shiningtree 2007

[Terry]

well another year has come and gone...I base my years on my fishing trips to bay wolf camp shiningtree, so I have to wait another year to go again

 

 

it was a tough year for fishing conditions couldn't be worst

at times it was hard to get a bite, but when the fish turned on we did pretty well

I played with the underwater camera and it worked well turns out there are lots of old logs on all the humps we fish

 

I did 3 ATV trips to back lakes and that's always a blast, I did tip over the atv and broke the bracket that holds the folding boat, my buddy I had with me is over 65 and he survived the fall, so all is well and he trusted me to go on it again the next day

 

One morning I went down to the boat and noticed all my minnows were gone…thought maybe the door didn’t close right…yeah

 

Got more minnows and went fishing

Back for dinner and ready to go again pulled the minnow bucket out of the water and it felt real heavy

I started to open the lid and something was looking out at me…

I jumped like a school girl and trough the bucket back in the water. the guy with me thought I was nuts

I took the paddle and pushed the minnow buckets lid open and a mink/weasel or what ever it was jumps out and swims off..I whacked the water beside him as he was swimming away and he never came back the rest of the week but he was well fed that day

Saw some big cat tracks and wolf tracks and moose tracks but didn’t see any animals this year

 

But even with the wind all week the rain and the cold weather we had a good time

I always enjoy your annual report Terry. It sounds like this wasn't your favorite trip there, but I'm sure you had a great time overall judging from the photos. Thanks for posting..

Too bad the fishing wasn't what was expected,

but it's always better than sitting around the house.

 

Wish I was where you were.

Nice pics Terry. It's tough when it's all over for the year, but with each day passing it gets that much closer.

Thanks for posting Terry, I think ya did alright. And man, it could have been worse if that man eating weasel had of gnawed yer nose off or something. Hehehe

[solopaddler]

Tipping over the atv, mink eating your minnows, that's just more quality memories for the rocking chair like my grandad used to say .

Great report!

Still looks like an amazing trip, Terry. Finding that in my minnow pail would have scared the poop out of me.

Excellant report!It is absolutely gorgeous up there! Expensive but gorgeous. I may rent an apartment for a few months and stay up there one of these days. Probably be a heck of alot cheaper!
