Quick May Report

[mbosh1980]

Not much of a report, but what the heck...

Managed to get up to my in-laws cottage in between shifts this month. My honey do list was pretty large but I persevered and got through most of it. Managed to fish of the dock for an hour here and there. Had problems with the boat due to a faulty battery. Only managed a couple hours boat time.

Nevertheless had some success for perch and surprisingly walleye off the dock. This is my first year targeting them so I'm pretty happy I caught any.

First cast of the year = jumbo off the dock

 

Another decent perch

 

Tried setting up for some carp one afternoon, but had no luck calling them in. However I did find that the miller chill is my favourite of all the "lime" beers I've tried. Refreshing!

p.s. I'm aware my setup is ghetto but I make do with what I got.

 

Another jumbo

 

A couple in the slot

 

What was this guy thinking?!

 

Caught quite a few decent perch and bluegills...and managed to avoid the bass for the most part. I could have had a nice little fish fry if I was so Inclined but all were released. Found that twitching a gold x-rap around the new weed growth off the dock was working well.

Take care

Nice report...those perch and walleye look great, but, man...sitting here at work winding up for the day on a Sunday, that beer looks even better (and I don't even drink much) LOL!!!

What size is that X-rap?

What size is that X-rap?

uh..medium? It's about 1/2 oz. I was surprised at the perch that were nailing it.

Great report, you would have had a nice feed there. I used to release them too till I discovered fish crisp.
