mcallister.grant Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 I had been looking forward to this weekend for a couple of months now. It's an annual get together of friends for a weekend of drinking and relaxing. My friend Keith and I don't drink, so we usually spend the weekend fishing. We had a real productive weekend, landing somewhere in the neighbourhood of 30 largies, 1 smallie and 3 walleye. The funny part of the story is that as we were getting off the highway I noticed a rather large dam to my right and I instantly thought "There has to be walleye in there". I canvased some of the locals and they were adimant that there was no way I would catch any this time of year. Being the hard head that I am, I decided not to listen to them. I went and bought some minnows and large leeches and made my way down to the dam. Within 30 mins I landed my first wally and landed another 2 in the next hour and snapped 2 off. So much for the locals theory. Nonetheless, the weekend was a blast, the fish were biting and most of all I wasn't working. I would like to give a special thanks to Bucketmouth Johnny for guiding me to some awesome spots on the harbour. Our weekend would have been as productive without your advice. It was much appreciated.

solopaddler Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 Great report, it's always best to follow your insticts rather than follow the crowd, wtg on the walleye!
