Whopper Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 On to the fish porn. With the weather conditions most of the week the bite was slow and the pike weren't really aggressive and sometimes we really had to work hard on the walleyes but we still managed to catch fish everday. Verticle jigging and drifting jigs worked on the eyes and every once in a while it worked on the pike to. I probably tied on a dozen baits for the pike and caught them on everyone that I used except for double jointed Rapala and a chub minnow in a walleye finish. Caught plenty of these for the week My first fish on a suick This next shot was on of my favorites from the week Some of the pike for the week Last morning woke up the sun was shinning for a change but it was cold and snowing Last evening of fishing on Friday night, the wind was brutal and man was it cold, still managed to catch some eyes though Saturday the 26th it was time for the long trek home. Taxi please! On the way home saw plenty of wild life, two moose and a linx (no pics) and a few deer Pretty healthy looking black bear Drove straight through (19hours 45minutes) on the way home only to stop for gas and for some wildlife shots. Had a great time and look foward to returning to Sportsmans Lodge, Little Vermillion Lake. Oh and the fish that made the trip for me, well I waited along time for this one. A special THANKS to Connie, couldn't have asked for better company. Hope you enjoyed my story! Cheers Whopper

tjsa Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 LOL did you leave Connie up there? Nice fish! I do not think ANYONE leaves Connie ANYWHERE other than where Connie WANTS to be. If Connie could live up there permanently, he would. Thanks Phil, first report I read this morning, was waiting for part 2, didn't have to wait long.
