limeyangler Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Hi all, School is out for summer, let the fun begin! Took my son Jack up to Lac Seul for the first time last year and ever since our last trip in September 2014 he has been bugging to go back, so back we went! Fishing is kind of secondary on these trips but I love them more than my solo outings and given it is Lac Seul I still usually get to slam 25"+ walleye for an hour or so anyway. Here is what we get up to…… video at the bottom of the pictures. WE ALWAYS STOP AT THE SPRING TO FILL THE WATER BOTTLE, THIS YEAR WE THREW THE MINNOW TRAPS IN AT THE CULVERT ACROSS THE ROAD. WE ALSO STOP TO PICK BERRIES ON THE WAY UP, THE BLUEBERRIES WERE STILL GREEN, BUT PLENTY OF WILD STRAWBERRIES AND RASPBERRIES TO MUNCH. ONCE AT THE LAKE WE FISHED FOR THE FIRST HOUR WE THEN HIT THE BEACH FOR A BOAT PICNIC GOOFED AROUND AFTER LUNCH WENT EXPLORING COLLECTED CREATURES FOR JACK'S 'AQUARIUM' (this is Jack's absolute favourite thing about Lac Seul) AND HAD A SWIM WE DID SOME MORE FISHING AFTER OUR SWIM BUT BY 4PM EVERYONE WAS READY TO GO HOME CREATURES WERE RELEASED AT THE LANDING, AND HOMEWARD BOUND VIDEO
Tomcat Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 I really enjoyed these photos you shared today. Thanks Simon.
manitoubass2 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Nice report Simon!!!! That looks like a great outing?
Beavertail Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 What an action packed trip for your little guy, no wonder he likes going up there! I always get a kick out of seeing young kids develop a fascination for their natural surroundings, good job. Doesn't look too shabby for yourself either, thanks for the report.
glenner Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Boy, that is one "classy" chocolate Lab - he drinks Pellegrino while my chocolate drinks from the toilet! Seriously, just great pictures, I envy you this time with your son as my little girl is all grown up and married. Guess I'll have to wait now for the grandkids to take fishing.
Jds63 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 You couldn't ask for more than a day like that Simon. Posts like that really make us appreciate the times we can spend with our children ..
mr blizzard Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Simon ADOPT me I could be an insant uncle for your son,,,,you and your son Jack personify to the nines the joys of a father son relationship growing up with the great outdoors This just made my day John
Moosebunk Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 You're raising that boy up right Simon. Just awesome!!! What little boy wouldn't love everything about that kind of day out with his dad.
lew Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Your family trips always make for a fantastic read Simon and you pictures are great, but I never know who has the most fun, you, Jack or Roloff
2 tone z71 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 that's living been to lac seul twice myself what a fantastic fishery
OhioFisherman Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 LOL, memories, I always had trouble getting my son to fish, he was either chasing critters, or food! Cool pics!
adempsey Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 Looked like a great day. Good job on the video, I really enjoyed it. Your editing is very well done as well.
limeyangler Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Posted July 9, 2015 Thanks for the replies guys! Sorry it took so long to respond, got my father in-law visiting. I really enjoyed these photos you shared today. Thanks Simon. My pleasure Tomcat, it makes me happy to know people enjoy these posts and pictures, I certainly get a kick from participating in them and recording them. Thanks for the feedback, always appreciated. Nice report Simon!!!!That looks like a great outing Yah, We are wanting to try and take a tent out to that beach this year and camp over night….bug spray not optional….lol. What an action packed trip for your little guy, no wonder he likes going up there! I always get a kick out of seeing young kids develop a fascination for their natural surroundings, good job. Doesn't look too shabby for yourself either, thanks for the report. LOL…yeah its hardly a chore for me is it. He absolutely loves everything outdoorsy. We have just finished the hatch in his army worm 'aquarium'….brown fuzzy moths everywhere in the house…but very cool to watch the whole life cycle. Boy, that is one "classy" chocolate Lab - he drinks Pellegrino while my chocolate drinks from the toilet! Seriously, just great pictures, I envy you this time with your son as my little girl is all grown up and married. Guess I'll have to wait now for the grandkids to take fishing. Lol…I was wondering when someone would catch that, just so you know….he rolls in any poop he finds, deer, horse, dog and even people poo once…..so not so classy after all….lol. You couldn't ask for more than a day like that Simon. Posts like that really make us appreciate the times we can spend with our children .. Yeah, I love our summer outings. These videos are great for me to watch on night shifts when I am missing my little guy. Looks like heaven on Earth ! maybe that's why they call it 'God's country'….or maybe because its only God and blackflies that live here….lol.

Musky or Specks Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 Reports with Jack are probably my favourite.
