Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Walleye opener - Great weekend

Paul:
Good afternoon sir and Holy Smokes!!

I'd have to not wear a hat for days - for fear it'd get stuck on - if I caught B&C perch like that!

Thanks and congrats.

Dwayne

Nice work brother Paul. 👍

Cheers Jud !!

Took Deb for a staycation at a local fishing lodge, for the weekend.





















We had an awesome time !

Paul;
Top of the morning to you sir!

Thanks so much for sharing the photos with us, I can't imagine a better way to spend a weekend than outside with your family, doing what you all obviously enjoy!

The only downside I can see is you're going to have to suffer through eating all those sumptuous meals.... the horror....

Seriously sir, thanks again for sharing your bit of the world with us, it's always much appreciated by me.

All the best to you all this week Paul.

Paul, from the bucket I'm guessing you're using minnows.

We were casting perch coloured walleye rigs, with a worm.

Yes Mate, 1/8oz minnow tipped jigs. Flick out & hop back.

Lots of hits on the drop back !

Cheers Dwayne !

One tip, ....... don't take your wife fishing from a luxury, extremely comfortable, pontoon boat !

Paul, do you send your wonderful pictures to your poor brother (girlfriend/spouse marooned in what was it? Oklahome or Nebraska?) I recall it was not one of the beautiful states, nor one teeming with wildlife and fish other than pheasants..

Its a bloody sure thing that you have settled in a great place, and that you won the lottery with Deb.

You are a wealthy man in all the ways that matter!

(still drooling at the walleye pictures -- my favourite eating fish.

Cheers John.

Blessed in many ways, for sure.

My youngest brother is in Ohio.

Paul;
Good day to you sir, I hope you're getting the weather you need and all in your fine family are well.

Thanks again for the wonderful and colorful photos.

While I'm not the world's biggest fan of avocado, that actually looks quite good!

If you knew how much of a fan of avocado I'm not, you might be more impressed or at least surprised by that statement too.

Thanks again and have a good one.

Dwayne

Simple & delicious summer grub;

Last of last weekends walleye !

New_2_99s your evil!

My big decision for the day is which fast food restaurant hole am I going to eat in tonight.

I have been following this for a while with more than a little envy on your catch limits and also the meal preparation.

Alberta is quite restricted on limits with slots sizes, low possession limits and tags. We finally got out yesterday to a non tag lake that you are allowed to keep 1 walleye in a 45 to 50 cm slot size. First fish was 42 cm and the next one was 49.75 cm (so dinner). 12 fish caught in total for 4 hrs on the water. All were measured and released except the one. Four were in the slot size and the rest were under. My partner kept a 46 cm. The fish I kept allowed for a nice meal for three of us with a bit of left overs for my lunch today.

I do have tags for another lake that will allow keeping two 43 to 50 cm so our fish meals are quite small.

My tummy will live through your posts. Keep the pictures coming.

Bumped.

Free fishing this weekend in Ontario for Father's Day.

Did anyone in Ontario take advantage of the free fishing weekend?

Not us, yard/garden work Sat & rain & wind for fathers day.

All licenced anyway !

Just an FYI, in Ontario, service persons - active and retired - do not need a fishing license. As well, those persons over 65 do not need one either.

Over 65

The persons described below can carry a licence, permit, certificate or identification card issued by a federal, provincial or territorial government of Canada that indicates their name and date of birth and use it as a fishing licence.

Ontario and Canadian residents who are under 18 or 65 years of age or older.

Individuals, regardless of residency, who require the direct assistance of another person to fish and to follow applicable laws due to a disability defined in the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ex. blind). If the accompanying person is only assisting, they do not require a fishing licence, but must have one if they engage in fishing.

Active or Retired Military

Finally, Ontario residents who are active members or veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces can use one of the following documents as a fishing licence:

Canadian Forces Identification Card (NDI 20)
Record of Service Card (NDI 75)
Canadian Armed Forces Veteran’s Service Card (NDI 75)

Was aware of the over 65, but not the service, non requirement !

Good deal, 10 years till free fishing !

Wonder if this applies to hunting too ?
