4 of us heading down to the cottage Saturday to do some fishing and swimming. We met up at my house and 5:30, hit Timmies and were on our way. After 5 minutes we realized the first thing that we forget, batteries for the camera Stopped at the gas station to pick some up and we were on our way again.
Music choice for the morning was anything heavy
We got to the boat and started getting everything loaded and ready to go. It was a BEAUTIFUL day out there!
We decided to head out 8 miles to a spot near pottahawk and get into some perch and pike. On the ride over we had the tunes once again cranked!
We got to the spot, drifted for a bit and then anchored when I got a few quick fish. This is when my day was almost ruined, Mark asked where my split shots were, I said "In one of my boxes that you grabbed from the boathouse". There was instant silence. ALL my tackle was left outside the boathouse I pulled the anchor up and ran back the 8 miles and luckily it was still all there
We decided to stay in the inner bay after that and see what we could get. We ended up catching perch non stop. Mostly small ones but a few nice ones mixed in along with my PB World's Greatest Sport Fish and a OOS back.
We cruised over to Port Rowan early afternoon, docked the boat at the restaurant and sat down for some lunch. After that the plan was to hit the sandbar and play some football for the afternoon. Time flew by and before we knew it, it was 5PM
We stopped at Timmies again for some Iced Coffee and headed home
Even though I wore sunscreen I am once again recovering from a sunburn today.
