Mike the Pike Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Well this was our third spring trip for the May long weekend and it was our most successful BOQ trip in the spring. Not much boat traffic and Mother nature was in a great mood giving superb weather.An Awesome weekend looking forward to next year. Enough said on with the report. I left home friday 4:37am and 43 minutes later I arrived in Ontario. I arrived at Mohawk Bay at 8:37am taking exactly 4hrs to get there made my first launch solo get out 2kms already to troll and my phone rings and my fishing partner Ron, GlennK 's Dad for the day is waiting at the the dock.So back up goes the kicker motor shoot to the dock pick up Ron and back to the secret fishing grounds. 20 minutes later the first walleye of the weekend .Fish on ya baby Next Ron puts me in a new spot and I get this 21 inch eye for team#4 Not too long after that fish on and he starts peeling some line a 30 inch pike for team#4 Ron gets his first fish for the day. Not to long after that we got this one which had those red spots the locals say not to keep those not sure if this is the same virus we all read about on this board this winter. Well Glenn and Serge my fishing partner for the weekend arrived and he wanted to get out for the evening bite.We were just about to call it a night when Serge hooks into this little Eye at 9pm. Our walleye vessels. Met up with Easton and his dad right in front of Pickeral park. Not too long after that we see this young kid pull in at least a 3lb eye right on the dock. Serge says lets troll by some lady comes zipping into the dock area at Pickeral Park no respect drove 30 feet behind us, Well her prop grabbed both our lines now they had been fishing themselves.While undoing the mess not a word was exchanged. But everyone was mad got set back up and caught somemore walleyes. Back to fishing the next day. Can anyone tell me if this is a Hybrid Pike a mix breed between a Muskie and a Pike. check out the colours. A 12 inch Perch. A chunky Rock Bass. Perch and walleye for supper. Fried in fish crisp......... Can some one tell me what kind of fish this is!!!!!!!! Thats a shot of Glenn's train. Group photo the weekend had to end. Serge,GlennK,Ron and Mike the Pike. All in all it was one of our best fishing weekends.I looked everywhere for Lew stopping in front of many Cresliner boats but unfortunately I did not get to meet Lew this time.

Joey Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Fantastic report Mike. How did you guys miss all the crap weather we got? High winds, sub zero temps? Looks like the weather Gods were smiling on you for sure. Nice fish and looks like you had a nice meal from your catches. I'm not sure, but that other fish looks kind of like a cisco or herring.

Mike the Pike Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Here some more shots of the weekend I had too many pics in the first report so I had to scale it down. Party boat. Our Camp for the weekend. Arriving back home to Quebec 5 seconds from the worst roads in the country. Arrived home to these gas prices.My last fill up in Ontario cost a $1.04 per litre.

Yes Cliff the time will come when young Ryan will come to the BOQ but 4 days of fishing 14 hours a day is too much for the young man. And yes it took me about 3 and half hours to upload size and make that report only to find out I had too many pics in my report. My whole family will be coming with me Canada day weekend to the BOQ I am staying with my cousin Percher.My son can't wait!!!!! MTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zib Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 That's an awesome trip you had. Nice pics. That fish looks like a white bass but the color is on the dark side for a white bass. Here's one that I caught in the Detroit River 2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easton13th Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Mike fantastic trip. Glad to see the BOQ paid off for you. Great report I am glad you had the opportunity to unwind after a bad a week and you were successful at the fishing game. We were onto a lot of pike and huge perch as well, I found the walleye a little reserved but we managed a few. Always a pleasure seeing fellow OFC'ers on the water.

tonyb Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Nice report, looks like you guys had a great time fishing and EATING! The mystery fish is actually a White Perch Here is a technical comparison: White Bass COMMON NAMES: White bass, Silver bass SCIENTIFIC NAME: Morone chrysops IDENTIFICATION: White bass are silvery in color and have a milky white belly. In addition, they have six or more dark lateral lines on the sides and back. This fish has two dorsal fins with the first having nine spines. The white bass closely resembles the hybrid striped bass and the white perch. White Perch (Your mystery fish) COMMON NAMES: White perch, Silver perch, Gray perch, Blue nose perch SCIENTIFIC NAME: Morone americana IDENTIFICATION: The white perch is a deep bodied fish that looks very similar to the white bass. The main difference is that the white perch is all silver and does not have dark lines running the length of the body. Hope that helps! I know it's nice to know what you have caught That other fish that you were wondering if it was a hybrid or not, it is not, it is just a nicely coloured Northern Pike.
