Mike the Pike Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Got out today at 2pm Glen and I decided to arrive later hoping to encounter a late day walleye bite.This was Glen's first time fishing in waiters so caution when walking was the main focus.Mike our trib fisherman arrived at 3:30pm .We gave it our best effort but conditions were tough the winds were blowing around 80kph so casting was more like rapala kite flying.We saw another 6 fisherman who gave up because of the winds they did not have waiters which made it tough to cast into the deeper water.3 outings no fish weather permitting we will try again. Preparing our day to get skunked.We had no Idea. The walk to the rapids yes this is ice about as thick as pie crust nothing to hope for. Wow thicker ice.Look Tracker some ice!Get the Jiffy ready. As you can see by the spray on the Lachine rapids the wind was blowing very hard. This is the spot for Brown trout Glen has had his new boots on for 15 minutes and he is already telling me he is going to out fish me.(He usually does) Yes I know once again I am not holding any fish but hey would you look at those powerful rapids! This is great spot for Walleye from May to November as for January we are trying to find out. Ya I'm pissed I just lost an $8 Rapala Time for reload.As the sun goes down I am thinking about that lucky Cliff.I would do anything write now to just hook into a Pike.No bloody battle scars though. This is Mike our rapid fishing Master.Laidies look up! We finally gave up.Still beats working. Can you tell I lost 3 pounds? The ride home this is the Champlain Bridge heading back to the South Shore from Montreal. Not an exciting report but I can not believe this is January. Need some ice.

ccmtcanada Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Great report Mike! Sorry about the skunk though. Blyght and I get skunked most times we go out...we just don't post reports about it...haha. I have now tried steelheading 3 times in the past 2 weeks. I went out again today. At least today I hooked into one for about 15 seconds before I lost him. Oh well...we all get skunked right? Looks like some nasty weather coming this week....fishing reports for my will be few! Better luck next time Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
