solopaddler Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Eddie's first year in business has been a huge success largely due to the bookings and support from the OFC community. After talking to him recently he would like to give something back and has extended what I think is a pretty generous offer. He has an open week available for up to 6 people on Sept 4-11. This week sits squarely in between his last fishing party and his preparations for the fall hunt. He's offering a full week at his camp for up to 6 people for $650 Canadian dollars tax in. Regular price is $1500. If anyone has been contemplating a trip up there this may be a golden opportunity. Obviously a group of 6 would be great but he'll book smaller groups together as well. I believe there's now two kitchens so groups that don't know each can be autonomous if they wish. It's prime time as well. I went the same time last Sept and had a fantastic trip....lots of trophy pike. He's currently at the camp and somewhat hard to reach so I'll be handling this for him, including procuring deposits of $200 per man. If anyone is interested contact me directly at [email protected] You can view Eddie's website here: http://eddienorth.com/index.html Cheers, Mike Edited September 13, 2010 by solopaddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I think that spells it out for my chances of going this fall. But a big thumbs up for Eddie, very generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Sounds like a great offer. After seeing posts from up there I'd love to try a trip like that but I start school on the 7th and after 13 years I don't want to be late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock34 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Very generous offer indeed. I wish I could make it but like the posts before me, I just cant make it work....because of work! Whoever goes though I am sure wont be dissapointed. I think that part of the deal with the discount should be that there is a mandatory report posted afterwards. What do you think? I need to get my fix somehow. Fishing has been few and FAR between this summer for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solopaddler Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Several people have contacted me but nothing firm. Just so we're all on the same page here, it's first come first served to whoever commits.

Terry Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 well I do maintenance for a school board and the first week of school ,people always find lots of problems for me to fix, so they do not allow vacation that week...... I don't think people here know just how good of a deal that is..it should be gone by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutologist Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Again, work thwarts another chance at a great trip! I'm up north during that time. A great offer, I'm sure someone will get to enjoy this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Bass Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 What a deal! Even I would have jumped on this chance! Unfortunately I have 2 surgeries and wont be healed till the end of October...... If anyone has been dreaming of a fly in, this is the perfect opportunity to make your dreams come true!

Fang Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Looking to convince my fishin buddies of a trip there next year. My boss has me tied to the whipping post through to the 11th of Sept as we have a 3 day Canadian trade show starting on Saturday. Maybe easy to go but I'd have to look for a new job when coming back. I'm hoping to book for next summer if my guys will committ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeGuy Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 September 4-11 should be a hot fishing week. New moon Wednesday, September 8. Jump on this offer or sell your fishing gear and become a hair dresser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdox Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I have this week off, and if I hadn't just firmed up a private cottage on a trophy bass lake me and my 4 buddies would be all over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I'd be all over it Mike. If I wasn't going to be heading to Alaska for 5 weeks starting on the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 If I wasn't going to be heading to Alaska for 5 weeks starting on the 4th. 1/2 price on this trip is amazing. you can't do anything for a week at that price and this is a fishing trip. I've been in AK for a little over 2 weeks working on this year's grand slam. 2 done, 3 to go. Gonna try getting one in Cordova this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Why I have NEVER heard so MANY excuses why someone can't go fishing....BTW I can't go either.... ....wife goes back to work that week (school starts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in AK for a little over 2 weeks working on this year's grand slam. 2 done, 3 to go. Gonna try getting one in Cordova this year. I'll be hunting Lakers, Bows, Dollys, Silvers, Steelhead, Halibut and Crab. I'll probably hook too many reds and pinks too. Nothing worse than hooking them off species when your in the thick of good bow fishing. Fishing for them now would be a different story, but when they are in spawning mode and all beat up they're just a pain. You've been there for 2 weeks and only managed 2 of the 5? A couple of the guys on the Alaskan fishing board I'm a member of got their slams last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of the guys on the Alaskan fishing board I'm a member of got their slams last weekend. I'm still here for another 5 weeks so I'm taking my time but I know a few people who chase the grand slam too. It sounds like crazy fun but i doubt i'll ever do it that way. I visit friends around the state while i'm at it so that really slows things down. I have the red caught and some eaten so it's 3 now. My red is still fairly bright. Only the king and dog left, two of the best fighters. I remember last year (or was it the year before?), we were about 50-60 miles apart. I think you and Solo were getting into Cooper Landing or somewhere in upper Kenai and I was in Girdwood on my way out and heading northeast, well, west first to get around the mountains . so close and yet so far. I opened an emailed photo of a 363 lb halibut that an acquaintance pulled this weekend. I don't know if he entered the derby yet but if he did, they might as well write out that cheque now. geez, that's twice my biggest but then I don't chase those trophies either. The big ones are not the best eaters. Edited August 10, 2010 by j ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jds63 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I have been dreaming of doing this trip after reading your trip logs. I tried to arrange something this year , however couldn't get any commitment from my buddys Unfortunately I have no holidays left either. If there will be any groups going next year that need an extra fella please keep me in mind. Thanks Solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Just a bump. Amazingly still no one committed yet. I've also included my cel number as I'll be at my camp in QC from the 13-21. Call after 8pm please when I'm up there. If you don't reach me keep trying! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakpiker Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I did this trip the first week of July and I want to go again. Solo says there are two of us interested. We could put together a group for this week so don't hesitate if you are an individual or a pair. This really is the opportunity of a lifetime for a fly-in trip with HUGE pike and endless walleye at an unbeatable price. PM me if you want more info. I've attached my biggest pike from Attawapiskat.
