Well folks it was definately nice to get out on the Rideau again. I haven't gone lunge fishing in a while and the day was perfect.
We hadn't even wet a line yet, and was just pulling away after saying hello to Slop and Rider, when I hear behind me....BOBBER!
I looked around to see a fight off the bow of the boat. It happened so fast I didn't even have a chance to get a video.
Nice job slop.

Since it was my brother in law's birthday, I decided I would take him out for a little fish and try our hand at a toothy critter or two. The day was pretty slow for us as well, trolling casting, dragging, trying several different spots, looking for just that right kind of weed or some bait fish swimming around. We didn't manage 2, but we did find one later on in the day. Happy birthday brother in law, great job. A 34" Rideau River lunge. Not the largest I've seen, but the size of the fish is compensated by the smile on the face.
Nice!
