Basskicker Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 With all this cold weather I thought I'd make a report about another one of my adventues from a couple of years ago with my fiancee. I have several hundred pictures from several different adventures thoughout the last couple of years...so narrowing it down is hard. We left Whibty and had 3 weeks to go north....once again not sure where...we ended up drivings about 16-17 hours north towards the Manitoba border in search of some remote camping and fishing. Along the way we saw several moose and was lucky enough to capture some of them without putting the car into the ditch reaching for the camera. These crossed the road right in front of us as we came around the bend.... A couple of hours later we came across these two After what seemed like an eternity we reached Thunder Bay...and we both decided that we couldn't go any further...but of course we did. So after getting some information from the local tackle shop, we decided to head south towards the Minnesota border....there is a chain of lakes that apparently contain some smallmouths.....did they ever. We had to travel for about another 160 km down some old logging roads with several smaller roads braching in all directions. I really didn't think we'd ever find the small remote lake.....thank god for the GPS so I knew the general direction.....We came across this little feller along the way.... A little lake along the way.... So finally we came near the lake...or so I thought. We had travelled 17 hours and now we had to portage the canoe, camping, fishing gear to the lake which was another 1/2 km through the bush. So finally after another hour or so we finally made it.......we were so exhausted by them....with no place in site to set up camp until we came across this.....home sweet home....awesome spot. This spot made it all worth it....and the fishing was simply awesome....by far the best smallie action I have ever experienced....not the largest fish in the world...but the numbers were unbelievable. Practically ever cast we hooked one.....I couldn't even light a smoke without taking my line out of the water....almost lost my rod 3 times out of the canoe. Here's some pics... One afternoon we had to go to shore to relieve ourselves when I came across this....kinda cool to find this Canada/U.S marker securly fastened in the rock.. And here's a couple of more pics......my fiancee was started to get ticked with me wanting her to take all the pictures of the smallies...so we stopped taking pics....but I got a couple more. And of course...she always catching the biggest fish.....and yes...she never lets me forget it... As I woke up one morning....I ventured outside to find the nearest tree and watched this guy....what an awesome way to start the morning... Overall it was an amazing trip....seen 7 moose, 3 bears, grouse, caught a minimun of 80-100 smallies (each) every day....unbelievable. We will definately be going back!!! Hope you enojy....I sure did....brought back alot of warm memories on this very cold day. Jason
setomonkey Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 Sounds like a great trip! Great pics too, esp. seeing open water & bass at this time of year. Also liked seeing the border marker, never seen one before. Mike

Zib Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 Awesome pics. Where do you guys find the women that will go fishing with their guy? My wife won't even go camping let alone fish.

GREAT report Basskicker !!!!! Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind if I can convice my wife to divorce me & not want half of everything I own plus alimony.
Basskicker Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Posted March 5, 2007 As soon as she said that she loved to fish...I knew she was a keeper, and she doesn't mind ruffing it, but you got to be careful....she gets upset if I she doesn't get to go now..hehehe. I can't wait for August...we have a 2 week trip planned for Newfoundland...gonna be awesome.
kennyman Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!! Thanks for posting. Man,I am so jealous. Beautiful pics. Looks like you guys had a ball. Well deserved by the sounds of it. Enjoying the fruits of your labour. Great report!
Rich Clemens Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 Man that must have been fun. Looks like you had the place all to yourselves. Oh yeah - I enjoyed the report and the pics. Keep diggin through the archives, I'm sure everyone would love to see another report - even if it is a couple years old. Fantastic pics.
tjsa Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 Glad you had a great adventure up in my neck of the woods, and I think I know where you went. If I am wrong, I will definately know the lake, and probably have fished it also.
Clampet Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 Great pics. Moose in the Tamarack, Grouse in the gravel, Bass on the well..those are good sized fish!
