spincast Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 In March as the taste of spring entered the air the clan gathered round to vote for the family cottage get away. After much discussion Temagami won out. Scenery, fishing and a little help locating a place sealed the deal. This week is one where fishing plays a role, but time with the family is the primary reason and time away from work and its embedded blackberry are savoured. Last time we were up in Temagami was 2010. The fishing was good and G-man got introduced to something other than sunfish off the dock with a float. He struggled feeling fish on the jig and got hung up or gave his worm away more often than not. Frustration was not far off when I introduced him to worm harnesses and his love of trolling was born. His sister has always had the touch,be it casting, jigging, or drifting. This year his sister is 13 and lets say interest in fishing, and lamoist anything I understand seems to have waned for the moment. Hopefully it will return. G was equipped with a new light, fast action set up and taught himself to jig after a couple pointers, watching the bass in the clear shallow waters. The fishing wasn't as good this year but we all still had success and enjoyed ourselves.Here's a few moments with family, friends and scenery - all of which were great. Family vacation equals at least one day of tubing Steph got a new camera and wanted to try the action shots, The weather wasnt great, with fronts blowing through almost daiily, and rain on 2 days. Thursday was a torrential down pour spouting funnel clouds. That shut them down. But on Monday a OFC friend showed up and took us out to a fishing spot - sharing OFC fishing stories the whole way "that's Moosebunk rock; that's where Lloyd caught his big fish; that spot there will take your lower end out, Joey and Paul got some good one's here......." A great opportunity to see and experience the lake through the eyes of a resident. he put us on a couple of fish G was thrilled to meet Wayne again after all their post exchanges. Thanks Wayne - really enjoyed our visits. G is taking canoe camp this year and took an opportunity to practice his skills G really wanted a chance to use his stringer he got this year, Having some fun with the morinng catch before the meeting mack the knife. and a few shots of Temagami to sign off. I can never get enough of this scenery moon rise through the trees sitting on the deck time to hang it up till next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Wish we hadn't been rushed Rick! I had the entire week book marked until my Niece wanted to come up with my two great nieces. At least I found two fish.... Also... the 30th anniversary gift for Leah and I was extremely over the top from your family and MUCH appreciated. I'll try to find some time over the weekend to add some of my pics I got of your gang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 This area (Temagami) has ALWAYS sparked my interest, but every time I follow any of these threads for more fishing info I only see small or few fish caught...maybe I'm just not seeing the good thread on this area.

irishfield Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 They are called eaters Bob... we let the trophies go ! Have you missed my winter threads... with 4' lakers and such?.. or Walleyemasters sinks full of 'eyes for dinner? It can be a tough lake to crack... 3500 miles of shoreline and as many shoals to search, learn and TRY to conquer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 But it just a fraction of the water I fish in Lake Erie, with most times much better results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 haha. That fish is only there because all the natural fish from that lake are long gone. Just in case you forgot, this is what a real pike looks like...from the Temagami area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Still small compared to many of my fish... :rofl2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip-ripper Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) The good thing about Lake Erie is, while you troll, you can use the lake water to develop film or bottle it for use as an effective Drano substitute. p.s. Great report! Edited August 24, 2012 by Trouty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
