Got about 12 people in our group and me and my fishing partner can't sleep past 6:00(I GET UP AT 3:50 WHEN WORKING). We have to drag most out of bed by 7:00. Eat a quick breakfast of whatever we took along. That could range from french toast to toaster waffles.We are on our own for breakfast. We all leave together cause we fish a different lake(or 2) every day.Lots of exploring for our group. We carry our boats and equipment in the back of our trucks. We do have some favorites after 10 years in this area. Shore lunch whenever we spot the smoke from the fire that one of the group started, at least when there is not a fire ban. Usually brats or chicken breast or pork chops. Sometimes we don't get fishing til 10:00 because of driving and I don't think it hurts our success too much. Fish after lunch til dimming light,sometimes earlier depending on length of drive back to the cabins. Clean fish after dark usually while the ones not so adept at it get slicing potatos and onions and get the fryer warming up. Love this time of the day .A few cold ones and B.S. We play a lot of eueker(sp.) and bed by 12:00

We have a large group of families and have been going to the same camp for many years. It's nice that everyone knows where and how to fish so we all do our own thing. We'll meet at a beach about noon to eat sandwiches or roast hot dogs. Maybe even fry fish one day for sandwiches. Back to camp about 5 to clean fish, drink a couple, and eat a lot of fish. We have one night set aside where we have an all-camp fish fry. Other then that, we eat on our own. With kids it's tough to expect them to get up early so I fish alone a couple mornings. And guess what? They stay up late playing games and cards. But it's their vacation too and I get plenty of fishing in. I don't go to make it "work" although we do make a portage every trip and that means leave the dock at 6 AM.

Up at 6, minnows at the lodge as soon as they open at 7, on the road to the landing with a stop for coffee and a donut,, boats floating by 7:30, and off for the day. Shore lumch around noon, more fishing, back to the lodge by 5:30 or 6, dinner on and a cocktail in hand immediately while we prep the boats for the next day. Our time in Canada is short, and anything that detracts from fishing and catching is to be avoided at all costs.
Shore lunch is part of the Canadian experience. We start keeping fish on the last day, and have brunch with scrambled eggs, bacon, spuds and a nice melon on the last day so as not to run afoul of the limits. |

Do you have a routine in canada
I am up at 4:30 am getting the coffee and breakfast on for everyone else normally once the coffee smell comes on like the folgers commercial everyone starts to stir. While breakfast is being served at 5:30 am everyone is either fixing lunch for everyone or running to the outhouse. Someone is doing the morning dishes lots of time we use paper or foam. Makes for a easy cleanup. Out on the water by 7 am lunch is somewhere on the lake at noon then another 3 hours of fishing. At 4 pm i am heading in to get supper going someone is cleaning fish and supper is about 5 pm and a few drinks. Some take showers early but usually everyone is back out on the lake at 6:30 pm till almost 10 pm then it is showers and a few drinks and in bed by 11:30 pm. The next day is the same. We try to spend as much time as possible on the lake that is what we are there for not to sit in the cabin.

always begin by trolling 1st island
When I get on the water, I head out from the dock for the first island. then troll the wind swept side as the first bit of fishing. Once there and no fish are caught, I move on to other areas. Have done it for over 20 yrs. except for the year when it was too windy to get out onto the big water.

I'm up at 5:30 or so, put the coffee on, go back to bed for half-hour...back up at 6-ish, have a cup of coffee sit on the front porch & watch the lake wake up (we are blessed with the best cabin at the resort, right down on the water I can spit in the lake from the front porch!). Around 7, rest of the crew starts to wake up to the smell of bacon or sausage frying, I've started breakfast & banged around the kitchen enough to wake them up! I make breakfast-eggs, pancakes, sausage or bacon, toast-and they make sandwiches, pack lunch & coolers, restock bait. Eat breakfast and away from the dock 8:30-9:00. Stay out all day, lunch on the water, back around 5 to clean fish and eat dinner, cocktails & dock fishing until the bugs drive you away, cribbage & cocktails in the cabin 'til bedtime. JULY 27TH CAN'T GET HEAR FAST ENOUGH!!!
