Hi all,

 

Went down to Eagle Lake for 2 hours this evening to try a different spot from the one that has been pretty slow so far despite being very productive last year.

 

Its a well known spot with easy access some 20 minutes up the road. there were around ten holes already there (not too hard to re-open ) and i set about drilling around 10 more to cover all the options that spot provides. basically there is a bay in one direction and a narrow channel leading to an open body of the lake in the other.

 

The holes there already were where it starts to shallow up to the bay, and i drilled holes in the other direction untill i found 18 FOW wwhich is the bottom of the drop off.

 

Nothing fancy today...just good old jigs and minnows. Got into one right off the bat as so often happens, then nothing for a good 1/2 hour till the light started to fade.

 

All but one of the fish came out ofthe same hole......holes no more than 5 feet away wouldn't produce. The hole was midway down the drop-off at 14FOW.

 

 

 

MY WALLEYE SESSION THIS EVENING

 

 

 

Might get time to try another spot tomorrow...till then

 

 

Tight lines

 

 

Simon

I enjoy reading your reports and watching the videos. Thank you for the entertainment! I can't wait to get out this season. It's like a carrot dangling in front of me, but I just can't get there yet. Good luck tomorrow if you get out.

That's it! I've had all I can take, Simon!

 

I'm packing my bags, leaving the wife and moving back up north. There is only so much of this torture that I can bear :wallbash:

 

Well done on a good outing.

Thanks Jacques....yup sport fishing license is 4. Eagle lake has a slot size.....none between 18.1" to 22 or there abouts. I prefer to eat the ones under 18" anyway...better meat and lets the big breeders keep breeding

 

 

Great fish!Going to head out do some hardwater fishing soon! :D

 

Yeah....seen a couple of the guys on TB fishing forum are already out there....

 

 

excellent report and video.So close to shore, and catchin so many fish!

 

I fish where the fish are young one...we drilled some holes out in the middle of the channel...not a bite.

 

 

Hey Simon .... its candy for the eyes this morning as I have my coffee and read the posts ...

thanks

 

thanks JDS....you get out icefishing at all?

I'm not into ice fishing at all Simon, but always enjoy reading your reports from the far north.

 

Hard to believe were living in the same province though as we have absolutely NO snow down here at all and even the ponds only froze over in the last week or so :lol:

Yeah your probably right Terry, I've been up there 3 times this week and there's lots of snow.

 

We just get spoiled down here in the banana belt :lol:

Thanks Lew,

 

yeah, having lived most of my life in a country smaller than ontario the distances are still mind boggling for me too.
