Thumbs up Buck Lake Report. Pictures and Video

Was out on the Buck Lake yesterday for the first time. 2 feet of ice, drove on it no problems. Fished in 10 to 16 FOW. Was expirementing with bait yesterday, small jig and fin from Salmon belly, see this Thread for details
Around 11 o'clock I've caught first Pike, then Walleye, and then 3 more pikes! That was some crazy action, everything happend, like in half-hour!
Check the video HERE

Afterwards it got pretty slow, fished for another 1,5 hour, managed to catch 1 small pikes each, and called it a day...

No keepers, but what a blast!

Got my first Walleye of the season!





Thanks for watching!

Tight lines!

the white fish are bigger than anything else in that lake on an average weight jumbos. 1.5 lb perch if you know where to find them . most walleye are under 50 cm hard to get a keeper.

The Alberta record lake whitefish was caught in South Buck lake 18 years ago.
11lb. 10 ounces.

Another good video! I recognize a youthful camo wearing stud-muffin in it! Angler, you didn't show the pike that I caught... It came out tail first, wrapped in my leader!
What bait and set up would you guys use for whitefish at Buck? That's one specie that has been eluding me. Do you need to see the bait, or can you go by feel? Thank you beforehand.

No offense brother) I screwed up with camera and started shooting to late, that footage wasn't great. Also because I'm a selfish and I didn't want to share the glory with you. LoL

Default Drive on?

Where do you get on the lake? I went to Buck with a buddy over the summer and the boat launch at the provincial park is blocked off with pillars so we had to hand launch the boat. I'm curious where you can drive on to the lake?

In the town of buck lake or the north end campground there's boat launches. The east campground boat launch is blocked off for some reason
