Maybe its just me, but I have noticed a trend on the Electric Beaver. The Pike seem to be bigger this year? That was our experience this year, catching lots of eater pike along with a few nice fish that were released to swim another day.
Steve & I had one secret spot that yielded nice pike on
almost every pass.
Some joined the trout in the cooler
Others were released to swim another day.
Off the board and very beefy
Good things sometimes come in small packages. Everyone know Gord secretly loves to clean perch so we tried to indulge him. Of Course Billy & John’s patience wore thin after pursuing the wary perch for about 20 minutes and left.
Steve discovered that true bull perch prefer very large baits. This one was tiny but bull perch were soon to follow.
Bill & John decided to try their luck at trophy Rock Bass. God only knows why.
The trout also cooperated.
Walleye’s? Oh yea there were some of those as well.
There were boats in camp that had fished muskie for weeks with only small success. We didn’t even cast for muskie until Friday morning. That could have been a mistake. Bill and I fished an area for two hours and raised 7 very nice fish. Nope, no pictures, no caught fish, just memories. One of the fish was over 50″, two were in the 45″ class. I would have loved to have seen Bill catch one of those on his snoopy pole. Looks like I will have to revisit a few of those boys when I return in September with the Professor.
If you’re looking for an outstanding vacation spot for the serious fisherman or a family get away you should consider Vermillion Bay Lodge on Eagle Lake, Ontario Canada. We have stayed at many lake resorts over the years, but none offer the simple pleasures of this one. The lake is large enough and holds enough fish for the most adventuresome fisherman and yet easy for local family fishing for young children. Bring your own boat or use one of the aluminum boats (20 hp) at the lodge. Boat dockage is well protected from the wind and allows easy access to the water.
What sets this lodge apart from most others is it is always clean, well kept with lots to do including paddle boats canoes, bon fires in the evenings and a just plain friendly atmosphere.
