Our family spent the week at the cottage on Callendar Bay with our friends the Smith family from Texas. Walleye fishing was good as always and my son & I boated over 80 'eyes in 5 outings. There are lots of small walleye in the lake which is a good sign for the future as well as a few over the slot size too.
We kept enough for a couple of fish fries and set the rest free. There were also a few "blue walleye" in the mix again.
We were also lucky to spend a couple of days with Dan Colomby from Nipissing Muskies who is a very interesting guy and awesome charter operator. Texas Collin managed a 43 incher the first morning which was a real thrill. If you are ever looking for a professional musky charter on Nipissing or any nearby lakes, you will not find a better guide than Dan: http://nipissingmuskies.com/

As usual, we always seem to run across someone doing something stupid and here is a photo of this year's candidate. He was fishing all morning with 3 rods in front of a bunch of boats and really didn't seem to care if anyone noticed or not.
