YAY…Its Gonna Be The Best Trip EVER!!!

Posted by the fisherbabe, under Travels, fisherbabe

GOOD NEWS…We are leaving tomorrow to head out on our big trip to Canada. Lake Waskiaowaka is still frozen solid. The last time we heard there was still 24 inches of ice out there. That is A LOT. A CRAZY LOT.

Luckily, however, we found another lake to fish on and this could turn out to be the BEST fishing adventure of my life!!! I am so excited. We have decided to travel to a different lake and WOW is it gonna be awesome. Now…the first week in June of last year, there were about 27 Master Anglerson this new lake. For those of you who do not know what that means…its a Pike over 41 inches long. Since we will be the only people on this lake for this whole week…I am extremely excited at the prospects.

There are some set backs for this princess, however. There is no running water and I am

pretty damn sure the outhouse is not painted pink. However, I think that I can go without a shower for a week if it means that i am pulling some monsters out of that Lake.

I am very excited about this lake. There will be no wireless so you will all have to wait to see my photos of giant fish.

Tight Lines and Happy Travels~

I Just Need A Little Crack…

Posted by the fisherbabe, under Travels, fisherbabe

LOL – Get your minds out of the gutter. I don’t need THAT kind of crack. All I want is a little crack on Lake Waskiaowaka. If we can just get a crack on it and maybe some thinning then maybe it will warm up enough and the wind will blow enough to blow all that ice off and we can go.

I know its a long shot…but this is a great lake and I really want to go. We have a couple of other options but I don’t know much about those lakes because most of my research has gone into Waskiaowaka.

Last night, I got out the Travel Manitoba book and looked at the Master Anglers Awards from last year. I wanted to check out how many came from other lakes in the area, but all I could see was the HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS that came out of Waskiowaka…

Therefore….I really, really need a little crack ~

Unbelievable…

Posted by the fisherbabe, under Travels, fisherbabe

So…the guys from the camp we were heading to next week just called and said that the ice is not off yet OMG…seriously guys…last year this happened too. We actually booked our camp on the way up to Canada because the one we booked a year in advance was not ready because of ice. I am not happy with ice in Canada right now.

The good news is we have one or two other options…but please…I beg of you all…pray to whatever God you pray to that the ice will be off Lake Waskiaowaka by Saturday of next week

I am an UNHAPPY fisherbabe right now…

Suggestions Needed…

Posted by the fisherbabe, under fisherbabe

Hey Everyone…

So, per last post, I am heading off to Canada in three weeks…yes THREE WEEKS…for some majorly awesome pike fishing. These fish are aggressive and fiesty, but they are also very beautiful with distictive colorations and eating patterns. Pike move with the water temperature and so we will be looking for bends in the lake filled with shallow weed beds.

As I am thinking about my trip and all the stuff that needs to be done before we leave, the thing of most importance on my mind is my tackle box and gear. It is time to clean out the box and take some stuff that I know won’t work out and put in more hammers and generics…

I am interested in trying out some new lures while I am out there. I know that 99% of the time I WILL NOT take my hammer off my line. This lure is MADNESS when PIKE FISHING!!! I SWEAR!!! But…I would like to experiment with some of your favorite lures for Pike Fishing. I will post about my catches when I get back and so you can get a real review of your favorite lures and how well they did in the waters of Canada.

So leave me comments about your favorite lures and make sure you give me the names, brands, and colors that work. I will try them out at Lake Waskiaowaka and let you know how they stack up against my all time favorite…THE ORANGE HAMMER!!!!

Happy Lure Suggesting~

3 Weeks And Counting…

Posted by the fisherbabe, under fisherbabe

I know it has been a while…and I have no excuse. But in 3 WEEKS…yes people 3 WEEKS…I am heading to Canada for my first big fishing trip of the year!!

My husband, father-in-law, sister-in-law, and myself are heading up to Manitoba to fish for some BIG, MEAN northern pike. Last year, my husband caught the biggest fish and it was in the 42-43 inch range. However, this year, I am primed to kick his a**…all in good fun, of course!!

Each trip, we have beads for the person who catches the biggest fish of the trip. We pass them around as each of us catches a bigger fish than the last. It is quite an exciting tradition!!! This year I am super excited to win those beads…I haven’t before and I can feel it…this is MY year!!

I usually start packing a couple of weeks before the trip to ensure that I do not forget anything important. We fly in to the lodge and so if we forget it…TOO BAD. That sucks…let me tell you. Last year, one of our members forgot his jeans…we laughed but it sucked

This year we are starting our fishing trip season at Lake Waskiaowaka with the fine folks at Dunlops Fly-In Fishing Lodge. You all can expect a great review upon my return. If they have internet…I will blog a few times if I can. I try to stay away from the computer though on trips as it takes away from the true feelings of Canada.

The site for the Lodge is http://dunlopfishing.ca/site/. I encourage you all to visit there to see what an absolutely lucky girl I am. I am so excited…I CAN’T WAIT!!!!

Happy Travels
