657 km a a few beers and some much needed laughs.

Well... I have been pretty absent posting here for a while 2 kids in 2 years and a  pandemic what can I say.    Was supposed to go to Nipigon this year after skipping last year due to the 'vid and the birth of my seccond child.   Crown land camping was up in the air till last moment this year and so one of the regulars took a contract to frame a few houses with no guarantee we were going to be able to go. So we cancelled .    

 

 We all had some vacay planned but the 15 hr drive would cut into fishing......Plan B 

We endeded up north of North bay and south of New liskard.  Boats loaded heavy enough to not get on plane for the 40k  ride  in, mostly beer and single malt  weight. Lake was down 4 ft of water, unpleasant as the fist 20 k of our trip was normaly through 10-15 fow only kissed once ,  We got pounded by 40k wind the first few days not able to fish prime spots.

Enough with the negatives, what we did have was a few days of stellar  fishing 20 -25 inch walleye and  two years of chirps and laughter saved up, made for a wonderful  release.   Even ran into fellow ofc'er chuckenwind up there was good to catch up, Haddent seen him since we braved the snow one fall like lunatics to chase Auroras dropped In the wrong lake a bunch of years ago... long story.  Even rumors he caught a Walter of a lifetime.  Maybe he can chime in with a pic of the beast. 

 

Hope everyone's doing OK. Hopeing to do a little more fishing this year.

 

 

 

Here's the goods.

Hell ya man!

I did a similar trip this spring too. Need to get a full report up, we got a lot luckier with the weather but it seems like you did a bit better on the fishing!

glad to see you back hopefully you are free enough to do some more posting, been a bit of a ghost town around here lately. Truthfully seems like a lot of the guys are retired from fishing/physical limitations limit how often they can go and poke a few. 
 

what you are going to have to do is teAch the kids and bring them when they are old enough. Then they can be the ones chirping you old farts

Was good to see you up there too Freshtrax.  Here's the big girl I caught near the area you pointed me to.  Think my buddy had his camera on Bigfoot mode unfortunately.

Looks like a great time had by all, and some good eyes too.

Feels great getting out and getting back to a little normalcy.

Congrats on parenthood as well, you have been busy.

Great report...man that fish posted by Chuck is a SLOB. Sounds like an awesome time...better to fish in some tough conditions than not fish at all!

Thanks for taking the time to report, I miss the rocks and tree's being out here on the prairie we've got lots of walleye and water but the first 2 are in short supply
