Mike the Pike Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Well folks we had a great day not too cold in the morning and not much win until after lunch.Myself my 8 year old son Ryan,My brother in Law Chris ,Kenny my (Quinte) fishing partner and Mo who works with Kenny tried ice fishing for his first time.It was great to finally get out in all we caught 23 Speckled trout and One nice Rainbow. We went to an outfitter called Pourvoire Baroux 90 minutes north of Montreal not far from the Mont-Tremblant Ski Resort.I highly recommeend this place the outfitter took great care of us.Enough of this Bla Bla! Here are the pics Joey! Well the alarm went off at 4:20 but that wonderful snooze button got us to 4:46am. This is the map to let you know where we drove for 2 hours. The invention of the third row seat that folds into the floor. Makes room for all that fishin stuff. Are we there yet Dad? All systems go we are leaving first stop well you know.TIM HORTONS!!!!!!!!! A little shot of ski country the sun is coming up but did you notice half the moon is out. I am still fidelling with the ice hut and Ryan lands our first trout of the day.Priceless Back to the ice hut. 2 minutes later yup another one .The ice hut is still on the ground. Going for number 3.Back to trying to get that ice hut set up! Happy Uncle chris his first trout ever. Me I am still setting up. Finally it was my turn. Kenny my fishing buddy always takes care of Lunch.No cold Lunch for us Habitant soup and Grilled cheese sandwiches. Kenny ,Ryan and me .Biteme don't you dare call me BIG BIRD!!!!!! The 2 new guys to trout The new Fin Bore no need for video demo .Clampet took care of that. Thanks Paul. The only Rainbow of the day. No horses required we have lots of horse power. Oops I forgot one. eating a hot lunch in a hot place.Gerritt notice the Black Cat it was nice and warm in there. Well unfortuantely the day had to end my little Ryan fell asleep in the van .When we arrived at Mcdonalds the favorite kiddy food we could not wake him up.he has been sleeping since 5pm when I got home i just put him to bed he said he was too tired to eat. I look forward to the next outing. Mike the Pike
glen Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Nice report. It looks like a nice day to be out. So i guess your cleaning fish for a while.
mattyk Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 looks like a great day! Thanks for sharing.
irishfield Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) Great stuff Mike...but if I was that close to Tremblant I wouldn't have been sitting out on the ice. I'd have been riding the gondola up and then been skiin the North face all day! Edited February 11, 2007 by irishfield
Greencoachdog Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Excellent report and pics Mike!!! Looks a bit chilly up there though?
Joey Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks Mike, that report was great. Love the part about you setting up the hut as your son cleans up in the fish dept Looks like it was a great day. Joey
Gerritt Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Mike awesome report and pics!!!! Glad to see the BlackCat is working well for you... I have no complaints about mine either thus far! heats a small in quick order, infact turns it into an oven in no time! Nice to see the little man getting into em.. always great to see the smile on a kids face when a fish is on! one question??? In the one picture with your son with the ski goggles on... their appears to be alot of down trees Logging? or natural causes? again awesome report man... I may just have to drive my rear end up there for a little fishing adventure! Gerritt.

Gerritt that would be some of the damage we received during the 1998 ice storm.You will notice alot of downed and damaged trees in various areas of Quebec.Mike
huntervasili Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 WTG Man... Great Job with the report and pictures and taking the little guy out to get some fish...
Clampet Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Very special, mon vieux! Some great memories were made, eh! Those fish are a welcome break, we do not see those Speckeld Trout very often. The little devils cooperated very well. They will make a very scrumtious meal. Interesting snow buggy there, I can imagine Santa being envious. Well worth the trip, and awesome pictures.
b2kptbo Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Great report and pic's, looks like fun, thanks for sharing...
Roy Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks for the repot, Mike. For those who like trout there sure are jewels in them thar hills.
Rich Clemens Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Yeah. Looks like a great time to be had by all, with some fish along the - glad you broke out of your hard-water rut. It's all up hill from here. Going out fishing with friends and your son ... gotta be priceless.

JEREMY Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Great report and pics the onlythingthat would have made the report better would be a LEAFS towel in that pic.lol
lew Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks Mike, sounds like you had a great day. Luv the part about your son catching all the fish while your still setting up Great idea taking the Coleman on the ice with you too, lots better than cold food !!
fishindevil Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 WOW...way to go mike,that was a great ice fishing trip bud,and you guys all caught lots of awsome specs, they are such a pretty color fish,so it looks like you will be having a nice fish-fry,thanks for sharing your trip with us and your pics showing everybody having a gret time.....cheers
carll2 Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 hey mike good to see you had an awesome day. just from seeing your pictures i booked myself there for a day in march. must have been lots of traffic on the 15 up near mont tremblant?
Mike the Pike Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Posted February 12, 2007 Carl there was not much traffic however I did see a couple of boneheads who were driving too fast do the tango with black ice and end up driving off the road. You will like this place for ice fishing .Many times during the day the staff would drop by on there ski doo's and ask how we were doing they were willing to move us if we were not catching .Very clean and well organized place.You should enjoy it.This is one of the best Trout outfitters I have visited so far.good luck in March. MTP.
camillj Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 What a great report ! I'll bet your son will remember that for his whole life ! IMHO those little specks are better than any other fish and for sure the tastiest ! Thanks for sharing !
ccmtcanada Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Nice job! Great pics and a great time. At least you guys saw fish come out of that hole!!! LOL. Thanks for sharing!
