Actually, Lake O is, like, HELLLLOOOOOOOOOO anybody in there? .............................no answer
I have fished Leamington once, years ago, on a charter, before I had really got back into fishing. But, necessity is the mother of motivation. So, we made the 2.75 hour pull to Leamington this morning, driving under the Heintz 57 sign on the way. Up at 4:14, and on the road just before 5, we arrived, after rest stops and fruitless stops for worms, around 8. Erie being as she is, the run to 35 FOW took a while and we set up - all alone, but with some indication to warrant the stop.
We watched the ferry go by in the distance (sorry for the poor quality ---PAS + me at a distance = not too clear)
Shortly after - our first of the day, and G's first Lake E walleye said hello
He kept wanting to hold it by the gills, took me forever to get this hold......
Then, well, she was slow for a while.
So G took some livewell shots
after a bit we got a breeze and things started to pickup.
G met his first sheep ... Say "BAAAAAAA"
and his first silver bass. We ended up with about 20 silvers, 2 sheepies, a couple nice sized perch and 3 walters. All in all, a good decision to make the ride down that way. Thanks to G. Mech for the heads up on the action down that way.
Yes, one of them was mine
They sure ain't salmon, but it sure was fun. Over 30 fish for the day
