I was out last week on Erie caught about 25 nice big perch. Dave I will be fishing cats Saturday night,I have a charter.
Also pick up some nice salmon off grimsby in 20 fow today
If you buy a trailer to take it to the lake.Hook the trailer to the Quad,put all your gear plus your Friends and go out that way. Every one must have helmets.That what I do, and have not had any problems.
Give me a call when you come down for the turkeys The turkey might be finished mating by then with the weather we have had the grass is growing and the trees have buds.I have been bit by mosquitoes already.The river is 55F already
They are channel cats. They come into the Grand river from Lake Erie that is why they look different. We get grey ones but I think they stay in the river all the time.
Fished the Grand today for the big Cats.I can't belive the river was at 50F in March The river wasn't to busy today and there was lots to catch. Landed 16 for 20.
Call this # 1-888-226-7277 when you come back into Canadian waters Give them the information they ask for If they send a guy to the launch stay in your boat and wait for them. No big deal.As far as going from Canadian side to the U.S waters just go and fish with a NY state license. To obtain your N.Y license call: 1-866-933-2257. Please allow 10 business days for delivery by mail. Don't touch land or anchor in U.S waters and you should be OK.
Water is sill cold 37 F. When the water get in the mid forty's to fifty is a good time to start chasing cats. Here is were you find the tmps in the grand http://www.grandriver.ca/index/document.cfm?Sec=2&Sub1=7&Sub2=1
