May 11 2011-Trolling For Lake Trout

First day out fishing on the Walkabout. Since Pike fishing does not open for another 10 days we are trolling for Lake Trout. First, a picture of some of the local bird life. Joanne looks ready. I'm not sure if she's out for the fish or a sun burn.

Trolling,trolling,trolling-----

A Pike! This Pike was caught by Joanne. This is her biggest Pike ever! It was 29" and weighed around 6 lb. Joanne likes to catch fish, but still not crazy about holding them up for a picture.

I caught this Pike. It was 28" and weighed about 5 1/2 lb. Still no Lake Trout on Lake Muskoka. Both fish were live released.

P.S. None of these Pike were caught off the dock!
