Way to go Phil. Looks like it was an awesome weekend. Joey

Happy birthday Jim and Phil. All the best to you both. Hope you both got what you wanted Joey

Well you're in good company Cliff, I lost a big one today too But, that's what makes the urge to get right back in there all the more stronger right Nice report and pics. Nice to hear the little one is getting more patient. She'll be outfishing you both in no time. Joey

Great report. Paul's parent's cottage is on Little Gull, so I know exactly where you were. Some big lunkers in that lake. Joey

Wow, you lucked into that spot. Way to go, those are all brutes. Joey

Nice mess of fish there. Great report. Joey

We wondered if you were out there today as well Emil. Looks like you were out deeper than us. Nice haul. Enjoy your BBQ bud. Joey

What a perfect day on Lake Ontario today. Got up nice and early and headed down before it got too hot. Winds were pretty calm and water temp was 69 deg. Got out to about 145 FOW and set up three rods, one on the rigger with a green and white fly, then two had dipsy's and spin doctors, one with another green fly and then the other with a green and silver spoon. I was just getting comfy and noticed the rod on my side of the boat had a ring around the line in between the rod tip and second last hole, which upon further inspection we realized was the tip's plastic eyelet not attached anymore Paul reeled in and we were trying to crazy glue it back in place when we hear that wonderful zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sound. It was on the rigger and was a beauty 30.5 inch salmon for Paul. We tried to glue the eyelet but it was not taking so we quickly changed that rod up with another rod and fly. Not long after that one went off and it was my turn, a nice little shaker at 21.5 inches. Glad we changed the rod About a half hour later, the rigger goes off again and its Paul's turn and he reeled for a looooooonnnnngggg time. There was alot of peeling and reeling going on The finished product was this slab 38 inches Too bad we didn't enter the tourney Look at the teeth on this beast. Next up is my turn again about another half hour later and again its on the rigger. It was a good fight and got the salmon boatside and just as we're netting her she peels off under the boat and I lose everything We were both heartbroken. We regained our composure and headed off again. Next the spoon went off and after a brief battle it was off. About a half hour later it was the spoon again and Paul landed a nice 30.5 inch bow. We had a few more on/off hits but not much more. The bite turned off around noon and it stayed off until we couldn't take the heat anymore at 1:30. It thought this cloud was cool. Kind of looks like waves. All in all a great day I'd say. Joey

Super report Mike. Looks like you all had a great time. I feel for the wee one, I've felt like that many a time on the Big O. Congrats to him on his Salmon. Joey

This is funny. After reading this post, and especially solopaddler's reply, I had a very vivid dream last night. I dreamt that I was bitten by a rattlesnake and we were in a remote area, but some stranger had some "homemade" antivenom and gave me a few shots. I remember my hand and legs got all swollen and they were going to give me more and I didn't want them to because of Raf saying it only works once. Boy was I glad to wake up, but it gave me a chuckle that a thread from OFC could invade my sleep like that Joey

Yep, I hear ya Sam Joey

Ahahahahahaha, lmao!!! Joey

Now that's what I call a report. Way to go you guys What an excellent adventure Joey

Awesome, way to go. We'll take as many points as we can get Nice fish. Joey

That's awesome Jamie, way to go bud Congrats!!!! Joey

Very cool pic Raf. I've never seen one up close and personal, and I'd like to keep it that way. Nothing against snakes, I love them, but rattlers don't appeal to me Joey

Wow Jim, that is a monster. Way to go buddy Joey
