Pike Fishing Ontario, Canada 2011

What better place to start my blog career than posting a few pike fishing pictures from May 2011 in Ontario, Canada? I'll keep it short and to the point for my first post.  I traveled to Canada with some great guys from May 20-27, 2011.  We stayed at Singleton Lake http://www.singletonlake.ca/facilities/fishing/  It was my first ever fishing trip north of the border and it didn't disappoint.  Our target species was the Northern Pike but there were several other species that decided to join in the fun.

In all, there were 6 of us that went on the trip.  In our cabin was my brother Steve and good buddy (and weekly fishing partner) Wayne.  We had an absolute blast chasing around these toothy critters.  If I remember correctly, the 3 of us totaled nearly 300 fish.  I don't have totals or pictures of the other 3 guys, sorry.  Steve left after 5 days and will NEVER hear the end of it b/c we caught some of our biggest fish over the final 2 days.  A special thanks goes out to Mr. Tom Gonya for inviting us along.  It was the trip of a lifetime.  Thanks to Pete (owner) for the outstanding hospitality.  The trip cost roughly $400 per man. You just can't beat it!
