Season Endings Big Fish Bendings.

[Moosebunk]

Bit late coming around with this fall recap. Haven't done nearly as much writing this year but Coral's char and the Sutton speck reports were quite big undertakings that drained the batteries.  Anyways, the fall fishing this year was incredible. Muskie fishing was beyond expectation, very pleased plenty homework, tweaking of this and that, some experimenting plus the new boat all worked in my favor.  One of our OFC'ers here, Clive, met up with me twice and he wasn't disappointed. Dood surely brought the luck with him and we had a couple awesome big ski days together, 50+'ers galore. Family and friends came aboard for sturgeon and walleye as well.  Not as many days put in for those fish, we all made it count when given the opportunity. Biggest was a 66-incher that took me for one heckuva drift.  Anyhow, it's hyped, typed and ready now at the site if looking to click on over at...

Excellent Bunk. The Yammy 4 strokes really are bulletproof. Never have I seen such a reliable motor.

The pics of you and your daughter are priceless. The two of you will cherish those pictures for years.

Great report and great fish !

[captpierre]

Yah. You suck at fishing ?. Thanks for that!

[misfish]

Got to hook up on the ice this year dude for some whities.

 

Enjoyed all your write ups this year.

[AKRISONER]

Damn you got enough fish there to make musky stew for the next 50 years 

unreal report as always, glad this one popped up while I’m spending some time at the hospital with the girlfriend, makes the time pass a little quicker.

Thanks Brian.  A chance this winter I may tempt a Simcoe road trip with some ice fishing gear and snowmobile in tow this March. Have never done it, would like to do it.  If so, I'd love to meet up with ya for a fish or two.

Spend alotta time living in hospitals too, and know all too well how these write-ups help pass that time.  

Can't say I've ever had muskie stew. lol

Now that Bunk and I are nearly neighbours, you might get a two’fer of visitors bud! I’ll be making the trek “home” 3-4 times at least to crush on whities at my fave spots!

 

killer write up Bunk, you sir are a master of the muskies!!

[mepps]

It was great to finally connect in person and get some fish! I'l never forget those big muskies - thanks for making a dream come true, brother!

I'll start growing the beard soon for next fall!

[limeyangler]

That MUSKY! You need to learn me your tricks. You need to visit and take me fishing Bunk, show me how its done in my own backyard!

[Chuck Enwinde]

Good stuff as always Bunk.  When I saw that first pic of Clive, I thought you're beard had got away from ya a bit lol. 

[bigbuck]

That's a serious supertanker musky there Bunk!! Great Job!!!

You know what I need Jesse, an extra month of March and the back half of February to last about 4 weeks. Just to more easily cram an ice fishing life into that window of time.  It's a road trip possibility though, have wanted to get to Simcoe for years.

You're a beast either way bud, beard or no beard. Won't change the luck you bring.

It is hard, hard, hard Simon to break away from the fall muskie & sturgeon fishing here at home, to drive 24 hours and start at ground zero during prime time.  But that said, I'd be stoked to meet ya and give Seul a try. Would like to meet Ben out there too.  Have another couple invites to be guided on Eagle Lake and my buddy Pat bought LOTW Lodge in Nestor Falls as well.  What a friggin' road trip that would be.

lol... I'd like to grow there but mine looks stupid cause it starts going sideways to the right well before it reaches Clive's length.

Thanks Buck.  Good numbers of big fish boated this year. Both hard work and luck.

I do.  Used to get in about 30 days a season, now it's about 10-15.  Mid Feb to late March be the only ice season time available now.  Love lakers and whiteys these days, used to be pike and eyes.

Thanks a tonne Greg. Friend of mine sent me a pic of his dad today reading a report of mine on Arctic Circle Lodge on Great Bear Lake.  His dad getting primed up for a trip there this summer. Being that I've always liked to write, it's certainly great to hear that people enjoy reading.  Happy Holidays to you both.
