Thursday, June 06, 2013 Stayed on Oyster, again all day, don't remember finding any pike, but I stayed on the Trout. Think I caught 3 more that day, nothing very big. Mostly running the finger tip to the two south eastern bays. The whole entire group caught one or two Pike. I think I was the only one that did my research on long lining/lake trout fishing in a canoe.lol. I eventually got one for everyone to pull in. They are a great fight! That one lure was the only one that was working though. It was still cold for June this year. I guess some other campers were having some limited Small mouth success hitting the shore with a(gold and black)3inch Rapala. I gave about a 10 percent effort on that and didn't catch much. I have caught more then a couple smallies on that lure since, thanks guy. They stayed on the "Pinch" site and said the wind really sucks there. Nice guys, they gave us there left overs on their way out. Thanks!! Freeze dried hash-browns are forever on my list now. Apples are still my favorite though.=) Northern lights were amazing this night!!
