It was the first seasonal test weekend of the HMS LeXXington, and what a day too do it!!!
Over the winter Tbayboy and I lugged all the stuff out on the ICE, drilled holes, walking, huffing and puffing. While on the ice he was kind enough to listen to me Bi#$th while I was in my hut about the cold lack of fish etc.
I felt I should take him out with me and show him real fishing, OK it was perch but still
Made arrangements to meet at 7am in Orillia, forgot how long that drive was. Got out tickets, Minnows etc and off to the launch.
The engine fired up, no leaks, and put the plug in out we went to the narrows for the super highway of perch.
All day we kept pulling them up if we got a while without a hit, move around a little and start again. We must have caught 50 or more but only keeping the larger ones for a nice feed. I am glad we packed it in a little early around 3pm cause by the time I had finished cleaning mine I was ready for bed.
My poor first mate was so excited about fishing, poor thing tuckered herself out and slept all the way home. I can guarantee as soon as she see's the fishing stuff again she will sit on my coat so I can't leave without her
Here are some pics of the day,. No tagged fish so I guess next year
