Day on LBC

Farted around on LBC.  Caught lots of perch in 10' of water on south weed line and some gills.  Fun.  Access very nice.  

Good opportunity to fish without a bobber...just a jig and worm and let them feel a bite with the aggressive perch.  

 Shane took this picture of Josie mid-jump.  We swam half the time.  The float pods on back of boat make it easy to get back in.  

Shane geared up.

Day on Chase

Took out kids, picked up mom.  Kids were catching sunnies with the net, up to several at a time.  Just a couple nice gills, but couldn't really find the big ones.  Really nice day.

LOTW 2019

Lake of the Woods 2019.  Headed up Monday morning, June 10th, came home Thursday morning June 13th.  Stayed at Birch Point Provincial Park.  Sweet campground.  Great people, great site, great fishing right out front. Arrived and fished first day, caught 10 fish between the two boats on spinners/cranks.  Day two was shut down by a thunderstorm.  Day 3 was a great day with Shane and Josie both catching walleyes all on their own on cranks.  Josie notched two over 18" and Shane reeled in a nice 19 that came as part of a double with Jadon.  We tented and friends Mark, Ty and Tatum slept in their camper.  Weather was great, no hotter than 70 and just a little bit of rain that second day.  The morning that we left, the wind blew hard into Buffalo bay and fishing was bad.  Talk of the Natives taking over the campground and shutting it down next year so we may have to look for a different spot for spring trip.  Kids had fun.

Jadon caught most of the fish.  Was really helpful with the little ones.  Last trip for him most likely for a while as he's off to see the world.  

Campground was amazing.  Will be sad if it's shut down as it is enjoyed by many.

Excel boat and 65 horse two stroker exceeded expectations.  Handled well in big water.  30 mph easy at 3/4 throttle.  Need a trolling motor.

Shane's first legit eye.  19".  Then he text his mom the message below.

Lots of snacks and drinks.

Josie the eye slayer.

Fishing report: Have been out 3 times by May 28th.  One time on el Meche by myself.  First time I failed to catch a single fish.  Water very high and very dirty hard to get on fish. Went with friend on lake with limit of 5 sunfish.  Caught 13 eyes in 1.5 hrs in 15' of water right where the weeds stopped and the sand began (south end).  Very fun night.  Cloudy and cold, with a little rain front moving in right when we left (north wind).  All fish caught from 545-715 pm.  Size range from 14-18.  Next night, same spot similar weather, but a little colder.  9 fish, same size range though a few more in the 17-18 range.  May 26 & May 27.  Haven't been able to get out much at all because we've been getting house ready for grad party.  :(
