Lac Seul Report 6/2 - 6/9

[muc33]

Well, finally back to the drudge of work after a week on Lac Seul. We got on the houseboat at Hudson and really was easy to notice the water levels were down. You hear they are down and can only mentally picture a couple inches... then you get there and you realize it is more like 4 feet. Needless to say we couldn't take the shortcuts to Taylor Island where we land the houseboats. Dave and Irene did say that the shortcuts were open for regular boats just not the houseboats... this made the journey a good hour and a half longer.

Made it out to Taylor Island and landed and got tied down after the 6 1/2 journey and wasted no time in getting in the boats and heading accross to hit some fish. and did just fine. Fished in rain everyday except two and it flat out poured most of the day on Thursday. We caught fish every day. We did the full spectrum of catch... walleye's by the hundreds, Northern's, Muskie, Smallmouth, and Perch. Even caught a HUGE Sucker. Even with the rain, the fishing was great. What a wonderfull fishery! With all the rain that fell, I kid you not, we had to retie the houseboats EVERY day and water levels rose a good foot while we were there. When we came back on Saturday Afternoon, the shortcuts were still closed to houseboats, but with some more rains they should be opening soon by my guess. Be safe out there, and pay close attention to your gps and mapping. We did manage to loose 1 prop on a boat and another lost a Skag. She is low, and new rocks and logs appear very fast!

We had no big monsters, but plenty of great eaters and lots of slot fish all handled with care. Enjoy and be safe, can't wait till next year and of course we were were treated like Kings by Dave and Irene!

I will get some pics posted soon, gotta get caught up on work first. Man fishing is much better.
