I got away for a real short time and made a few casts. One small northern and a small pickerel.. At least I didn't get skunked...

Friday 6/18, headed to Eagle Bay to spend the night to fish the Old Forge Fire Dept. bass tournament on Saturday.  After registering we had time to hit a little Brook trout stream.. Nothing big but caught a lot of small native brookies..

  If we were pike fishing we would have some good bait..



 And more of these little guys.. 





   Saturday 6/19. Sunrise over First Lake..



  Loaded for big bass...



We had lunker fish with a 4.8 lb Large mouth till this guy weighed in this one at 5.2lbs..



I wish I had more pictures of our fish, here is our basket..



   We came in 1st place with 5 fish weighing 20.10 pounds.... I had a great day for being in the back of the boat.. I had only 7 fish with just 1 being under 4 pounds....

WOW!!  That's incredible DOM!!!  My Dad & I tried the weed beds at the mouth of 3rd Lake Creek Saturday for about an hour and didn't even see a Bass.  I'm going back after seeing your catch!!  You guys are GOOD!!

Any chance you could PM me some Bass tips up there??

[Raquettedacker]

   Wish we ran in to each other.......

Way to go Dom!!! Sounds like you guys had the hot bite. Like they say a lot of good fish equals a win over one big fish. Though catching the one big'en is fun too. Great pics of a good time.

Just found this thread. That looks like a great spring trip Dom. You guy's sure have a great variety of fishing up there. Keep it up.  I don't know what to say about Issiah's journal except WOW.

Thanks, Bogmanjr...   Spring trip is always great... Just happend to catch a lot of fish this spring....   This past weekend was something else.. Catching the brookies was as much fun as all those bass......    Well almost..

I have to go try for some of those. I heard of a place not to far from me that has a decent population.
Going to start diversifying a little now that the trout are slowing down...
Nice looking fish!!!

7/9/10  Headed to camp for the week.. Had great weather, great times with some great people and even caught some fish....
 I didn't get to hike into any ponds but hit my new favorite brook trout stream...Caught lots of nice little natives.




 Caught some of these.



  One of these..

  
  And some of these.


  And a lot of these..


 But these were what I was there for.. This was my best at 11 inches..




Got up early one morning and headed across 4th lake to pick up a good buddy of mine..Looking across Eagle Bay at 5:15 am.

I picked up Scott and we trolled for a few hours and had some hits and lost a few..
We went into 5th lake where Scott caught his first fish on a top water lure.. I got so excited when that fish hit I swallowed half the chew I had in my lip.

He got another smaller one and I got a real small one..



I want to thank Scott for a great morning.. I had a blast...  I hope it is just the beginning of many more trips...

Great pic's as always Dom. Gotta love the fiesty little native brookie's. I have 2 more weeks of work before the annual summer trip to camp. Can't wait.
