Ended up going to six mile lake provincial park and it was beautiful! Started the day off swimming with my sister and mom then decided to go fishing! Went to put my inflatable boat in the water and realized I forgot my trolling motor... Don't ask how I really don't know -_- feeling so stupid and also down as I was looking forward to this day, and there was limited shore access due to a surprising amount of weeds right up to the surface... This was looking to be a dreadful day of fishing (impossible I know). The weeds were starting to bug me and it was the middle of the day so I gave up after catching no fish and just spent a few hours at the beach. Around 4 I went out to the dock where the weeds were a little lower and spent an hour casting a Mepps aglia #4. Saw some guy bring in about 5 pike and 5 smallmouth from his live well in his bass boat and I can't even begin to tell you how jealous I was! After that I finally nailed a fish, not much to write home about but hey it's another pike! 16 inch hammer handle but it had beautiful colours! No camera as we forgot that too... :P I guess this was a day of learning and perseverance to become a better fisherman in the future! Sorry for no pics!

Usually when I'm excited about heading out for a fishing trip I always stop myself while loading my gear to think, what did I forget or do a mental re-check. It just takes 5 or 10 minutes to look over or check your gear. Once I forgot to bring my net and I ended up buying another one, that night I got skunked and I had a new net!!!!! I would have saved myself $17 if I had double checked my gear.

Glad you caught something. Pike are alot of fun to fight. Glad you did'nt quite, you never know the next/last cast may get something.

This is the curse/beauty of fishing.

Hahah totally agree with grub on taking a few minute to think. Cause the things you use the most and is the most accessible are the things we'll forget the most. I have forgot my tackle box once.... I never heard the end of it from my friend. Good thing for worms lmao

Heading to The Park in a month (have to check with the boss for site number) and plan on using one of those Adventure Fishing Maps to get around. Anyone have any accuracy advice on those maps as far as "walleye here" and "NP here"? How about some PM info on spots for Walleye, Bass and Pike? I know the basic areas (structure based like weedbeds, rocky shoals, etc) but I expect to be in the "small" portion of the lake, before heading into the deeper section of the lake (not sure if I'm allowed to name the islands I plan on going no further than). I have a 13' car-topper and a 9.9hp, so I don't think I want to do too much work in the larger portion of the lake.

Oh and as for the Park - how were the docking facilities? I've heard/read various reports that there are some free docks but most are for-pay docks. I've just come back from Restoule and for 15yrs I've beached it when not in use. I'm also familiar with chaining a boat to a tree overnight, so long as there are places for this. Any experience?
