Prepping for vacation…

Well, the striper fishing is still lousy, the water is too warm and the bluefish too numerous. I’ve rescheduled all of my trips this week for later in the year. I’m using the time off the water to pack for my upcoming trip to Canada’s Gods Lake Lodge in northeastern Manitoba. I fly out early Friday morning (Yes, it’s the 13th) and spend the night in Winnipeg. I’ve hired a guide to take me out on the Red River for some monster catfish. I fly from Winnipeg to the lodge on Saturday morning and will be fishing for trophy pike, walleye, lake trout and brook trout. I’ll spend 9 days fishing from sun up till sundown (sunset is about 9:20 at this time of year). The lake is an amazing place, about as far removed from civilization as you can get these days. I’ll be surrounded by eagles, loons, bear, moose and carribou… I’ll be posting daily reports and lots of pictures so keep checking back!
