miller Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 made it up to my uncles place for the first time this year. i was hoping to go up on opener but with work and plans falling through with a few friends i finally made it up. hit the road thursday night after i got off work and got up there at about 230 am only to be greeted by a tree laying across the driveway. with my friends car not being too offroad friendly i ended up breaking off many of the branches and holding the tree back while he drove through to the cottage. we unpacked our stuff then got some sleep. got up the next morning to do some shore fishing but only had one solid hit which shook it off. finally at around noon we had a boat set up and in the water and we were set for fishing all weekend. it ended up being one of the best weekends i've had up there. i caught quite a few fish and my friend (not much of an angler) caught his first of 2 species. the fish tally friday i caught 12 walleye. my friend caught his first ever pike saturday i beat my previous day by catching 16 walleye and 1 smallie. my friend managed to catch his second ever pike. sunday i managed another 16 walleye 2 smallies and 1 pike. and after losing 2 boatside my friend caught his first ever walleye and he was really happy monday i slept in and only got out for 2 hours before heading out but i managed another 3 walleye with one being my pb at 4lbs 10 ozs which beat my previous pb by only 5ozs haha time for some pics his first ever pike fish for the evening fry view from the upstairs bedroom lounging around average size walleye of the trip evening view while fishin his second ever pike overcast morning on my way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Gorgeous place there Josh , I'm green with envy . You are lucky to have a paradise like that to spend time ! I'll bet the bugs were heavy there if the winds were down . I noticed you or your bud holding the walleye by the belly .......they will stay perfectly still with that hold , almost like they are asleep . Thanks for the beauty pictures .

Frank81 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Great pictures and nice haul of fish. My mother lives just outside of Burk's Falls close to the Magnetawan and although I have caught some fish there in the past, I have never caught that many in a weekend, haha good job! I am due for a trip to her house a.k.a my free cottage this spring/summer, I am hoping i get the same luck as you guys. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiggs Flannigan Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 awesome Victoria Day pics! Beautiful. Those waters west of Burk's are also teeming with Sauger.... Ontario's little known gamefish. Looks like a great time had by all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
