What a great morning to get out. Not stone cold and wind was nil. Walk was very pleasant to my surprise. Set up by 5:30 am ( claim my 1km no entry territory ) LOL I could not believe the amount of fish I marked. The screen always had something going through. Problem was, these fish were cruising. I went through about everything I had that works, yet, they just looked and moved along. After about 2 hours of this,I finally hooked up. I really didn't get a good hook set,as the line went slack real fast , probly swimming up with the meegs in it,s mouth. Lost it half way up the water colom. Frustration was starting to set in. All these fish,one hook up that unbutton. Decided to move away from this spot. Yes,they were still coming through. Set up again and it,s the same frigg,n thing. Fish coming and going. Time for a coffee so let the meegs dead stick. As I am pouring,this mark comes in level with the meegs. The rod tip bounces. Thats it, but fish is still there. Lower the bait,it follows. Ok a fish that want to play. He stuck around for about 30 sec then finally smacked the bait. This fish was pretty strong compared to those I got last weekend. Once I had it top side,it was a stocked fish. All the others I have caught have been naturals and didnt fight like this one. I wonder why ????????????????????? Maybe cuz they never die. LOL I bled this fish as I always do. 2 hrs later,I am home cleaning it. Slice 2 sides off. While I am doing that,the tail flips up. Go to take the ribs off and the meat starts pulsing. This freaked me right out. Not just one side,but both. Even while taking the Y bone out,I could feel the meat pulse. It,s in the fridge resting coated in flour right now. If it pulses when I go to cook it,this fish is a steroid freak.LOL Anyways,sorry for the long BLA BLA,but thats my day. Freaky Saturday.

Fishing for me last time I played golf the only 2 good balls I hit all day was when I stepped on a rake

Hey Sinker Perfect IMO

Hi all, This is a long video of the remaining highlights of my recent shore fishing antics in Antigua.

Was out on Cooks yesterday from 6:30to noon. Bite was much slower than the previous week. Tried many different presentations, but it seemed they wanted meat. Usual stuff wasn't working to my liking, so I took the dive into the dark side and started using perch eyes on my jig. That got them going more consistently, but still not like it was the week before. Next week should have them biting better with the warm weather being forecast. HH

Been down with the sickness for the last 10 days. Finally started to feel better yesterday afternoon so this morning I went out to the cabin to work on the trail Only lasted a couple of hours before I ran out of energy. Back at er next weekend.

Cooks bay is usually a guarantee. That said, my last 2 trips to Simcoe on some of our confidence waters that usually produce big perch in good numbers, we took a butt kicking. We moved many times, drilled many holes, and watched fish on camera just sit and stare at our baits no matter what we dropped. It was a humbling couple of trips to be sure. However, I’ve had so many great trips on Simcoe that I’m taking it in stride. Some times you just get beat, or have a bad run!

Yes, those were the days before internet, poke a hole there and catch perch, herring and whities. you can't even find an errant bear fart without someone scooping it up.
