Sat June 4
Arrived at the in-laws later then expected but we got to the Prov. Park Launch by 6:30 missed the sunrise
. Boy the parking was full.. Only 2 trailer spots left when we got there. I bet the parking at the village launch was a nightmare.Launched the boat quickly (hey they changed the ramp and docks.
..not sure if I like the new setup)Got to our chosen spot dropped the lines and started trolling. As with DV8,,, had a fish on within minutes, and then another and another but all small. They kept us from getting too comfortable.
By 7:30 we had worked our way up towards the village end of the Big waters and encountered this. Most of the boats are in the back ground and there were just as many to each side of the cameras field of view.
At least 20 boats in a 2 acre area
no way was I playing bumper trollers. We pull lines and head to a new local. Had a coffee and a nibble to eat (2nd breakfast).More small fish then Bang (or I should say pop)
9.5lbs 27 inch
(only 1 fish pic taken, Father in-law didn't want to take em or be taken with)
Total for the 2 of us on Sat. was 15 in the boat, Largest 9.5, 6.5, 6, 5, 4 lbs and alot of smaller ones. We also dragged a few around the lake. Had a few really hard hits that I would have loved to see but they didn't like the idea. All the fish were caught around 20' down in 70+ FOW
Sun
The morning was much quieter, parking was plentiful and we found the fishing a fair bit slower.. Picked up 3 quick fish with the biggest at 5 lbs.
The fish were really scattered. Went into Runnings for a bit to give it rub and printed fish from 10' all the way down to 168' in 298FOW some of the hooks were huge. Only had one hit there,,it peeled off about 20yards of line and then was gone. No idea what it was (suspect a pike). After that we called it a weekend.. Now I'm at work to rest...
Sounds like you guys had a good start to the season.
Great stuff Andre...
