West Arm

[Whopper]

Just spent four days camping at Lakair and fishing the West Arm area of Lake Nipissing. Had a great time at Kevin & Leslie's place, top notch I tell ya. Spent the long weekend with some good people, Lew, Raf, JP, Cory & Heather, the whole Mistyriver family, Don & Ruth. Even had a visit from TJ & Monique.

 

Lew had posted last week on the state of affairs on the water ways and I'm a little disappointed in the behavior of other boaters, especially other so called fisherman on the West Arm, more than just a couple times had people run way to close to my boat and fishing area. The icing on the cake was a couple other fisherman running over a buoy marker I had sent out for a reference point for a drift and the final straw was idiot that thought it was alright to circle the buoy and try to take it out of the water until I yelled at him to leave it the f.... alone. I really don't understand what this guy was thinking??? I wonder if the same guy would have went out of his way to pick up a piece of trash?

 

Fishing was a little slow but picked up on our last day.

I know how to remedy your problem beginning the morning of September 29. Bring fresh, powerful line and hold on tight.

 

Your girlfriend has probably added about 4 pounds or so by now.

 

Bring your sauce.

 

One lake. Only two boats.

[Daplumma]

Lose your camera Phil??I think Dawg and I got most of the fish out of the west arm in June.I was surprised they let you back into Canada after last year!

Geez Phil ... how many times do I have to apologize for trying to take the dumb buoy? I thought you were done with it as you hadn't caught anything anyways.

Hey Phil, sorry you didn't have more fun on the water, but I'm guessing you had a good time over all, especially with all the great people there to keep you company. How did your son like it? I had hoped to make it up Sat. or Sun but due to vehicle issues and having a house guest I just couldn't get up there Hopefully I'll see you in June.

 

Oh ya, where are the pics???

yeah but even with the idiots, four days of fishing with good friends can't be beat

[Whopper]

Sorry folks about the no pic report, I will post another with fish porn for sure.

 

Just to set the record straight my son and I had a GREAT time and we did catch some fish. I didn't let the idiots that don't respect other people on the water spoil our visit. I was just surprised of things that I witnessed came from other so called sportsman.

 

Again I appologize on misleading anyone into thinking we didn't have a good time because we had a great trip and will probably return in the future.

 

Cheers

Cory and Heather !!!...Gawd its been ages...if you're lurking...You've been missed...

 

Had the same sort of thing happen at Rice Lake Phil...First run after positioning our marker some yo-yo anchors right beside it...we pulled up close to retreive it when the guy asks..."do you boys catch much around here?"...I replied "we do when some sum na B*TCH doesn't park near our marker...I'm about ready to give him a hit up the side of the head with our paddle when my son yells "DAD...NO!!!"...They took off like they were on a jet ski...LOL
