Recommended Posts

North Pigeon Lake. Every year the Minden volunteer Fire Dept., has a derby to raise money. It's alot of fun. I really enjoy the small town events around Minden like the demolition derby, the ice car racing and the ATV Mud Bog competition to name a few. Really friendly people.

 

Getting stuff organized the night before.

I was riding over before the sun came up to secure our spot on the lake, there's another group that also likes this spot.

Lots of soft snow and slush on the lake for the 140 that came out.

We only had 2 bites all morning. My Dad missed a fish after I caught this 3.2 lber.

The prizes and draws etc, in the slush

Lots of great prizes donated by local companies

I took third place and a new Rapala power auger. You'll likely see it soon in the classified section because we already have a solid auger. Another fun day up in cottage country. Me, my Dad and his friend Ed.

Good job on the third place win!

 

Looks like Miskwabi? I guess a lot of the lakes in that area look the same from those angles lol...

 

Burt :)

 

Haliburton looks pretty similar, not Miskwabi though, N. Pigeon on Deep Bay Rd

 

Congrats Chris. Can't say I'm sad to see Old Man Winter loosening his grip though.

 

yeah, spring's around the corner, maple trees will be flowing soon

 

Nice stuff man congrats on the third place. Never fished Pidgeon ever, but that looks like a good tourney. Is it reasonable to walk out or is a snow machine required?

 

it's a small lake and easy to walk out, lots of people fishing just off the public launch today

Good one!!! How big was the 1st place fish? And what did he chose to haul home?

 

1st was 3.6lbs, $500 prize

2nd was 3.5lbs, $300

 

I choose the auger over a $200 cash prize

 

I talked to the CO a few years ago and he said the odd 10 lber is caught out of N. Pigeon
