Mike the Pike Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) First weekend this year Camping we booked a site at Voyageur Campground just off the Ottawa River. Believe me the Kids were excited.A chance to catch frogs and fish and my son was dirty enough to do a Tide commercial. Our site for the weekend. This is what the woman do when the boys go fishing Play scrabble.(BORING) This little critter saved me from a complete skunking Saturday. Fishing in the slop. On the way back the wind was brutal all alone in the canoe getting back to camp took for ever I really missed the convenience of my tiller boat but at the same time I really enjoyed the total peace and quiet.Just the calm of Nature.Did I say I miss my boat motor lol. My wife and daughter with my daughters friend. My family. Fun with glow sticks and sparklers. A little bass caught by my friend Serge. Serge and I could not bring our boats this weekend because we had our tent trailers. Back up is our Canoes. only a 250 metre portage down to the water. While I paddled serge had the luxury of an old Johnson 1.5hp mounted to his canoe .Got him around quickly . Ya thats why my fishing sucked.No Motor. I did see a huge Muskie jump out of the water 30 ft away . Couldn't catch him though Me trying to locate the fish. My son and daughters caught hundreds of these all weekend. Well we had to pack up and leave a great weekend with family and friends. Man it was the perfect weekend nice weather such a nice place I did not want to leave. Sorry for the lack of fish pics.

solopaddler Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Looks like a blast Mike, thank's for posting. On a side note, Scrabble is NOT boring . Sometimes we have all day marathons on rainy days at the cottage. Gets pretty competetive too. My sister in law is a linguist and it just KILLS her that she's not able to beat me .
