A VERY Greasy start to 2015 open water season....
A VERY Greasy start to 2015 open water season....
Eastern Ontario boasts countless fishing opportunities. Often we struggle on what to do on any given day but this day we had it planned long beforehand. Lake Ontario ice-out Lake Trout. Joining me on the day was bro-in-law Gord. We had a blast!
Shallow water (35-45) trolling was the ticket. Every fish came on a blade of various colors. Mag Spoons were getting the most action. Off riggers or lead core on boards it didn’t seem to matter. The fish were hungry and we wailed on them!
Launched at 830 and fishing by 9. At 9:15….
From here I have no clue the order of fish but they came fast and furious.
A first for the Lund. A Quadruple Header. Crazy.
We filled the livewell with the 39 degree lake water and kept fish lively as the mayhem ensued. A Triple and a pair of Double Headers followed. Pure fun.
Gord's new PB...
We pulled lines at 2:30 and headed for home. Overly satisfied with a 22 for 25 effort in a half days fishing. What a fishery.

Really healthy looking Lakers there RJ!
Please tell me you had to run a long ways, otherwise I'll be kicking myself for not getting my 16 footer down there, LOL.
