We launch the boat by 0735 and the skys are grey and there is a little chop on the water, still not that bad of day. We decide to bet two dollars each for the person that catches the first fish and wouldn't you know are good ole buddy Mike catches the first walleye just around 0930.
And here is the fish
We fish for awhile longer and Tenline Catches a Sheephead and it is like pulling in dead weight and he finally lands the big guy.
We continue fishing until approx.1530 without any success so we decide to get off the water and head to Merlands and check in and wait for our other group of fishing buddies who were suppose to be there by then.
Shortly after checking in at Merlands I meet Bender and talk to him briefly and seen how his day was going.
Here is a picture from cabin 10.
Our other group of Rob, Frank and Randy unload there stuff and are raring to go hit the water. They tell us they had hit quite a snowstorm coming through Kingston but fortunately all we got was some cold rain.They get out fishing until dark and Rob has lande a smaller walleye and thats it for the day.
Saturday we wake up to a picture perfect day and the sun breaks out as we head out from the launch and it isn't too long when I catch my first walley of the day.
. Tenline gets a hit shortly after but the wind picksup and he tries to manuvuer the boat and ends up handing his rod to Mike so he can keep from going in circles, somehow Mike hand the rod to me but I notice there is no weight on the line and we end up losing whatever it was. We kid Tenline that it was a bad knot and he says it was my bad landing skills and we get a good laugh from it anyway. It must of been a bad omen because just shortly after that happens our boat motor decides to die on us as we are bobbing in Adulphus Reach. We are able to contact our other party and the pull us to shore and that puts the end of our fishing for the day. Bummer! Anyway Tenline and myself take the boat back to Merland and Mike, Randy, Rob and Frank head back out and work their way back from the cottage and believe Randy ends up catching a Sheephead. They end up getting back to Merlands by 1500 and Mike and Randy give up their spots and allow Tenline and myself to get out and try our luck. Unfortunately that was it for the day. We try our luck near the Tip of The Bay Marina after nightfall and Frank catches a walleye in the slot size and ends up returning him to see another day. That is all there was for the night so we call it a day. The next morning is check out so we pack things away but are still determined in spite of the rain to give one final kick at can before heading home. We head back to our launch up at Adulphus Reach and all six of us board the boat set the planner boards and down riggers and have two fishing off the back with very little luck until Are caption asks if we had enough and no sooner do we decide to call it a day Tenline has a fish on and brings in the biggest fish of the weekend.
Just under 10 lbs. We continue fishing for about another hour the wind picks up and the rain starts falling harder so we call it a day and put this one in the books to another great fishing experience. Hope to get to do it again next year.
