Oakville Salmon report May 23

[icefisherman]

Started at 5:30 with my son and Brian.

He finally managed to get the skunk off his back today with a nice 21+ Lbs-er.

And he helped on almost as big (20Lbs-er on one of my rods)...

I got 2 more (17 Lbs and 6 Lbs) and a nice laker.

There were two double headers so overall great day.

We've had to work hard to find the fish...once found the bite was on while above them...

Tech data: 130 - 175 fow, spoons and flies with something green on them....5 for 6 for the day....not bad!

Few pictures of very happy fishermen :

 

Brian's record for the day:

 

My laker as a double header with his from above:

 

My 6 Lbs-er:

 

The one Brian helped me with on my rod during the second double header:

 

Now here is the double header ....it was so hard to keep both fish long enough for the picture....about 38 Lbs combined weight:

 

Cheers,

What speeds were you trolling and was there a thermocline visible on your sonar??

[SlowPoke]

What speeds were you trolling and was there a thermocline visible on your sonar??

2-3mph depending on direction... seemed to me like a heavy downcurrent. No t-cline on the graph and I've read other reports stating temps were uniform top to bottom. No downspeed or temp unit on board.
