Canada Bound

I just checked the calendar and counted the days...only 23 days and a wake up until Veronica and I leave for our annual migration up to Andy Myers Lodge on Eagle Lake, in Ontario Canada. I will have to cram 2 weeks of fishing into one week this year. I am hoping to get my trophy fish in 3 fish species...musky, walleye and northern pike. Opposite of what I have been doing in years past, I will be downsizing some of the lures that I will be using to catch some of these fish. I found out that the larger bladed bucktails were giving my old joints and back fits so this year downsizing is in order. If I fished with the larger bladed bucktails everyday, my body would get used to it but when you only throw these baits once a year, it can be quite the shock to the body. I am hoping that one of these days, I will be in a location where I can fish daily for these types of fish. It will be great to get away for a week and I know Veronica could sure use the break after the last 5 weeks of punishment that she has taken over the whole store remodel. Hopefully I will have some great photos and stories to share with everyone.

Thoughts about our Canadian Vacation 2008

Every year that we go up to Andy Myers Lodge on Eagle Lake, in Ontario Canada, we always seem to learn more about the people, the land and the beauty of this amazing area in Canada. I always learn something new about fishing this great lake and the techniques needed to catch not only quantities of fish but also quality fish. During the off season I always think about the really nice people that live and work at the lodge and on the lake. From the owner of the lodge...Steve "Herbie" Herbeck, some of the great guides that help you catch fish no matter what level your talent might be...Mike, Scott, Darcy, Cal, John and all of the others, to the young ladies in the kitchen and waitstaff...Teresa, Tracy, Snooky, Shannon and others along with the dockhands and of course Terry, who is a man of all trades and always willing to do whatever you need...to all of these nice people who work so hard to make your vacation and work so hard to make your trophy fishing dreams come true...A big Thank You!!!! You are all very special people to Veronica and I. Until next year.....
