I'll Pre-Cut You!

Hey all,

Just a note that this blog is not fishing (NF) related, and as a result, I will break my rule of not using real names.

So, I'll Pre-Cut You! is my wife's sister. Her real name is Arlene Paculan and she is a musician, actor performer, and has been performing at various venues in the Greater Toronto Area for a while. You can check her MySpace site out here. She has very eclectic influences and you can hear that in her music.

Well, last year she had approached me to play some back up for her.  I had been jonesing to perform, and decided to help her out. This turned into a regular gig for me, and a great way to get my performance fix.  You can see some of Arlene's performances (with and without me) here.

Anyhow, check her site out.  She is super talented, and worth the time!

I have added a permanent link to her MySpace site in the links section.

Lower Buckhorn 2010

So, we had such a good time at the cottage on Lower Buckhorn that we decided to go back.

This time, we were with Musky, Sir, Pink, Knot'Yo, Cut You, The GodFaja, The GodFaja's girlfriend - Ninang, Duk, and Duk's girlfriend - The Hobo.

If we could describe the weekin one word it would be rainy.

There was rain nearly everyday, which limited the fishingenjoyment.  However, this did not stop us from some memorable fishing.  Musky Hunter outfished Sir and myself combined on one outing.  She also had a musky to the boat - using a senko no less.  Sir also had a musky on,but not landed.  I, on the other hand, actually landed a musky.

I didn't say it was a big one..

I caught this little guy on my new favourite crankbait - Koppers Live Target Bluegill - cranked over a drop off.  Here are some other pictures.

Buckhorn 2009

So, I wanted to do more than just camp this year.  So, after some research, I found this great little cottage for rent on Lower Buckhorn in the Kawarthas.  It is part of the tri-lakes, along with Upper Buckhorn and Chemong; and is known for great fishing.

So, we pack our things and head up for the week of the Canada Day long weekend.  Along with me were Musky Hunter, Sir, Pink, Knot'Yo, Pre-Cut, as well as my parents.

We got there and found a wonderful little cottage that felt like home.  It was cozy and was located in this quitet little cove on the lake.  Better yet, it had some great fishing - right off the dock!

I must say that one of the things that really struck me about this lake was the beauty:

Back to the fishing. It was good.  I caught my first fish on a bass jig.  I caught my first fish on plastic frogs.  I caught my first fish on sammy style topwater baits.  It was a great week for fishing.  Here are some pics:

And although we brought some friends to the party, that didn't stop the catching...

Me with the Knot'Yo's co-angler, Kakka (Italian for Number 2.. I think)

All in all, it was a great week, filled with lots of fish and relaxation.  It was so good that we decided that we were gonna do it again.
