ehg Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) Hi folks had a little time late Saturday afternoon/ early evening so tried to get out fishing. The lake was flat and winds were to stay light so it was good to go. Ended up having a great day and took some pictures so thought i'd share. Arrived at destination and there was a frozen bay with ice fishermen on one side. and big open lake on other side. Caught some fish immediately. I really like these White Bass, main reason for fishing here. caught more Found fish out deeper in the lake that i wasn't expecting. Like this nice looking unfortunate OOS specimen. It started getting a little cloudy as the sunset. It was then the brown trout started hitting. These fish out here fight like crazy jumping and generally go berzerk. There the sought after fish. This fish jumped numerous times. Fat like a football. more Since it became dark and chilly we decided to leave. Caught this fish then left. Some hard work and foresight ended up paying off with a decent few hours of fishing Might not do this again till next December. Oh well, Cest la vie Cheers, ehg Edited March 16, 2008 by ehg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehg Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks for replies people! Had a fun day and love fishing so all was good. Maybe the only time i'm hoping to catch a carp (the carp hit lures here) or sheepshead in attempt to get a real mixed bag. But didn't happen. Usually get rainbows as well but not this day. Demphasized the OOS by shrinking photo but left them in for multispecies effect. Great day on the water guys...and what a nice mixed bag of fish too !!!! great pics too...and thats a very big lake o walleye well done,glad to see the plant is still producing the usual amazing catches of fish,man i miss that place,there is no way i could launch my boat till the marina is ice-free,i couldnt get her over the beach,well im glad you guys have access,cheers The plant really produces in mid-winter but action falls off starting April. With no shoreline access there rarely is anyone else there, thus little pressure on spot. Always have a chat with security people and work hard and freeze to do this, but getting to 'shoot fish in barrel' kinda makes it all worth it. Didn't know that fish was a walleye until netted( too dark out). Just knew it had decent size. 'Football walleye' pic doesn't do it justice easily over 30 in. or 10 lbs. Quick photo then release. Doesn't count for anything however. Thanks for replies again, ehg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 sure is nice to see a report like this when there is still ice on the smaller lakes, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorlifts Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 DUDE!!!!!! The best fishing ever. I rate this right up there with the Pigeon bass slammin days. Like I said on the boat, where would you rather be? Hard water perch? or soft water slammin those big ass browns. hahaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Your reports start out Trying or Tried fishing Lake Ontario. From what I can tell, you are doing a heck of a job doing catching while you are out there! It's amazing seeing soft water reports on the big lake. Congrats on another great outing!

ehg Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 DUDE!!!!!! The best fishing ever. I rate this right up there with the Pigeon bass slammin days. Dave, we've been lucky that the wind in the right direction when we are both free. Looking forward to that summer musky- bass fishing, i'm tired of this weather.
