fishnsled Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Fishing plans already in place for those dates and a very hefty repair bill are stopping me from jumping on this. Have a great time gentlemen and will look forward to the report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Oh Boy! this is the number 1 spot on my bucket list. I've got locked out from holidays at work from April to October as a new computer system is going in live for Sept 1. Wife is miffed as it means no summer plans can be made. Plus I just dropped a boatload getting the foundation dug up and waterproofed. Have a great time guys! Be sure to take lots of pictures. For fun I just might pretend I'm going and pack up a tackle bag with several rod and reel combos. Now where did I put those Johnson spoons, bucktails and swimbaits Solo, Grimsby tackle had some very cool large plastic baits in bulk when I was there last. All I thought was big pike way up north. I had to buy a bag of 8" white sassy shads. Very jealous guys - enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Solo, Grimsby tackle had some very cool large plastic baits in bulk when I was there last. All I thought was big pike way up north. I had to buy a bag of 8" white sassy shads. It's a damn shame you can't swing the time off! Seems to be a common theme although I'm sure the short notice doesn't help. Thanks for the heads up on the plastic baits. I'm good though. I've been tweaking, tinkering and accumulating gear for this trip since last September LOL! Don't think I've ever been quite as ready for a trip as I am for this one.

chris.brock Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 it looks like a sunny, warm few days coming up for Nakina, should help melt some ice on Cordingly Lk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I still wouldn't want to be booked for a lake, opening week north of Nakina/ Armstrong, anxiously watching forcasts and sattelite images like solopaddler said, the big rivers will be fine though and could be a post spawn, pike feeding frenzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4bassin Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Ditto for me as well , You always have some great stories Solo and i'm sure this will be no exception ! Have a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skud Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Looks like it will be 12 to 15 degrees for the next week up at the camp. That should do some damage to the ice and snow. I will still pack my parka though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosebunk Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Seems to be a common theme although I'm sure the short notice doesn't help. Never knowing that people would fall out of a trip, it actually pays if you can wait sometimes Mike, as things do happen. Examples being, I remember when you asked me if I wanted to go and the price was $1500... now there's a deal at $1200. Had I known then... or last year, Eddie offered up some last minute specials for OFC'ers at a great rate too... It's the Skat people... good price offered and so loaded a pike fishery that even if they're on the spawn they'll be scarfing down your bucktail cheeseburgers while giving birth to millions of future trophy toothies. And, if you've never had a quality Solo meal, I'm sure you'll be treated to awesome all week. Sign on up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew it's always been a hassle at least for me getting anyone to commit to a fly in, nevermind a group of 6. Most people once they're committed aren't going to drop out. Most outfitters Eddie included require a deposit to hold a booking. So waiting in the hopes that someone might be able to make it is not a good idea. Wish you were coming, we'd have a blast.

Moosebunk Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I hear ya Mike. Totally! You and I should team up sometime, take on a place and see if we can get a dozen. Imagine the stress. lol. Will hopefully join ya one of these days, you know where I'd be happiest to do that. Rick... looking like August. Main Lodge and Tree again. Boss' orders.

chris.brock Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'd like to read the report of that trip, Moosebunk versus Solopaddler, in the James Bay Watershed, in a head to head pike tournament that's far more interesting than the NHL Playoffs so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
