Weekend @ Bernies


Gerritt

Recommended Posts

Our day started off with Corey and Bill picking me up at work and heading off to Bernies! Just so everyone knows Bernie is one Class act, I would be hard pressed to find a friendlier person anywhere. He was certainly a great host and I am honored to call him a friend.

 

You will see a couple posts with pics as I was unable to take all of them so Corey will contribute as well.

 

I have never fished the South Shores of Lake Nipissing before... and it is COMPLETELY different fishing compared to the methods I was used too on the West Arm.

 

anyways enough blabber onto the pictures!

 

 

This is what greeted us as we made our way up the 400... To my surprise the traffic was pretty good! Made for decent driving once the storm passed...but MAN was there ALOT of rain and lightening!

Wow! I don't know what more I can say about this weekend. I don't know how I can possibly thank Bernie enough for being such a great host. This weekend had everything that any of us could ever want. It started with pretty good traffic, even though we drove through a tornado. We found Bernie's place in no time, got packed into the boat and then scooted over to the cottage. We have lots of laughs, lots of fish and all came home with amazing memories.

 

Bernie and his brother Mike are both amazing fishermen. Not only do they know the area very well, we caught fish at pretty much every hole we pulled up to. It was a hard bite, but we did manage to tempt the hungry ones at every place we stopped in to fish.

 

Bernie pretty much hand feeds some of the woodpeckers up there, pretty cool to see them from 4 feet away.

Bernie has the cutest dog for sure, very well behaved and we spoiled him with lots of yummie meat all weekend.

While we were going for a rip out to a fishing hole...

We saw a pretty neat rainbow by itself up high in the clouds.

Some of these pics that Bernie posted are the same as the ones below, but you can't imagine what kind of a surf and turf meal we had Saturday night!

Here's a pic of Bernie after a long hard day of fishing, living the life we all wish we had.

Wow, I can tell by looking at the pictures that your days were not only filled with fishing and friends, but the most beautiful landscape.

 

Congrats on the huge haul of fish. Absolutely amazing...

As previously mentioned Bernie is a great guy... enjoyed myself and I know that Gerritt and Corey enjoyed themselves too... We had great weather, great food and fishing and great company the whole time.... I dont think I could imagine a better weekend. Thanks again Bernie couldn't have asked for a better guy to put up with us...
