CFN Retreat Horwood Lake Lodge 2019

Four of us drove up to Timmins on Sunday which was about 9 hours so we could get rested before heading to the lodge to start fishing on Monday, after losing my Trailer Licence plate and the left tail light on the way in we unloaded the Nitro Z6, unpacked and started to fish. I started out mapping the area I covered and Dad, Pete Sr and Pete Jr took #3 Pontoon boat out for a test drive to check a few areas out, after a while I picked Pete Jr up and we where off to explore a new area of the lake to see what we could catch. We ended up doing ok but it was the Pike and Smallies that were more active so we chased them thru the day and changed over to Walleye and Perch after supper to try and cover 4 species to get some bonus points. Tuesday ended up being a lot better as we started to really figure out the Pike and did ok on the Smallies too, this had me leading the group at the end of the day. Wednesday Pete caught a really nice 40” Pike before breakfast to start the day off right and it just improved from there, Pete ended up with the higher points and I was second, Thursday would be my day again with 57 Pike, 4 Walleye and 3 Smallies and Pete had 47 Pike, 8 Walleye and a Perch, I had a pretty good lead in the points race after a gathering in the teepee it was off to bed and back up at 6am for our last fish of the trip 1 caught 3 pike with 27” being the biggest and Pete caught 2 before breakfast on Friday and that was it time to pack and head for home, there was lots of rain and wind with a bit of sun for the 4 days we were there and it was a Great Time with Great People at the 1st Annual CFN Retreat Thanx to everybody that was there and part of a Great Event, See you next year hopefully Tight Lines
