A good start!

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

A good start!

Post by Peron »

I braved the wide open Shirleys Bay this am with wind gusting upwards of 50km. Happy to get out but it was a short stint and I was skunked. Decided that I would get out for the late afternoon/dusk bite since I wanted a fish on my opening day but the wind was not any better, the temperature had dropped, so I decided to hit a sheltered location at about 2:00. Turns out the wind did not care that it was sheltered. However, the fish were happy:

Lots of marks on my sonar so after the pike I cut up some minnows and was rewarded with a bunch of perch. Called it quits early due to cold!

Got home a few minutes ago, thawed out my face and before I posted this decided I needed a "cold one". Weird eh? Must be a Canadian thing. :D

Happy Rod
