Rod Caster Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 JoeyTier and I tried another new lake that apparently holds walleye, bass and pike. This was a completly quiet and under fished lake with only one run down cottage on the entire shoreline. We forced our way through some very thin, hardly used trails and launched the canoe at the end of this long and thin lake. Both of us were hoping to land some walleye but the bass were the only ones that wanted to cooperate. We trolled deep with jigs and harnesses and also did some casting towards shore. At one point we stopped on shore for a quick, no dishes snack and took a little break before heading out for the evening bite. Here are the photos and results from our day. Joey with the machete, clearing away large sticks. The truck barely made it! haha A fair size SMB... I landed a couple this size and several smaller. Shore lunch with cheddar sausages. Big bass of the day! 17", probably 3 pounds. I was very happy to get this guy!! Scenery
cheaptackle Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 New (different?) Canoe? Thought you were running an old Sportspal? Looks like a great day! Michael
mercman Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 Man, that looks like an awesome, pristine lake. If it holds a 3lb smallie like that, just imagine what else it has in store for you. Keep that place a secret for sure

Michael Hey Mike, haven't heard from you in awhile, hope all's well! This canoe is my dad's toy, I have to plug some holes in the 'pal, so he let me use the Kevlar... Its a Cadillac compared to the ol' tin box.
Jer Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 Not too worried about the paint job on that Mazda, I guess. Beauty spot you found there.
MichaelAngelo Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 Huge props on you guys! You're exploring, offroading, canoeing, surviving and fishing. Sound like a heck of an adventure!
Rod Caster Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Posted August 6, 2011 Huge props on you guys! You're exploring, offroading, canoeing, surviving and fishing. Sound like a heck of an adventure! Surviving indeed... at one point the canoe came untied as we were eating lunch. Cell phone, camera, hat, glasses quickly on dry ground and splash in I went to chase the canoe in a strong wind. 20 more seconds and I'd have been swimming for a hundred meters or more. I hope you use better fishing knots Joey
Nipfisher Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 I'll have to join you on one of these adventures.

Good thing he trusts y'all with his toys. Real slow summer down here, finally broke down, decided to put less time in until the fall, renewed my license and started doing some exploring locally. Might even see if my tinny floats this week! Michael
limeyangler Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 Not too worried about the paint job on that Mazda, I guess. Beauty spot you found there. LOL Jer....exactly what i thought! I gave up worrying about the paint job on my truck...way to stressful...its a truck...thats what it does! Great report JT....one day i will do some off road adventures too...just collecting all the gadgets still. Cool pics too.
Rod Caster Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Posted August 7, 2011 Haha, its a 2010 with ten years worth of scratches on it. The first time I scratched it was difficult but it got easier after that.
Black_Blade Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 Nice post, now thats the kind of fishing I'd like to get into...getting back into those seldom fished lakes. Nice fish too!
Joeytier Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 one day i will do some off road adventures too...just collecting all the gadgets still. I can assure you, we fish with less gadgets than what you already have.
danc Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 Nice job guys. It's always nice when you put a little work into things and it all works out.
