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!

Back in the North for some fishing

A bit smoky on the water, but not Smokopoliptic like last year.

Scooted to the Mirage Islands to do some fishing - so far all we get is pike. But Pike is good fun to fish :) nothing beats a nice day out with fishing gear and friends. Well.... maybe a day out hunting deer in the bush comes pretty close. Hehe.

This is actually "Angry Birds Island" - so named because it has a huge colony of gulls who WILL dive bomb you
in your boat if you get too close! Real Angry Birds!

Smoky out here

Catch of the day. Maybe about 10kg of fresh pike! NOM!

Always a fun day out, when you hang out with people you like!

The water around the little islands was almost warm enough to warrant a swim! Should have brought my neoprene wetsuit with me. 17 deg C is about the threshold swim temperature I can handle for about 30 mins .....

Definitely going for more fishing this weekend, then!
