TJQ Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Well after the Lakair G2G, and a few days of work, it was time to take back off to camp for a few nites over the July long weekend. Camp is finally pretty much set up and except for some cleanup and organizing there's finally no work to do, except the mandatory wood cutting and trail cleaning. Things were pretty uneventful, a little rainy, and the skeeters were bad only on the first nite, so all in all it was a very relaxing trip with lots of decent fish being caught by everyone.. really I caught a few too?? We did Stop at the MacEwans Gas Station in Latchford and picked up some cheap Lucky Strike spoons which we drug around and did very well on. Fluorescent Orange works well on the Montreal River, as well as Brass/Red. The spoons were under $2 each so we picked up the whole card full!! The guy at that station really helped me out of a trailer bearing bind, so I try to stop in and gas up every chance I get! The wildlife was out in full form.. didn't get any pictures though, but, this trip we saw 4 different species of ducks, a lynx walking along the shoreline 50 feet from the boat... that was AMAZING, 1 moose and 5 bears, two of them were very small cubs with their mothers.. very very cute!!! (for now) Here's some pictures and a couple of videos form the trip! This guy visited with us all week.. hes a bit fatter now than he was... My serious side The magic spoon!! We caught lotsa these.. nice fishery there, fish of all year classes around! Jaden and Muskie sharing the boat! NOW FOR THE FISH PICTURES!! Moniques got this funky cross armed pike vulcan hold she can seem to shake??? Avery Cleaned up with some nice topwater bass! And of course I always get the biggest one!!! Anyone know what kind of ducks these are?? they hung around the dock and were quite cute... they aren't blacks... Tons of wild flowers on the shoreline as well. Having a woodsplitter there takes alot of the work outta cordwood!! Runs really well!! We did have one nice fish fry.... done up with fresh garlic and butter!! Thanks Mr. Pikie!! My happy place We played "Sorry" every night.. Avery won most of the time.. I think hes sneaky.. that's what I think!! Ahh... the sunsets!! My motto is... "Happy Wife... Happy Life!!" Lasagna done on the BBQ!! Now I cant wait to go back, Off to Lingham Lake this weekend for a trip with some friends, then back to work for a while then hopefully another extra long weekend very soon!!

Thanks for showing us the pics and telling the story. Also a tip of the ol' OFC hat for not giving away the GPS coordinates.

fishnsled Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Good times TJ! Thanks for the report. The thing on the bonnet is a camera Brian, I think. Makes little fish look BIG! Edited July 7, 2009 by fishnsled

Joey Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Another Awesome Jiggy Jiggy report. You guys are so lucky. I think those are wood ducks, but I'm not positive. Joey

Mattones Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Great report! and thanks for the pictures. Thats the summer life I want to live on my weekends.
oxcowboy Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 looks nice as always, glad your getting to spend some time up their in heaven, we are heading that way on the 28th, going to tent camp the whole trip this year, for a rugged mans tour, if your in the area you guys should come on back, we are going to be going back the old rough road and stay on the island with the sand beach i think. cant wait to get there. jason
lunkerbasshunter Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 what a great way to spend the long weekend! Nothing better then time on the water with family! Cheers!
Bob Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Great shots, nice trip. That's what it's all about. Hard to tell sometimes with young ducks that don't have adult plumage yet but I'm guessing a brood of young redheads.
Bly Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Looks like a grand to me was had by all TJ. The game Sorry is very popular around our house also, Sydney and Amanda win most often though.
Sinker Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Awesome trip TJ. Will you adopt me? Those ducks are goldeneyes BTW S.
danc Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Always enjoy the family trip reports from Jiggy Jiggy. Awesome once again..
dave524 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 The ducks are young Goldeneyes, they usually nest in hollow tree cavities like old woodpecker holes
