Hi everyone, hope you are all being safe, social distancing and taking care of yourselves! For those of you whom read this and are from the US, you know the insanity which is happening all around us, simply sad to say the least! As I was coming back from fishing with Magoo this evening, I thought of a new way to interpret the crap with our government. 2020 is an election year and the stupidity that is evident in all phases of government led me to one simple conclusion, REMEMBER! Come November, before you cast your vote, REMEMBER how your elected officials took care or even led any of us during the Pandemic. Hell no it is not over, will not be for a long time, but enough, REMEMBER, I sure will!
On to brighter skies, Manitoba reports NO new cases for the 3rd day in a row, yahoo, good for you! Now onto the US fishing report!
Magoo and I spent time today on Gravel Lake near here. Holy hot dog people did we catch fish and Pike, Biggins too! We caught a bunch of Pike, and one small walleye. Kind of weird how 1 11 inch walleye was in with a pack of Pike, but hey they gotta eat too!
As I was reeling in the jig, BANG a Pike hits and tears off line! As I bring her in I see the ICHI Pike, HUGE HEAD but tiny body! What’s up with that I say, but Magoo quickly jumps off her perch to check out the commotion. She licked, bites and plays with the fish as I unhook and let go for another day! Magoo is getting better folks, she even went swimming today, loves the water. Water temps are quickly rising, so the bluegill should head to the shallows quickly on Metigoshe, home of the 12 inch Bluegill, at least there used to be some there!
As we fished the noise was different and we were quickly reminded how serene and peaceful the Happy Camp Region can be, AAAHHH!
Speaking of aaah, I think we may try Ceviche with the Pike. I have heard great things about it, found a recipe and will need to gather some ingredients but what the hell, nothing ventured, nothing gained eh!
On another note, I hear the Rainbow Flowage in northern Wisconsin is going strong for walleye. This is a short bite people, when the Mayflies hatch it gets very tough, but head out to the east area with leeches ans slip bobbers. If you need more info on that shoot me an email and I will gladly turn you on to them.
With that I shall end this report and finish off a can of Old Milwaukee in honor of my dad, Happy Memorial Day everyone. Stay safe, keep your distance, wear a mask and take care everyone!
