G-Bay Pickerel

[NAW]

I figured G-bay was a good bet for this weekend. My regular fishing partner Steve had to work, so I called up one of my SAR unit teammates, who was more then happy to fill the position.

 

Woke up at 4 am, on the water around 5:30. (should have been 5:00, but there was a long wait at Tim’s for some reason, then we watched Barrie PD arrest a drunk guy, and break up a college house party..)

 

I trolled an Erie Derie for about 2 hours with a few bites, but no takers. We where in anywhere from 6’ to 25’, and trolling about 3km/h.

 

I switched to a slow death rig, slowed down to about 1.5km/h, in 8’ to 12 FOW. 5 minutes later and there's a Pickerel in the boat!

 

In the next two hours, I boated 3 more. What a great day!!

 

The first was 15.75”; next two where both around 20”, and the last about 19”. One under the slot for the dinner table!!

 

Here's a pic of a smallie from last weekend. Sorry about the poor quality pics, they where all taken on my cell phone..

This is my rig to make sure I'm in the right place, and the right speed... The Slow Death rig works best at 1 mph. Gets the worn twirling just right.

 

Hey.. How can I attach more the one pic per post...??

Some nice fish you got there. When you find the pickerel, fishing can be hot on GB. Thanks for sharing.
