Subject: Eagle Lake with the boys!


Hey Everyone,

We just returned from a fun trip to Eagle Lake. I took my two sons, and one of my youngest son's friends, and proceeded to do battle on Eagle. Well, battle we did! I've never had fish so wild in my entire life. The fish fought with wreckless abandon. We caught 12 on Eagle for the week, and 5 on Stewart one day. It was fun, and the rods were bending. With youngsters in the group, we weren't on the water much before noon each day either!!

On Eagle, every fish was over 40"....41-52"...with 5 over 45"

So, the muskies are bitin' on Eagle...everything caught were on Spanky's, Cowgirls, Mojo's, and Gerry's Girls. It seemed when we were on the rocks, they wanted the heavier baits of Gerry & Spanky...if we were in the weeds, you could only run the lighter Cowgirls and Mojo's.

So, if you go...load up on the big bucktails!

Have an awesome day!!

Donnie

Cory,

We did our own dinners....I made anywhere between 10-14 burgers in the afternoon when we came back to camp to eat. Fish fry night, Herbie made the boys wait until last in line...LOL...he was afraid there wouldn't be enough fish! Yes...Colton is 13, and he is 5'9" and 165 lbs. I know they all said to say "HI."

Sled,

Yep...look forward to seeing you too! It will be fun! The kid with the Detroit hat on, even in spite of his hat, caught a 43"er our 3rd day, and the 52"er the last day. It ate in a figure 8, and it was pretty incredible!

Yep...it was an awesome trip! We had a lot of fun!!

Donnie

Got Esox,

We charge our headcam, video recorder, etc. with an inverter and the stray battery. We try to get some good video when we go...doesn't always happen...LOL!

Donnie,

Headcam? Where can I check these out at? We tried to get some good footage on our trip to LOTW with two cameras in the boat and three guys we thought it would work out well. Wrong! Stupid fish... lol

Go to the Chip, and it is the basin just to the west of Eagle's Nest Island. Kind of a secret name we use for it. Obviously the big fish set up in there and it's a lot cheaper than goin to Hayward!!!!!!!!

Esox50,

We got ours at circuit city...it is last years model, and this years model has an awesome lense...last year's was a bit grainy. I'm trying to buy "just" a lense.

We got some real good footage these past two years...where it is sweet, is when a big fish comes in on a figure 8 and you get to see it all.

Finally got out of the woods with the pneumonia...I'm much better now. Thanks for asking...fishing was really cool watching those heavies come screaming in eating in figure 8's.
