Got up bright and ugly for some salmon fishing today and I was pumped for some action. The lake was clear and calm when we arrived about 7:00 a.m., but within 1 1/2 hours the East wind picked up to a level which I feel uncomfortable in our boat with So we had to call it a day. Got skunked for the short time we were out.
At least I didn't feel so bad when every other boat under 18 foot came in too and said they were scared of the waves. I tried to take a pic, but of course it doesn't do justice to how nasty they got.
A fellow who was chatting with us while we tarped out boats showed us the "Lure du Jour" that has consistently produced for him and his friends and told us they had them at the Bronte Tackle Shop. So we took a tour down Lakeshore Blvd. and stopped in and bought that lure and a few others, plus some cut Herring for next weekend. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this time.
Cheers,
Joey
