We targetted multi-species as always and did some travelling as well....hooking up with old friends along the way made our trips all the better...
We started with 4 days in SW Ontario on the Great Lakes.....Had some hot summer salmon action aboard the Striper...

Birdee landed a new PB for our household with this salmon that was pushin near 30 pounds...

We slid down to Erie for a day to fill our coller with walleye...

The Bows are always a hoot....Birdee and Markus had a great time with this double...

One thing that has always puzzled me...is why I can't find crappies in the summertime....so I spent a few nights fishin to see what I could find...and low and behold...

We were fortunate enough to come out on top at a "Couples Challenge" that was put together on one of our local lakes...A couple of Old Hawk-Talkers Canadian Bacon and M.T.Livewell were our adversaries...what a great day....
