Couple of Pics from the Wknd
Not too much fishing time, but we try to get out in the boat at least once while we're up working at the cottage on the wknds.
I have more photo's from past wknds, but they are tied up on my currently dead computer (fried router), so they'll have to wait for another time.
I'm also having a little trouble uploading the other photo's that are on this laptop.
So for now, just a couple of pics:
Hot, Bright Summer Afternoon = 22" Walleye. Go figure!
Tyler got a couple as well in the p.m., but I can't get the pic's up.
Shane with a Rockbass
The time spent fishing has been brief, and basically unremarkable. Smallmouth are hitting, but so far they are all in the range of 15-16". Lots of fun, but I'm waiting on the 19-20 inchers. We'll see. Plenty of time left, I hope.
Cottage is close to having the major stuff done. I'll try to figure out what's going on with the uploading problem and get some updated photo's up. It's been great to spend a little time there and see real progress.
Full moon over the lake and loons wailing make all the back and forth driving well worth it.
(Of course, we could do without the Swimmers' Itch.)

Hey Wolfe,
Beauty 'eye!! Mine came on Sunday under the exact same conditions - funny how it works like that sometimes..
Good to see the little tykes are feeling better!
Those big smallies will start showing up soon....as soon as the leaves start to change colour!
Good Fishing,
Justin

Funny about that walleye...
Against kids' pouting and protesting (they wanted to swim & raft) I told them I wanted to first take a few casts for some pike. I have a nice spot in a back bay I like, where there's a lot of weed growth and then a nice, deep edge along one side. There's also a lot of good perch and panfish for the kids, so I thought they'd be content for a half hour. Tyler was starting to complain "there's nothing biting" when I had the walleye hit.
The walleye was a bit of a surprise, and as walleyes go, this one fought better than any I've ever hooked. I thought it was a pike, and even after we glanced it, Brian kept insisting it was a pike. So it was like a comedy with us shouting back and forth: "It's a pike!" "No, it's a walleye!"
I remember my brother caught a very nice walleye on Pike Lake on an ungodly hot day -- middle of the afternoon, sweltering and a bright, high sun.
They are usually a challenge (walleye) and that's what makes them fun for me.
Thx for the nice responses. I wish I could get out more & have some better reports!

Not one itchy red spot to be seen! Nice 'eye, and nice colours on those fish - I love it when kids get into bass and go nuts when a fighter is on the line.
My 11-yr old got into her first smallmouth last weekend and broke the tip of her rod - like a one-pounder, but too much for her micro setup.
