Nice mini report great to see a senior in such fine form. Great pics Steve

WTG Man third eye ever eh there will be many more to come

Absolutely beautiful fishin report You guys are true diehards man it looked really cold and you stuck it out. Love the shots of the sunsets

Yup thats your problem 4lb mono for pike(wrong)may as well send the clippers out with the lure. I use 30lb Stren super braid with a 9lb diameter. I don't like to use leaders I have hooked into plenty of gators like you target lure hooked deep and the braid rubbing against its teeth but it managed to hang tough.If that was mono by by. If you want to use mono then use a 6 to 8 inch steel leader and upgrade to trilene extra touch mono(10lb test) from Berkley. Believe me Pike are not line shy they are the easiest fish to catch I am sure if you through out a thick nylon rope with lure the gators will bite it Now go get some gators and send us some pics will ya

WTG Mikey they are fun to catch but they are ugly congrats on your first ever carp

Beauty fish and good for you on releasing her

Excellent priceless pics always love the pics of the little ones

Well sounds like a nice trip Sonny too bad about the camera. One you should always use the wrist strap near water. I also attached a shimano laniyard to my camera and when in doubt that goes around my neck. Good luck camera shopping look on the bright side cameras are coming way down in price.

What

Thats just priceless right on eh

Well after yesterdays miserable day rain and rain and more rain I found an open window of dry weather. Was going to fish the St.Lawrence in Roy's back yard when the winds picked up big time Plan B was a little better so I decided to go to my favorite River for Pike.The winds were strong but I did manage to find areas sheltered from the wind.After I launched the boat I soon realized I should have stayed home the whole river had turned into Chocolate Milk . Not the clear water I had fished in with GlennK the week before. I went to some of my favorite Pike spots which did not produce the whole shore line was abundant brown coloured. Boat control was tough in heavy chop so I decided to head back to the marina and try some other top notch pike spots. At this point the chop was too rough for the electric motor so I just through in the anchor and we tried casting notta sniff Here are my 2 mates for the Day Ryan 9 and my Daughter Robin 11 unfortunately my 13 year daughter has lost all interest I have a new rule in the boat when casting with kids all on board must wear sunglasses or eyewear.Spent $20 on my Daughters sunglasses but better to have protection against flying treble hooks.Daughter was happy listening to Kelly Clarkson on the stereo. Fishin was tough so my son says lets troll so we did Trolling produced this little snot rocket Robin's first ever Pike.Caught on a bright pink Rapala X-rap Probably the only thing you can see in the chocolate milk. This weather has just turned the river into liquid poop.What a crappy spring. While my red neck friend in Alabama enjoys 81F surface temps we registered a balmy 58F. That was it one little snot rocket but my girl was happy. Very long house boat something like the ones on Lake Temagami. Thats me old skunk face. On the way back we were listening to Kiss Shout it out Loud. They were singing there version Charmin.We had a good laugh. After a long day on the water why not enjoy a good Poutine and thats what the little ones ate right down to last Frie. Kids were checking out this guy while I packed up the boat. Fishing was crap weather was crap but we had some great family time together. Mike the Pike.

Excellent report and it looks like you guys ate well

site is slow everything else is super fast.

I am with Bill good old Muskol but remember no deodorant no scented soaps or shampoos this will make one hell of a difference.

So Brian did you buy the Crestliner
