Hi everyone,
been a while since I was out on the water and today the plan was to head out to Quyon on the Mighty Ottawa and see if we could get into ski's but to our dispair, could not get any to take our offerings.
The weather was nice but windy, gusting from the North..... water temp was at 65 degrees..... proceeded on the north side of the main channel and started throlling in about 15' 20' fow. First to get a hit is Paul and landed this little pike.
Did not get anymore hits and decided to try our luck in the first bay that was in our trolling path but that meant going to the south side..... as we moved closer and closer to the first bay, the waves were getting bigger and looking towards the North.....could see white caps
We kept going for a while but the waves were just pounding the side of the boat and eventually decide to make a u turn and head back in the main channel on the North side.
We finally arrived, not too wet but a little shaken up from the rough waters and started to work the weed edge with spinner baits.
Didn't take long, Paul gets another hit and lands a beautiful 13" crappie.
I just could not believe the size of this fish We kept moving along and all of sudden we get to a flat that was about 4' to 6' feet deep with weeds and started catching snot rockets left and right.... sorry guys, did not take any pics of them cause they weren't picture worthy....... but we manage to catch between 15 - 20 of them in a spawn of 30 minutes
After this frenzy started to slow down we decided to resume throlling for ski's and what do you know, I get a hit and boated a 27" pike. Took a couple of pics of that one.
The red on the tail end is not blood.... came out of the water that way. Looked like some other fish had taken a bite off of it.
All in all was a good afternoon spent on the water and will surely return.
Hope you enjoy this report
Until next time
