kickingfrog Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Loading the otter Unloading the otter Second cast little pike on a topwater Third cast, a walleye on the same topwater After that I just started pulling lures out of my box. I would switch lures after every fish. It took over forty minutes before I took more then 10 casts with a lure. Oh ya, my camera man caught some fish to. The cabin First of many double headers. We had pike double headers and pike/walleye double headers This lure was one of the more productive ones although after the third day I rarely used it. Spoon fed walleye We ate like kings... ... but most went back Even took the time to jig for a few Some sunsets and night shots One Three One again Smoke on the water The view out the cabin window Spruce grouse I keep trying to take a photo of my brother's last fish of the trip, but we kept catching more and I gave up. Almost the last fish of the trip. My brother looked for just the right piece of driftwood all week. Plane coming in to get us Sore necks? Do not touch anything! Closing the door on a great trip. “Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.” Henry David Thoreau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Beauty report, Rob! That star shot is great. Glad you all had a good time. It'd be interesting to see what an underwater cam could pick up down there. Maybe the water is a little too stained for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookinforwalleye Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 It was a great trip the cast of characters made it memorable. No worries about bear smell in the plane I think we did a pretty good job of masking it. My son got some underwater video Roy but I have not seen it yet. My report will be up a little later. Well done Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adempsey Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) What a place....thanks for putting your report together. Your nighttime shot reminds me that I will need to bring a nice telescope along with my fishing rods whenever I manage to get up there. Cheers!

Nope water was low,Craig our cabin boy(sorry Craig) did manage to go up part ways to retrive a motor. I will talk a little more about Craig in my report later. The connection to the north may be doable with higher water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Topwater walleye, first I've seen of that! lol Topwater walleye was one of my goals for the trip. I've heard of it, but not seen it first hand. The walleye were super aggressive, I really didn't use any traditional walleye lures and yet had no problems catching loads of them. Great to meet you guys before the flight out. How did you like flying out with my stinky bear carcass? Nice pics. The fishing was MUCH tougher at Beteau Good to meet you too. I never put the two together (that is was your bear on the plane) I got to fly up front but the other guys said there wasn't any smell. Nice Rob. So did the experience live up to your expectations? My brother and I never got into the "big" pike (high 30s to low 40s) but that's fishing. Everything else was pretty much bang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would gas up the boats every day, cleaned some fish, stoked the wood stove, prepared the coffee at night and many other things as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
