Rod Caster Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Yes, the weekend is not over yet. But I'm sunbaked and vacuuming was supposed to get done yesterday The wife-to-be and I visited Nipissing on Friday night and enjoyed a fantastic sunset on calm waters. We pulled in a couple walleye, but the fishing was slow overall. Yesterday, my brother was in a canoe race so my father and I met up with him at the designated portage and gave him a few peanut butter sandwiches, which he slammed down before heading across Talon Lake. After the race, Dad and I launched the canoe and trolling motor on a nearby lake looking for whatever would bite in the mid-day sun. I've fished this lake many times, caught a couple big pike on it, but in general, this lake just teases me with huge bites and missed fish! This time I found a shoreline filled with big smallies and largies. We managed 6 fish in our short trip. Most around 3.5-4lbs (guessing). Dad kept three for din-din. Last night, in redemption of the slow Nipissing outing on Friday, me and fiance travelled north to a hotspot for walleye. As is always the case, the setting sun triggers the walleye big time! Sarah was first up with a good fish followed by a barrage of non-stop action. We kept 6 to fill our limit and got a few pictures of the nicer ones. She bought some "Simon-pink" fish handling gloves, but she keeps forgetting them. This time I convinced her to hold it for a photo.... I think she did very well. Thanks for stopping in.

Great report Chad. Haha The way Joey catches fish out of my canoe, he gets a lot of threats. To round out the weekend, we were catching walleye in 5 feet of water....mid day, full sun! horrible photo i know. Recognize this one, Joey?

Rod Caster Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Nice report Chad. Maybe I missed a few of your previous posts...When did you pick up the Minkota for the Sportspal? A bit of a funny story... When I bought the canoe, it came with an old MotorGuide Circa 1988. I never really got to use it, because I never bothered picking up a good battery. Well, this year I go all out and buy a Quaker State Deep Cycle, ready to rock! First trip out and ZAP, there goes my motorOff to CT, spend $150 and I'm into a MinnKota haha. So far so good...I've never been so lazy and I'm loving it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had paddle back alone, in the dark, with the dead weight of a battery and trolling motor I was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
