lew Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Hi guys, I've been away for our 3rd trip to Memquisit Lodge on the West Arm of Nippising for the last 14 days and just got home awhile ago. 500 miles round trip and everything is good and the truck and boat performed perfectly. Our log cabin was great, the hosts are excellent and as always the scenery was unbeatable. As I posted earlier this week the musky fishing was the slowest I've seen in 10 years up there and it rained 1/2 the time but it was an excellent trip and my wife and I had a great time. Good to be home but I can't wait to head north again. Edited August 23, 2014 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan668 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Slow fishing or not, always great to get up north! Next weekend will be my third trip up to that area. Slow for sure, but always a great time. Did you by any chance manage to fish anywhere in the West Arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan668 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thanks ketchenany I spend most of my time in West Bay east of 64 Same. Im headed up with a friend who has a small tin. Don't want to ditch him, so ill be trying out "new to me" spots in the Arm. Haven't read too many if any reports this year from the actual arm. Before you left, what were the water temps like?

Joey Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Glad you're home and had a great trip Lew. No matter the weather, it's always nice to be up there. That's the naked men cabin Saw your other pic with the first cast musky - awesome!!! Can't wait to see you two again. September right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 A week ago the temps were around 72F, then dropped to 65 over the next week and by yesterday they'd climbed back to about 68 so their going in the right direction. Weeds are still lower than normal but I think things will be back to somewhat normal once the temps get back into the 70's. Good luck when you get up there.

Joey Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Oh, okay, thought you were going to go for the Fall bite. We usually go late Sept./early Oct Any better weeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Aikinheads is normal growth right now Joey but most other places, including the big bay, are still 3-4 feet below the surface. BTW, Diane wants to know if you can send me the pics you took of her & Barb with the crazy lights attached to their glasses in your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
