Paul;
Happy Tuesday morning to you my friend, I shall dispense with the usual salutations for obvious reasons!

As always I love your photos, even though yes the size and quantity of the Yellow Perch do make me more than a wee bit jealous.

That is a cross I choose to bear opening your posts!

Thanks again and all the best to you all.

Dwayne

Yes Paul, colour me vert with envy!

Heading up in 2 weeks for 5 days at buddy's cottage. We should still be into the early bite then. Always look forward to it.

Save some for me!

To many options, west of town, for me to fish your lake Richard !

Lemon pepper & garlic butter basted;

Nice --- I love seeing your meal preparations. Once again I was drawn for 2 --- yes 2 tags so we will have a feed of somekind just limited to the choice in preparation.

Hmmm. I guess I should have a look at the boat.

Have a great time Marty !!

Man, it's greening up fast.

If you're coming this far, be sure to let me know.

Cheers to all the Dads, had a great day here, fishing with Doug & Sophie girl.

Fish fry with the kids & their partners & 6 out of 7 dogs !

Did I mention, Soph loves Grandad !

















Life is good !

Nice Paul! What's your favourite method? We were doing good on perch coloured worm harness with a stinger.

At the moment, they're hungry & shallow, Marty.

Jig & minnow, all day long.

If we're scouting for fish, appropriate bottom bouncer for depth & I'll run a slow death & rubber worm & buddy will run a spinner & minnow.

Can cover ground quicker - 1.0 - 1.2 miles per hour !

Doug & I fished for less than 2 hours, to limit out, yesterday !

One of the best walleye bites I have experienced, without it being spring.







Every fish, smashed the bait !

Instead of our fly in trip next year we are looking at setting up a wall tent on crown land and fishing some small lakes East of Nipigon. I hope to get up there in the next couple of weeks just to poke around and check things out.

Cool !

Just so you're aware, non residents require a camping permit, approx $10/person/day & you are restricted, by how close you can camp to lakes.

Can't find the distance anywhere, but thinking it's either 100 or 500 metres !

I have to hit Devils Lake or Stump lake shortly. My nephew is catching up to 28 inch walleye and lots in the 20 plus range. He teases me with pics. Edk
