Muskieman Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Eh! Here's my little report. I left my place in Sturgeon Falls on the 5th and headed for Sudbury where I met up with my old pal Chris of the PuckHogs fame. ( CBC SongQuest 2nd place winner ) For The Love of The Game http://music.cbc.ca/#/artists/The-Puckhogs We made our way to Opeepeesway lake , where we would meet up with Jean Luc . Launched the boats at the bridge over the river at the north end ... trekked down to Burnt Island where we set up camp. Made our way out for an evening fish, I quickly learned that every thing I know about Walleye angling was to be thrown out the window, I didn't matter what we pitched there was a Walleye at the end of the line, trolling with a jig&minnow , Rapala, Twister , Spoon, anything at any depth, but we mostly fished in 3-5 FOW . After releasing what seemed like hundreds we made it back to camp for some rest and a fire. Friday morning was a bit chilly as it had dipped to 4*C the night before ,warmed up quickly to 23*C , we set out for some fish ... again we released what is actually hundreds of them , we did keep some for shore lunch. Chris with average Walleye .. Me with an average Pike Made it back to camp for a fish fry and more relaxation .. My friend had 400$ Tequila and "special" caramels , after a few shots and a bite of candy , everything was more better than better could be I ended up laying flat on my stomach in pine needles trying to feed a Frito to a toad ... BZZZZZZZZ I'm sorta glad my pals were too busy laughing and didn't pick up the camera. Saturday was a bit different , we fished/visited a few water falls, again , more Walleye than I could ever imagine. .. We tried to catch a BIG Pike but only manged a swipe from a 40"+ never to be seen again.. We also went to visit the old mine site,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_Mine,_Ontario. I admittedly trespassed and violated laws I'm sure, but curiosity got the best of us .. IAmGold the owners, left a BIG pile of core samples that still contain a decent amount of gold , went to see the mine shaft and for a swim at the beach , made our way back to camp for one more fish fry and fire with beer and stories . .. Woke up to rain on Sunday morning , packed up, drove to the Watershed for brunch and came home ... What a great trip !, the amount of fish I caught over the weekend more than made up for the past 2 years of minimal fishing... I'll hopefully make it back up in a few weeks , to give it another shot Randy Edited June 10, 2014 by Randy from Sturgeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Great trip Randy. The first, and only, time my then-new-girlfriend-now-wife had tequila I saw (and so did just about everyone else at the party) a side (really more of a front) of her that I had never literally seen before.
