LOL...

I guess all is cool . It's amazing how every camp on the lake is looking around corners and whispering the words RHYBAK in fear that he isn't in their area for moment his bait touching the water will mean a sudden demise in their walleye population..Bwahahahahahahahahahaha Twisted Evil

Poor John! If he weren't so %#@& lucky, none of this would be happening to him! Rolling Eyes

He would be better off to release those bad boys and keep his luck to himself. The tales around the table are always better without the evidence anyway. Laughing

I think you guys are being modest. Embarassed

If I'm in a tournament, and I need a big fish in the boat to win, I'm not looking for a rookie partner who is oozing beginners luck!

In my opinion it has more to do with being in the right place, right time, with the right presentation.

Most of our largest fish have been caught trolling or casting crankbaits; although Walleye Willy's 11lbr was caught bottom bouncing.

Another observation is that the larger fish typically don't hang out with the smaller fish; likely b/c they can't compete...so we tend to go a little bit deeper...same area, just deeper. Willy's fish was sitting on the bottom in 25 FOW when we had been catching 3 lbrs at 10 fow.

Cheers, Kevin

Wow, nice fish!! The biggest wally I've ever been witness to was Capt. Guy's 10 lber. He got in 8 ft. of water on a bluebird day around noon. Go figure!!

Kevin, how much are you and RHYBAK paying Ian to hook you up? ( I know Ian is a diver) Laughing

speaking for myself, Maybe in reality you two are about the only two who have it all figured out...I will admit I surely don't have it figured out. I guess we are just all jealous. Maybe there is a little more than luck to it?...

All I know...is next year I'm sending spies! Shocked

When you hear the brush rustling or see some strange bubbles in the water, or get that tingling sensation on the back of your neck that someone is watching you ... maybe someone is! Twisted Evil

I will get to the bottom of that secret one way or another! I am sure one of those satellites above your head can be compromised and will show us what is going on!

Rest easy for now!

Brad, You have a trip ahead of you to watch Kevin fish. It took us 4.5 hours on the bush road last year. Can we say Ogascanan!
Cheers Laughing

LOL.... Don't kid yourself.

The ones that really have this lake figured out are Shrink and all of his fellow fishermen.
They catch lots of fish,lots of big fish and just keep it to themselves.(and theres nothing wrong with that)
I saw them in action this spring and this past fall.
You want to talk about a bunch of guys that know what they are doing.

I couldn't compete with them if I tried.

Brad,

You are more than welcome to follow me around anytime; no suba gear necessary (perhaps a 6 pack of Bleue?). But your suggestion about me having them figured out makes me think that someone in your house left the diaper pail open. Shocked

The only time I will fish walleye is the week I spend on Ogascanan; outside of that, it's bass, sunfish, catfish and if I'm lucky a striper or two.

If you are looking to follow someone around, you might consider starting with Rhybak (maybe he'll be less modest in the boat Embarassed

)...after that, there's at least a dozen better walleye fishermen on this board than me, that I would start with first.

On Lake O, we have found a handful of areas that should produce in various situations. When they don't, I like locating new areas based on maps and conditions. This drives Cap'n Rob nuts at times, b/c he is so damn impatient, but that is part of the fun...at least for me Rolling Eyes

Anyone who has been on a trip with me knows that I go to fish. I put my time in on the water, which is not that hard when it looks like this.

Luck? Sure it plays a part. I remind myself that my next cast could bring in a 5 pound Snubnose Trout of a lifetime. Very Happy

Cheers, Kevin

Sure wish we had more time to look at views of the lake in person like that this year Kevin. To me, views like that and peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, breathing crisp clean Canadian air with the hint of pine scent and the haunting cry of a loon on a smooth as glass lake far outweigh any fish big or small. THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT! a time to recharge the old mind, and get back to the way things otta be! MORE SIMPLE

Here is to a mild and fast winter season, and time for all to get back up on Kip!

Jay, it was the road condition, horrible is an understatement. I always take my boat so that slows me down a little. Most years with the boat it takes 2.5 to 3 hours. With no logging the roads aren't touched. It's too bad because as much as we like the big O we are thinking of going else where next year. The outfitters are trying to get the roads fixed but are receiving no help from the goverment. Second trip last year we went to Senneterre outfitters, there was 50 miles of bush road and even pulling the boat I drove 50 miles an hour. that is mining country and since they are still working the road conditions are great.
