A couple of fishing trips

On Monday the 21st of September, Terry G, John H and I headed out on our fall musky trip. We drove to Baudette and stayed at John’s brother’s resort overnight and the next morning we drove to Kenora, Ontario where we launched my boat and went to Pipestone Lodge on Lake of the Woods. By the time we got to the Lodge and checked in it was about 12:30PM before we got fishing. The fish were real active with lots of follows but I caught the only muskies for the trip.

This first musky was a 31 incher.

Here I am reeling in the money winning musky for the trip and Terry is getting ready to net the fish.



This musky was the money winner for the trip, a nice 46 ½” Musky. As you can notice Terry is trying to get into the picture.



The next day we did not catch any muskies today and only saw a couple.

On Thursday the 24th we saw quite a few (9) muskies, but could not get any to bite, but John and Terry were both able to land 36 ½” northern during the day.




















Here are a few pictures of the area. Thanks to John for all the pictures as both Terry and I forgot our cameras.

During our last night we had another guest take our picture during supper. Here is Terry, John and I.





After supper each night we went out and caught a few walleye to bring back. Never had to go more than a couple of blocks to catch as many as we wanted.















When we got back home on Friday I had to get ready to leave the next day to spend a week in Hayward, WI with friends Terry S and his wife Elaine. Then on Tuesday Elaines sister Dee and here husband Marlin came over. We spent the week fishing for crappies and playing cards and domino's. The crappies were biting good enough that everyone was able to take their limits home.


Here is Terry S getting ready to land what we figured was a musky, but as these things go when using 2 and 4 pound test line, it eventually broke off. Probably was a good thing as Terry would have had to buy a new net after trying to get a big musky into that net.

Now this is a depressing sight that we woke up to on October 9th. Even though we know it's coming it would be nice to have the first snowfall later rather than sooner.





We have finished with the remodeling of the house, now next spring we will have to get the furniture buying done. Here are a few pictures



















Until next time,
