I only dream of catching fish like that.

Need more time

Excellent Good luck to you out west

Swedish pimple

OMG I am so looking forward too ice like that.

I am not too too jealous after all Badgershark had more ice thatn that on his windshield in his boat this weekend.

Now go back and catch us some fish Simon

Once again Mike thanks for taking the time to write up that excellent report.

That is what I call chrome BLING BLING

BTW someone needs new gloves lol

Well with some of you posting your year in review I thought I would give it a whirl.

This was a tough year for me If I fished out of others boats I seemed to find the fish but

if I was in my boat I had a tough time my son however found a way to slime the boat time

after time.

2 species I have never caught will have to wait until next year.

I am yet to catch my first Lake trout (My son knows how to do that).

Muskie was not to be this year but I did get my first follow.

New species I caught a shad pretty big one too.

Overall it was a good year except for the numerous times getting chased off the water

by multiple thunderstorms.

Although my year was slow my last trip to Quinte made up for the lack of fish

Looking forward to next season and the Hard water.

Here are some pics from this year.

If the fish are not biting build a snowman.

My boy's first Pike

Finally skated on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa.

# generations ice fishing my Dad Myself and my son.

Spring came and I bid my farewell to this boat which served me well for 4 yrs

An 18ft Lund SSV with Honda 50hp barebones Aluminium.

I traded her in and bought a new Lund 1660 Classic but I did keep my Honda from the SSV.

Spring arrived and I finally got my new boat I started sleeping better lol.

The Kiwanis fishing Tournament Bay of Quinte first weekend of May.

A shot of good friend GlennK in a tournament we placed 4th with a Grand Slam Pike ,walleye &Perch.

Dink walleye May 24 weekend in Quinte.

Now you all won't ever forget this pic I may actually attempt to hold one with my hand next year.

My Dad in Quinte one long skinny pike.

A shad

July came and Percher(34.72)invited us to Quinte with Fishindevil.

Junior had a great weekend and he told his mom we ate fish because of him.

Fishindevil and Percher in the old boat.

I caught some bait.

Little boy caught 8 walleyes to my one bait fish.

Off to Percher's in July I had my chance for a salmon and well it got away.My son with his first ever

salmon 6lbs.

Looking forward to next year.Mike The Pike

Wow thats pretty cool

Like to see ya go fishing in a kilt

Coming from a scottish background I really enjoyed that and have always loved the music from the bag pipes.

My grandmother came from scotland to Canada in 1929 she is 88 yrs old today she is all there 100% and a true baseball fan.

She now lives in Northbay and lost her Scottish accent years ago.

Thanks Bly for posting that

Nice pics and reports boys! Apparently we will allow just about anyone into our cottage!!!!! Gonna have talk to the lads about that!

Terry, you can now officially pass the sheepy torch to MTP!

HH

Hey Joe I was also passed the Walleye torch too

Excellent report Wayne looks like you boyz had some laughs.

Thanks for taking that pic of me not too often I get to see my boat up on plane.

As for the Darth Vader mask worth every penny it kept me warm and I did not feel any stinging rain

saturday when running flat out.When I was with Percher (I mean 34.72)the rain really hurts the face at 40 plusMPH.

Dano(Buddy Holly ) you sleep too much .Terry congrats no stinking sheepy this year.2 of them found there way into my boat.

Gettin up early does pay off

Good to see you reporting Dan why is it the fish look so big in your arms and so little in Brian's arms

your both close in size eh

Nice pics Dan I am glad you have a bigger boat now so you can take your 2 body guards fishing with you.

Is it really all over now.

So sad I just took everthing out of the boat tonight she will be going for winter storage this week

Yes they work well my brother in law has one and is happy with it.

Great report Mike. Glad you had a good (and safe) trip. You have some nice fish there. I know that sheepies are not what you were after but they still are a lot of fun to catch aren't they?

 

Thanks for sharing.

Yes Roy they do give quite the tug and run they just look so ugly and smell like dirty socks.

Sometimes when the fishing is slow it gets the blood pumping that is good on a cold November day.

Well thanks for the kind words folks.

MTP

Way to go Mike! Sorry we didn't get a chance to cross paths with you. I was trying to watch out for you guys, and I am sure we past each other on the water. We ( Skeeter and myself ) did not have as good of luck as you guys, but we did manage to pick up a couple -the small one was just over 2 lbs ( but really fat ) and the larger one was 6.6 lbs.

 

Don

Hey Don I looked for you guys Skeeter sent me a pic of his new boat but I could not spot you.

I threw off quite a few people saturday I opted for my black Mustang jacket and full rain gear.

No big bird suit.

BTW congrats on getting rid of the three year curse the skunk is finally gone . I was skunked last year so it felt good to land some decent fish..Have not had a double digit since 2006
