The family and I made the annual trip to the cottage last week and we managed to get a few...

didn't stop me from taking a few casts at the shore before bed where I nailed my 1st fish of the trip, seems I catch this Pike every year on the first night casting from the shore(first fish the last few years have been a pike from the same spot)

Next morning was a very misty and a few passing showers until around noon, finally put the boat in the water but not before netting this pike by jj jr off the beach

fire up the boat and hit some familiar spots, This dock always has something under it, last year it was a nice pike, this year a big fat smallmouth.

by mid week there didn't seem to be many fish in the slop so we changed up a bit and fished weed edges for a while
