Fellow blogger Brett from Apthorpes Fishing & Hunting Adventures, just got back from a late June 2010 fishing trip with Air Cochrane to their Nettogami Island camp. Brett has an excellent detailed report at his blog. He also has a lot of videos to give you an idea what the trip was like. Here’s a small excerpt…
That evening we helped our annual Lake Nettogami fishing contest by which the boat with the most total inches of fish caught in a two hour period would win. Big Shu and I were in a boat, Ben, Jake and Charlie in another, with the Wilkes comprising the third boat.. We headed to the place on the lake that produced well for us at the end of last year’s trip. Taking advantage of a North-west wind Shu and I drifted over the roller coaster shaped lake bottom catching 150+” of fish in the first 30 minutes.
This tranquil state of fishing utopia was suddenly interrupted by Charlie yelling at us while Jake drove their boat up to ours. Charlie complained that his fish had swallowed his lure and needed help getting it out. They were awed by our total fish count that I shared with them while big Shu removed the lure from the pike. Then Jake, with a devilish look in his eye, wished us well and told Ben to shove their boat off. This grin did not fade as he drove the boat 20 yards down wind from our boat where he stopped the boat and started fishing. Each boy promptly caught fish while drifting over our fishing hole!!!! They proceeded to always stay 20 yards in front of our boat, catching fishing, and quickly passed the 200″+ count. Shu and I shouted angrily at them, calling them unethical, and other such words that should not be printed in a public blog, and which only seemed to fuel their delight. Needless to say, when the two hours were up the boys contended to be victorious while Shu and I claimed it was a victory shrouded in controversy!
Doesn’t it sound like a great time? So, check out Apthorpes Fishing & Hunting Adventures for more details on the report.
