A buddy & I were on Lake Huron at the Hydro Plant when the sky started to get dark, I mentioned we are going to be heading in & we hear over the Hydro Plant PA system that a severe weather watch has been issued & all outside contractor were to stop work & head inside, we have to head north & then south east to get to the Ramp we are almost ready to turn for shore & the temperature drops 5 or 10 degrees, we make it to shore pack up & head for home, the storm is just behind us all the way home, I open up the shed backed the boat in & as I get out of the Van the hail starts, very glad we didn't get caught in that out on the Lake, SBK

Congrats on your Successful outing now get out there & Catch us a huge Salmon, if you can lol SBK

I was to go fishing with a buddy in his boat but his son came home & wanted to go so I said great I'll take my boat also, Not willing to take my Skeeter to an in land lake since I just had it in Lake Huron, I took the 14' Aluminum out for the 1st time since last May I think, I might have to take it out more, Water temperature was 78 to 80 degree's, Started with a Bassmagnet 5" Swim bait, 1st Cast Smallie, lost 2 Pike over the next 10 minutes, switch to a BooYah Spinnerbait & caught 4 Pike between 16" & 31", then a Largie, back for another drift & 2 more Pike plus I lost 3 more, off to the other end of the lake to a patch of weeds the size of a house, 1st cast to the west side a largie, something hit my blades on the Spinnerbait on the south side, Smallie on the east side & a Pike on the North side, I've caught some decent sized Pike here in the past, her are a few pictures my biggest was 31" & Randy's biggest was 29", only 1 picture of his catch we were to far away to be taking pictures all afternoon, not to bad of a day for leaving home a 2pm & fishing from 2:45 until 8:30, sorry Team #10 but no upgrades, back at it this afternoon & evening. What a beautiful evening to be out & very peaceful fishing alone. too short of notice to find any one to go. SBK Randy had this 1 when I caught up to him about 8pm

Looks like one more spot get over there & Sign up SBK

I thought Bill Mason could handle a canoe WOW SBK

I think last year Team #1 thought they had it all rapped up just saying look what Team #7 did to them lol SBK KEEP SIGNING up folks & let the fun continue FISH ON

There were kids there but they didn't catch a legal Pike 24" minimum SBK

Looks like Team 8 is 4th & way behind our bonus points have been sent approved for some of our entries, join up & have fun Trash Talking is aloud lol SBK

4 more are ready to sign up lets keep the teams even, 6 more needed, you might be lucky enough to end up on our Team, Go Team #10 SIZE MATTERS lol SBK

WHEN WE HEADED HOME SATURDAY AT 7:30PM THERE WAS ONLY 1 24" PIKE ENTERED IN THE DERBY, only 3 Pike entered & some one said over 400 fisherman, a 30+" was second & a 36+" was 1st, there were no kids entered so they made a draw, we had 7 under 22" Saturday & 3 under 22" on Sunday plus a catfish,2 Smallies & 1 Walleye, toughest fishing I've had on Belwood, but it was a good fund raiser for the Lion's SBK

Congrats that is awesome SBK

Great report & nice to see the kids were involved SBK

Nice, Great report, always nice to get a variety of species, especially when some of them are Huge SBK

Congrats on your PB, some real pigs there also SBK

We are hoping to hook a few of the followers this year, usually find some nice ones just can't get them to bite & I'm not into live bait, I started going there in the late 80's fishing out of a canoe, I've had problem's with Jet Skiers in the past but nothing a Daredevil past the ear doesn't fix lol, we usually see the OPP & a CO out checking boats for Safety Equipment, Outdoor Card, Booze etc. SBK

We planned on travelling to a lake about 1.5 hrs away until we saw what the weather network was calling for & man did they hit it on the head, started out grey skies & not a bad temperature, drove 20 minutes & the closer we got to the lake the darker it got, as we launch (3 Boats 4 Guys & 1 Wife) the rain starts & thunder's in the distance, we have a lot of follows but no takers then finally on the jerk paauussseeee Jerk Paauuusssseeeee wham a 20+ inch Pike then another then more follows, switch to a 5" Swim Bait a few more Small Pike but just our boat so far, then we are going along a long under water point & wham my partner gets a solid hit & he says it doesn't feel like a Pike, 24" Walleye on the Swim bait, he ended up with 1 LM Bass, 2 Rock Bass, half a dozen Pike & 1 Walleye all released & I ended up with 7 or 8 Pike with the biggest being 28", we only had to get off the Water once because I swear the storm was right beside us, the other boats only got 1 Pike, hopefully some of these tactics work at the Belwood Pike Derby this weekend Tight Lines SBK

Good Karma & congrats for passing it on SBK

Congrats on the longest ever SBK
