Leecher Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Well guys, since today was my day off, the plan was for me to get out onto the hard water and spend some quality time teasing the fish Last night's forecast didn't look to promising.... they were calling for 5-10cm of snow overnight and turning to freezing rain early morning and then rain..... let just say I got up later than usual and did not target my favorite lake for pickeral, instead went to Casino Lac Leamy and had a lot of fun Temperature was -2C, heavy overcast and looked like the rain was going to come down but that did not happen Instead as soon as I got up, had a coffee and started preparing my fishing gear for this outing. Left home at 9:45am, got to the lake at around 10:00am and not a soul to be seen.... had the lake to myself and was real happy about that. Once I arrived, snapped a pic of the casino, where I was fishing and the setup I had. Here are the pics: First the Casino Then where I was fishing, in front of a creek, leading to the Gatineau river in 10 - 15 fow on a drop off over a weed bed and last my setup.... jigging rod, the manual 6" auger and the rest of the gear Just could not ask for more.... I managed to catch a few small perch and had a lot of hits & misses throughout my stay. Had a huge fish hit my jigging lure out of nowhere and lost it near the hole.... did not see what it was but figured it was a pike, with the runs and head shake it gave. All in all caught 4 perch and lost a snot rocket near the hole. Had a great time and at 2:30pm call it a day, had to get back home to prepare diner. All fish were CPR'd.... here is the rest of the pics First perch Second one Third and fourth Hope you enjoy Leechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotel is right beside the casino but looks on top of it.... I was at the opposite side of the lake on the north side. Had a peaceful time today.... not a soul to be seen but just wish that I could move the 50 (highway) dawn noise from traffic It's the only noise other than the birds I could hear from where I was LOL Yeah that bigger fish caught me be surprise and was not keeping a tight line.... that is how it got away and it sure brough excitement and got me to stay a little longer. real nice to get out on warm days and put a few on the ice . too bad that big mystery fish got loose!! damn!~you know he's there ,,, get 'im next time !! ps. hands fine , thanks.

limeyangler Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Nice one Jacques, I am amazed those perch you catch hit such large baits, ours up here will occasionally do that, but they are more often than not really finnicky. I am also a big fan of those 'fishfry' your using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also a big fan of those 'fishfry' your using. Thanks Simon.... I'm amazed too. So small and yet, can swallow the fish fry including the treble hook The thing is that I'm not targeting them and somehow catch them anyway.... go figure When I do target them, I usually rig a small jig head tipped with Gulp fish fry.... real deadly combination Talk about the fry.... started to use it this season and I'm a big fan also..... that stuff is potent and really works wonders!! Hey Jacques....nice "fishfry" mon chum ....Enjoyed your report....when are you coming out here for some Pike and Walleye action?? Thanks Steve.... don't know but will have to be soon.... and when I do, would like to be out all day I just might take another day off next week and will call you.

Mike the Pike Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Well Jacques great mini report unfortunately I won't have to to hook up with you and the gang on the ice this year Finishing off my garage has been rather time consuming.So perhaps this summer we can hook up. Must be nice to leave home and be on the water in only 15 mins wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be nice to leave home and be on the water in only 15 mins wow. Thanks Mike.... I certainly understand the hard work that is involved in undertaking home renovations. Hope that you can finish the project and enjoy the end results. As for hard water fishing, well you know that it wont be here for too long. I was certainly looking forward to meeting you this winter for some hard water action. Alas it will have to wait til summer. I know exactly where to go for some good fishing. Lac St-Marie is a favorite lake of mine come soft water and let me tell you that you won't regret it. Yeah Lac Leamy is only a short drive away from my place and it's a great place to target when you don't want to drive too far Until then... tight lines Jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
