Got a last minute week off work and decided to head north and explore some new to me water for Musky. Loaded up the jet boat with gear and camped about 15miles from the nearest launch. Only saw 2 other boats in 3 days. Managed one solid Musky around 47", hooked another and saw a couple others. Put alot of miles on the boat and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful weather and seclusion....

Gorgeous photos. Nothing like the north country!!!!
 
Looks awesome. Possibly looks like the French river ??? Those videos of you scooting by those rocks terrified me haha I try to avoid going close to those for the prop and lower end sake and my wallet 😂

Having no prop and a big bumper boat is certainly an advantage on rock filled northern waters 😂 And you are correct, I was on a secluded stretch of the French....

Wow. Find yourself with a week off and just decide to blast off👍. Find a secluded spot and run your toy where few others can/dare to go👍👍. Spend your days chasing musky and nights sitting around your campfire in complete tranquility👍👍👍. Have the presence of mind to post and share your scenic splendour experiences with your fellow "Stompers" - PRICELESS.

Good show. I was rejuvenated just looking/watching.🤤

Thanks @Josh Roelofsen. I guess support from mother Russia might be a bit more complicated now? Is my memory correct that it is a Russian hull?

Yup, was made in Siberia. Suppliers are still getting boats but prices have increased quite a bit....I'm no stranger to inflatables tho and any potential repairs are relatively simple 😉

Josh, you are the king of not only the photography but sharing with us the video experience. Reminds me of week I spend up in northern Manitoba each spring. Fabulous and thanks.

I remember traveling 10 miles down the French from Hartley bay with another boat of guys they hit a rock in the middle of the river in 65 ft of water made me want a jet drive after that nice pics
 
Heading to the West arm of Nipissing this week myself with Muskies Canada for their annual outing. Hopefully it turns out as good as this trip looks!
