Finally...a fishing report!!!

[ccmtcanada]

It's been a while since I was able to post an actual fishing report. Work has been CRAZY and even though we've made it out a few times, I haven't had time to post reports. So, here's a little mish mash of stuff.....

 

Shore Fishing...

The bite has been off and on...mostly off for us this year...but a few fish have been caught.

 

Bly went out and found out that walleye seem to frequent close to shore in some of our spots...here's a nice fat one for her team!

 

While I was away on business in Lebanon, Fishnsled and Bly hit a local spot for some carp...here's I think his first and only carp of the year!

 

Here's a nice little shore walleye for me as well....

 

My little one back in July managed to hook into a great bass! Her new personal best. She's been wanting to practice jigging in the weeds this year and I must say, she has the right touch! On this day, she caught the nicest fish out of all of us in the boat...and her new PB.

 

Last weekend, we headed up to Sturgeon Lake for a little time on the water. The day started out nice, but quickly turned windy. She put on a multi species clinic in front of Bly and I...

 

 

She was very proud of this one. It was the first walleye that she ever caught all by herself...of course jigging in the weeds...gotta ask her how she does it...I couldn't catch anything that day....LOL.

 

Now for the proud moment. Cancer has affected many people...every family seems to have been touched by it...mine included. My youngest daughter, Sydney, wanted to cut her very long hair and give some of it to charity. So yesterday, off she went to the hair dressers...and 12 inches of her long hair was cut into two pony tails. Here is a picture of her proudly displaying her donation. It will be mailed off to an organization that makes wigs for children affected by chemotherapy.

 

Well, that's it for now...hopefully I'll have a little time to catch up on the board now that things are going to slow down for a short while...looks like another trip for me overseas for work in September. This time I'll be gone over a weekend, so I'll be booking a tuna charter on the Mediterranean Sea for sure!

Great mish mash there Cliff and congrats to Sydney on her PB.

 

Tell Sydney she did a great thing and I'm proud of her. Paul also donated all his hair to cancer when he got it lopped off

Sydney catches so many fish and did a great thing by donating hair for a good cause. What else can one ask from his/her daughter? Priceless ....

Cancer schmancer, what about us bald guys? I would have given anything for that hair!!!!

Great report and congrat's to Sydney on her PB.

Best of all, congrats to Syd for making you proud parents!

Real nice walleye from shore. What types of lures/colours are you using at this time of year for the eyes?

You are doing a great job with the little one. Those are memories that will last her a lifetime. My youngest daughter and my 3 year old boy got their PB bass this year. I will post them later.

Thanks for sharing.
