I tried to DVR it, but failed.  Just switched from Cable to Dish and the DVR is a bit different, apparenlty.  I think I have this Thursday's set up to DVR.  I will let you know what it is like.  

Tim A, since we live so close, maybe you will have to come over for a viewing and a couple beers?


Any excuse to drink bee Winkr---and I can't think of any better excuse than Quetico! I'll call or email ya later in the week when I know my schedule better---definitely sometime though Smiley

QJ'ers will find Stu's account of this trip in the current issue of the BWJ.  Just received my copy yesterday.

Expect to find the usual suspects at the usual "honey hole", catching the usual fish.  

QP, I sure wish WE could have found that Conmee honey hole! Not that it would have done us any good, however, according to Stu.  He says that your tried & true GULP doesn't catch'em.  He laments the changing Q rules banning natural bait.  

This might be a job for your "Secret Bait", QP!

Jimbo   Cool

P.S.  It would appear that Stu did not take advantage of the portage "short cut" I had suggested to him.

Stu is the master of misdirection. They never went to Conmee, it only has Q carp. Come to think of it, where did they catch those chubs?? Roll Eyes

Maybe we need to put an investigative team together and track the BWJ boys on their annual late June Walleye trip to Comnee.  It certainly couldn't be that tough.  We could find their honey hole Smiley.

I am kidding of course.  To be honest, I would rather keep searching for my own honey hole.

I have another question and this is coming from a numbers guy - me.  Who on here counts the fish they catch?  People always ask me how many I caught?  I can give them an estimate, but I don't count x over24", y over 28".  It wouldn't be that hard to count the big ones, as I don't catch that many big ones, but I wouldn't know if I caught 17 or 23?  It seems like they must have a tally going when they fish?

Sorry to inject this into this thread, but I skimmed my new BWJ article about this trip.  They did catch some serious walleyes.

Mav,

I got to agree with the underlying sentiment you've expressed.

Seemed a bit like a meat factory tally to me.

QP & I DID search Conmee for their Honey Hole (based upon clues in previous BWJ issues) but w/o luck.  We were largely unsuccessful, however, because QP was using GULP & I was using lures larger than most of the fish we caught.  QP caught every bass in the lake... despite informing me as we portaged in that there WERE NO bass in Conmee.  Unfortunately, he was fishing for walleyes. 

I, myself, was fishing for Pollyhumpers.  We didn't catch any of them, neither.  I suspect Stu would have made quite a fuss about it had he caught one of those (OR, one had caught HIM).  So, don't expect to see THAT kind of action on his video, either.

Jimbo   Cool

Did Vince Lombardi fish? I'd always keep score when I went with a particular friend 'cause it seemed to me he was mathematically challenged and that would always tick me off. First fish...biggest fish... (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) my most memorable fish of all time. Funny, it now looks even bigger than I remember.

I watched the program.  It was more of Stu talking than it was actual fishing.  It interviewed 3-4 of the guys on the trips and they told why they went to the BW/Q.  Stu talked about Sweat Equity a few times.  It did show some pics of the larger fish caught.  I liked it obviously, as it was about Quetico and the Boundary Waters, but it was more of an interview than I thought it would be. 

I don't recall that it named any lake names, just talked about Quetico in general.

Saw it today too Maverick

I too thought it was more of a vignette on what the Q was all about...not much fishing.  That was a nice Pike and Walleye!  I wondered how much "earlier" they had been caught, before filming was able to take place?

Mid June....fishing looks good.
