How pikeie is spending the summer

[tinbanger]

Kinda late in posting these from early may .

Matt is working at Wiley point Lodge on Lake of the Woods for the summer and decided to send me a few pics.

no internet connection so he can only send when he has a trip to Kenora and the time.

 

Of course pike fishing is easy

so is is the bass fishing ,open year round

THIS is even easier with all the rocks and deadheads around , Not Pikeies work

 

some cool birds as well

 

a view of the Lodge

that the 'SILVER BULLIT' docked up front , two 200 hp rudes move it along pretty well 40 mph plus with 14 people and gear on board. shuttle for moving guests and gear to and from the lodge .

Finally a nice shot from the dock.

 

 

An experince he won't soon forget

 

Will be up there myself come Mid august .

That looks like a great job. I wish I had done something like that when I was younger.

Do you get a family discount at the lodge?

 

He'll have memories and stories to last 2 life times.

I do not remember seeing the "Silver Bullet" when I was there last year, but this boat that they own that was on that dock could probably outdo it regardless.

 

 

and, it was parked on the opposite side the the same dock, all the paint on the front end had been worn off. Take a closer look at the boat behind it. That's one of their work boats. All steel hull, no amenities, goes really fast from point A to point B, :lol:

 

Pikie has probably had a ride in it.

 

Here is where he is working, poor lad.
