Back from the cottage
We love this cottage.
It has a great beach, dock and Lake. You can boat north for over 70 kms and not see another cottage.
This year the fishing was great at the begining of the week but tailed off after the wind storm which uprooted trees and knocked out our power for 2.5 days. Here's David with a nice walleye.
This one Sarah noticed the hit and reeled it in all by herself.
Here's one evenings catch.
There's nothing I like better than fishing with the whole family and we did plenty of it this week. One morning I came back after fishing with 2 walleye just as the family was getting up, so we and we fried them up and had them for breakfast.
Here's me with one.
The final tally was 16/17 on walleye, 3 pike, and one bass. The one we lost (butchered netting job) was the biggest - probably a good 5 lbs.
One of the other highlights was a waterfall that we boated to. It had a natural waterslide which would take us in the current and bring us to a safe spot downstream.
Good times.

Nice pics guys. Looks like fun. Tell me something- who's the tall, skinny guy in the last picture? It looks like Duane Lite :). Keep up the good work big guy (meaning good exercise and less chips :)

Optical illusion. That fish is really a 10 pounder :)
Yes, take my word for it that is Duane.

Great stuff! Did you guys fish near town at all?
Dave: one morning I trolled the area by the chain tree and only picked up one walleye. All other fish were caught trolling north of the cottage.
Wasn't able to do any still fishing because Sam the Minnow Man died and nobody else sells minnnows in town.
I did get 3 walleye trolling blue fox spinners tipped with worms on the downrigger.
Very interesting about the blue fox spinners. Maybe that's something to try on Lake Erie!
How was the swimming? Warm water?
I had a traditional worm harness on one rigger and the blue fox on the other - only the blue fox got fish.
Swimming was good. Temp was 72.
