Soggy Shirleys Bay and at last a Ling!
Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2017 4:30 pm
Was out on Shirley's Bay Friday evening. Slick and wet. The shacks are coming down fast. Any open holes are getting pretty big but still a lot of Ice. There was only myself and one other group fishing and someone dismantling a shack in the distance.
I should be writing all of the above in three weeks but this has been a weird winter.
Now for the good part. I heard activity over at the other group and a sloshed over to see what was up. Nice big Ling. As I was admiring the fish we noticed the telltale blinking of scarkners bite minder in the distance so I did the slip, sliding , sloshing sprint back to my lines.
At last! My very first Ling. I know a lot of people do not like them but I think they are an awesome looking fish. Worth the effort. I hope I have a couple more chances this season! Now I want a big one.
