May 15 2007-3 Lake Trout (4 lb)

It was good day for fishing on Lake Joe! But it was a good day for fishing on only one side of the boat. It was my lucky day today. I caught all 3 Lake Trout! However; Rick did manage to net all 3 of the fish and none were lost during the landing. This first fish weighed 4 lb 2 oz. The second Lake Trout weighed in at an even 4 lb.
This beautiful speciman topped the scales at 4 lb 4 oz.
All three together!
Here is Rick holding up another successful net job. I took the smaller of the 3 home for dinner & left the other 2 with Rick & Sandra for them to enjoy a delicious meal. The third fish will be enjoyed by the three of us one evening in the near future!
Pike season opens this weekend & hopefully the next post will be just as successful as todays.See you then!

May 8 2007-The Boat is in the Water

Today was my day off. And a great one at that! The temperature reached 26 C, the sun was shining, and there was a nice breeze! Did I mention the "Walkabout" is in the water?
I took the boat out for spin & it rode just great! Time for some fishing! Be back soon with a new post & hopefully a few fish pics.

Good Morning Everyone. Finally got out to do some ice fishing this winter. I went out with Udo and fished on his private stocked pond. We were attempting to catch a few Rainbow Trout or even a couple of Speckled Trout for dinner. However, the fish decided not to co-operate, and we went hungry. But it was a beautiful day and it was great just to get out.

I haven't been fishing for a while, but I figured I should let you know that I am still alive and well! Here are a few cool shots of a Lipstick Plant growing in my spare bedroom.

Fishing Fun-Oct 8 2006

Thanksgiving Sunday and a beautiful one at that! I decided to take the boat out for a good run just to be sure the motor wasn't going to give me any trouble. However, before leaving the dock I made a couple of casts just to see if there was only fish around.And there was! Just a little fella, but it was a fish.
Like I said, it was a beautiful day! The motor worked great!

Fishing Fun-Oct 1 2006

The number of days left are becoming fewer and fewer. So Rick and I went in my boat to try our luck on Lake Muskoka. However; after leaving the dock the motor decided to quit and we had to paddle back to the dock. Fortunately; we only got a few hundred yards away and paddling a Pontoon boat is not easy. We determined the problem was the fuel line.So I picked a new fuel line on my next day off along with a couple of new spark plugs. Now we are ready for next Sunday. See you then!

Fishing Fun- Sept 25 2006

Today Rick and I went out for our final day of Lake Trout fishing. The season ends on Sept 30 and my next day off is not untill Oct 1. However; the Lake Trout were nowhere to be found. Fortunately; the Smallmouth Bass were down 45 feet where the Lake Trout should have been. Rick caught his largest Smallie; a 2.4 lb beauty.Here I am holding Ricks fish.Not only did Rick catch his largest Smallmouth of the season; so did I. This one weighed in at a huge 4.2 lb. This monster was caught in 45 feet of water.
Even Rick had a big smile for this one!

Fishing Fun-Sept 23 2006

Today I went fishing with my no good brother-in law Andy. Andy started the morning off with a Pike caught right off the end of the dock using a tube jig.I caught this 2.4 lb Smallmouth Bass using a tube jig .Andy caught this 1.4 lb Smallmouth Bass trolling.And this monster Pike measuring 38 1/2 inches was also caught trolling.

Although we weren't offically sure of the exact weight, we figured around 16 lb. Great fish, biggest one on my blog this year.

Fishing Fun-Sept 17 2006

With only a couple of weeks left for Trout fishing; Rick & I decided to go out & try to catch a few of these great eating fish. As you can see, we had some success. They were all fairly small; but perfect size for the dinner table.

Fishing Fun-Sept 10 2006

I went fishing on Sunday by myself. ( Needed a little peace & quiet ) I managed to catch 2 Pike & 2 Smallmouth Bass. Unfortunately these fish were all too small to make the photo album. Fortunately; Barry has given me permission to use some of his pictures instead. These are awesome shots.

Fishing Fun-Aug 29 2006
