bigugli Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Got my sucker baits and heavier rods ready and ran out to the Welland R. Never saw any channel cats. Got a number of bullheads scarfing the cut bait A little while later was joined by Smokin Joe and his son "Curious George" At that point the little stuff started showing up. Some OOS fish decided they liked cut sucker as well Little Joey kept trying to go swimming in the river, but no white stripes, even if the rest of the fish were really small.

smokin joe Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 It was a great day to get out even though the big ones didn't want to come and play, the little ones where fun on the ultra lite "Curious George" sure was trying to go for a swim One of these days he'll settle down and do some real fishing and not the you hook it and I get to reel it in I hope Nothing beats getting out there with some great friends for a days fishing And thanks for the custom streamers Bruce they look awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Those Bullheads fry up real nice if that water is clean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Went out again, today, in the hope of connecting with perch or crappie. Kept hitting OOS bass and small rockies. Had the apple of my eye out with us this time. At least we all caught some fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 You're fishing too small and too shallow if that's all you were catching!... increase your bait size and depth!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to plan out my fishing breaks a little more carefully these days. Someone has got to be with Anna all the time. We've had far too many scares the past month.

evster Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 If you were fishing where I think you were I might have cruised past you. Do you remember seeing a camo 14 foot tinny with a bowmount on it go cruising by? We were scouting out spots along the river coming from Wellandport down.

Must have been the V hull, the Jon boat 's motor tanked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went past when that jon boat was trying to get going, then turned around and went back past a few minutes later. Thats a pretty long boat ride and we were lucky we made it all the way back. We forgot to check the fuel level before going on the adventure and ran the tank dry. Must have been running on fumes when we put it on the trailer.

Leecher Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Great report and pics Bruce I remember when dad and I used to go out for bull heads..... they're a ton fun to catch when the bite is on. Hope that your little one is feeling better. Thanks for sharing Jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
