Of course we went fishing, again! Baker Island, Great Slave Lake.

Decided to scoot a bit further from Yellowknife Bay this time. About 40km southwest to Baker Island. I am still a bit weirded out by the fact that I still cannot instinctively tell the cardinal directions during the day! Nothing freaks out a forest monkey out of the tropics more than having the sun follow a horseshoe path around the horizon .....

I am tempted to get an underwater camera so we can view the fishies under the water. It's exciting when they bite the lure, but that is only half of the action - I bet it would fun to see them chase the lure in the water itself, from the vantage point under the water.


                                       





                                                                    

We still haven't quite figure out how to get the whitefish and trout.... but it was still a blast fishing out monster pikes out of the weedy banks.

They (pikes) are still chilling out in the cooler..... waiting for me to clean them up! Yum!

  1. Looks like that was a lucky day for you! And you must be really a skilled at fishing to catch those huge Northern pike fishes. I agree that it would certainly be fun to see them chase the lure under water. I hope you’ll be able to have a camera for that soon. I'm looking forward to read more about your fishing journeys. Thanks for sharing with us, Nakhoda! :)
