Default Hot August weekend

A few pics from my weekend, I will also post the link to the album since there are 60 in it.
sunset just before arriving at the campground


numero uno taggero

the usual pike bait.

first of a crapload of bait stealing goldeye hookup was maybe 1 in 10, they have worm stealing down to a science, note the surprised look when I actually got a hook into him!

little walter

a short run to the land of "warm or pay an extra 2 dollars a dozen beverages" its plus 35 degrees, of course I will take the warm ones silly woman!

my tagging setup, rubber coat to keep them out of the sand

my silent observer. more on him later

another one ready for the new jewelery

and the elusive sauger

Default and some more

woke up in the middle of the night to a commotion, I thought it was raccoons trying to steal my cooler, turns out my trailer was being mobbed by a huge ball of bats, right out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie. when I opened the door one decided to check out the trailer, and joined me for the rest of the night. They may be silent hunters outdoors, but in a small trailer he sounded like a helicopter flying around.


the usual gratuitous beaver shot

cigar sized sauger

my third of the weekend, a bit gimped but still beautiful to me


and the 4 footer I caught and tagged Wednesday evening

and my latest entry into the strangest thing Ive ever caught while fishing category is.... went up the hill to get cell service, so I brought my line in and left it hanging on my chair, came back to this bait stealing bugger that ate my minnow and managed to hook himself



no harm done except to his pride. saw another smaller one steal someone elses minnow from their bait and run away with it too.

I appreciate the posting of your pictures. It gives me insight into an area of Albertan angling I really would like to get into more.

Default Sandy Point

Amazing photos of the snake taking the bait. Must have been quite a surprise for both of you !! Great spending time along the river with you both, best of luck with the tagging program.

I am betting thats the same snake that appeared out of nowhere when I turned to step onto the path, the one I taught a couple new words

that would be on the Monday I guess. was talking to the retired guy up the beach and watched a smaller snake steal one of the minnows he had laying on the ground as well, maybe they make a habit of it in that park. at least they werent rattlesnakes, if they were Id have had to cut my losses and my line instead of getting the hook back.

Yet another good reason for barbless hooks !
