Muskieman Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) For the first time in 13 years my wife and I had the chance to go camping without the kids or the dogs ,we've been going to Gull Lake (hwy 805) with the kids for the past 9 yrs, but this was our well overdue trip alone.It started off on Friday morning , we left home at 9 Am and made the 90k trek up Hwy 805 to the Obabika turn off, in about and hour and 15 minutes , stopped to check the tie downs and prepare for the next bonejarring 10k into Gull 1 h 30 minutes.Quickly interrupted by a flat tire. Quick fix and on our way! High water and Beaver DamsCamp was set up by 2 PMSomeone came to say hello.Got the boat in the water and set out for some Walleye... All I got were friggin Trout ! after Trout after Trout ! With the water temps at 41* I was expecting as much. In all caught about 30 ,all free to be caught another day, no Walleye to be had this time 'round.Nature calls Some scenery..All in all we had a great weekend , it got pretty cold in the evenings but there were absolutely no bugs ! and NO INJURIES !!! Randy. Edited May 28, 2013 by Randy from Sturgeon
asdve23rveavwa Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Great report Randy!! No walleye, but, at least you were catching! Looks like a great spot to get away to. I can't wait for our (Juli and I), just the two of us, week away in July.
oldphart Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 ~~~~Fantastic report, hear Trout cooks up real good, and so does Groose. Love the pic of the water trickling down OOOOPs so got to go
Joey Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 What a great report Randy. That looks like a really nice spot!! Love the camp set up. No injuries, I'm shocked!!!!
Muskieman Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Posted May 28, 2013 It's my favorite spot period , the last 10 k are brutal and take about 1 1/2 hrs with a 4x4 .. almost guaranteed a good spot to camp , we lucked out and got the best one , there were 3 more camped a out 200 M away ... We had 1/2 the lake to ourselves
Sinker Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Looks like a great spot to spend a weekend for sure! S.
Roy Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Nevermind the spot, that's a hefty trout you have there! Congrats to you both and thanks for sharing.
ccmtcanada Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Great report and pics!! I kept waiting for "epic" injury lol. A flat tire which you were prepared for and the rest of the report was all great! No walleye but lots of trout is a nice thing too.
camillj Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 May not have been any gold in the waters .. but Im thinkin thars gold in them thar hills ! Great report ... and next time cook up some of that laker action !
Muskieman Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Posted May 28, 2013 I wasn't gonna cook for myself , Sue doesn't really like Trout ,I'm not really crazy 'bout it either , It's not bad at all on a Cedar Plank or with a good coating in oil , but.. T-Bone and Brisket were on the menu for Friday and Saturday had I caught a Walleye , it probably would've went back as well.
danc Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Good times I'm sure Randy. Looks like a great weekend to me.
limeyangler Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 That looks awesome Randy. Holy moly....as soon as i saw that first picture i thought 'that's gotta be rough on your gear.....lol a couple pictures later confirmed that. What a fantastic spot to set up camp. GREAT REPORT..... LOVE IT!
davey buoy Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Looks like a piece of paradise!!,I think I'd be bringing in a couple more spare tires though.lol.
ChrisAshton Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Excellent lake. I am planning to go up this May run. How were the roads? My dad actually was able to drive a car in there in the sixties when they were logging. I'm a walleye hunter myself. Any secret places that might like to share at gull lake? I have a couple in mind to try first thing.
Muskieman Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Posted March 7, 2014 Thanks ! Gull is hit and miss , the road is getting worse every year , and I don't mind that one bit .. long gone are the days of getting in with a car , going in with a 2WD truck is taking a risk .

little mountain Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 I have bin to Gull 11 or 12 times now since 2005. the road is rough and i wouldn't try it without 4x4 . the pics Randy has posted is just part of it. I take extra trailer lights and wire and have used them. From the end of 805 u are about 2 hrs in 4x4. but it is just part of the trip. I have never caught a walleye but done well on lakers and lots of small mouth bass. Nice pics , cant wait to go back this fall.
