Heck ya I love fishing up there.
Looks like some fighters, congrats.
Thanks for the pics and report. Nice fish
Good looking fish.....always wanted to catch some of those.
G you should go its like no other so much fun.
Yes it is so different. The northern are wild critters when you get them in the boat. Very careful unhooking them. Husband got 1 hook in palm of hand, 1 in finger and another in pants leg just trying to unhook them. Also use steel leaders. Those teeth will cut mono and braid quicker than scissors. Fire tiger flicker shad caught most fish. Caught a few on minnow and crawler rigs. Husband had one northern actually bite him when he got his finger close. I told him they can be mean critters. Trolling is how we fished. Yellow perch we used bobbers and crawlers.
Maybe we should put a trip together next year.Quote:

Yep toothy critters. One did bite my husband when he got his finger to close. Had to use needle nose to pry mouth open. Lots of yellow perch too but eating size was hard to find. One northern had perch inside it when cleaned and another full of craw dads. Dry ice kept fish solid frozen for two days and one night. Fish in bottom of cooler, dry ice on top and then filled rest of space with towels to keep air out.
I have made several trips to Mackenzie Lodge on Lake of the Woods. It is about 15 minutes east of Kenora Ontario. Takes about 18 hours to get there. They have 16 foot prince craft boats with 50 horse motors trolling motors and livewells. They have small graphs but I think I would want a small portable graph with GPS. Rates are by the room instead of per person which saves a lot of money. Clay and Jeri are great hosts.
