This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Vacation Closer Report - Several Pictures

Post by wolfe »

As the Torpedo reported, we had our last good stretch of time up at the cottage before (@#$%&!) school starts. :lol:

First few days we had Tyler's close friend visit; the boys had a blast fishing, swimming and just being kids.

No clashes with wildlife this time, as in previous visits.

Bass were fairly cooperative, but I just haven't gotten into the sizes I got last year. Largest for me, about 18-1/2" and Ty about the same, but he did boat one heck of a bloated fatty pig that knocked our socks off. Shane messed around with the panfish, perch and occasional pike. He was on fire with his secret bait. Can't tell you how many times I heard, "GOT ONE!"

We also had Slushy and Bowzog from Bits and Baits pay a visit, and we got out for a (very!) windy fish. A few decent bass were found as well as some moderate perching action. I pulled out a personal best perch at 13-1/4". Thanks for taking the time to come see us guys, and also for the great baits for the kids.

Here are the pic's:

Northerns were liking white and yellow spinnerbaits:

Don't usually use the glove, but this guy had Xtra Snot Factor going on.
Image

Devil Loon's pike - he doesn't care to hold them yet.
Image

This feisty guy was caught while I was casting from the paddleboat.
Image

Another good largie
Image

The Torpedo's Bloated Beastie - Oink Oink! He landed it like a pro.
Image

Another view which shows its girth a little better. Fish released very well.

Nice, chunky young bronzie:

And another...

The Rockbass Kid...(He's learning to take his own fish off & doing great!)

...Strikes Again!

More Bassin' Pic's

My Best of the Trip

The SKipper & Gilligan - Ahoy.

My Mom is 82 years old and she also visited for a few days. We managed to walk her carefully down our steep trail and got her into a paddleboat. Not bad for a senior chick! She enjoyed almost an hour out, cruising up and down the shoreline with me. I'm glad we gave it a go!

When I have time, I have some nature themed pic's I will try to post in the Non-Fishing forum.

Gotta run. Hope you enjoyed!

Great report - and those are some really nice fish all round.
Ty's bucket - what a hog!! Any perch north of 10" is a goodun, but >13" is superb! Shane's the Rock Bass champ!
You have to come back again when the leaves change colour, there's a nickel in Wolfe with your name on it I'm sure. The good karma from pulling that hook outa the bass's butt has to pay off!! :lol:

Awesome report as usual. Looks like you had a great time out on the water, and the smiles on the kids faces tell it all.

That's a beauty perch as well. Great colouring.
