[French River Hitter]

Southern Ontaritonians winter fever-breaker is near!!!
What are your plans for the long weekend?
I will be slaying untapped and unfished giant pike 5 miles deep in the bush in French River Country. I will send pics IF I make it back!
Hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend!

I excited FRH.

Most of the morning today I've been cooking and prepping the grub for my long weekend on the French River. Leaving friday morning and coming home for supper on the monday. Got a cabin to stay in just on the boundary of the old Moose River reservation land. Heading about anywhere from 15-45 km up the North French and probably stopping at the furthest where it meets the Wawawayokastic (Weak) River.

Walleye, pike and trout be the quarry, chased with a few brews and good times.

Long weekend eh...

Well one of the ideas we shot out there was going to Dunnville to try for walleye, provided the river is in good shape (Grand River).

Other than that, no idea. Maybe take the bass boat out for it's first spin this year... I'll keep my fingers crossed!!

Oh and definitely a whole lotta catfishin'

Well I'll be up at Franklin Island, Georgian Bay for the 28th year! Small derby amongst 20+ friends. This year I'm hoping to hit a home run, Pike,Walleye and Trout. Pike has to be min 25" Walleye min 19" and Trout varies on species as to length OA. Hasn't been accomplished in 15 yrs now but I'm going to give her! You only have 45 hrs to fish, midnight Fri. till 9pm Sunday,"derby rules". My son gets the tsunaimi seat this year, just hoping his youth will keep his old man going

Hey FFF, it's on bud. A little friendly competetion for nothing between you and I. I too have decent odds of catching brookies (and the spot I'm headed my buddy pulled a 23+ incher out of there last week), walleye are off the beds too and feeding so I'm hoping for at least greater than 23" to better my biggest this year, and any pike over 32" would be nice too. I'm not shooting to beat the 40" I got on Kesagami though, but it'd be sweet.

You haven't done it in 15 years, I haven't been fishin' much more than 10 and have never pulled this grand slam off myself.

Good luck, looking forward to your derby report.

I'll be heading to Westmeath, my best friend lives in Ottawa and he wanted something close by. I get few chances to fish so I went for the 3 day weekend instead of hooking up with Fish Hawkers, Perhaps I made a mistake.

I'm hoping the weather is a little better! but I'm ready for Artic conditions.

Can't wait, 14 of us heading up to Duncan Lake (Gowaganda area) First time on this Lake should be great. This is the head water for the Montreal river system which feeds the Ottawa. Should be a blast, will post results when i get back on Tuesday.

Im heading up to pigeon with a few guys.

Id like to say good luck and a safe weekend to everyone that is travelling and heading to the best places on earth UPNORTH.

goodluck
