bucktail Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Launched out of Port Dalhousie and fished form the shipping canal down to the river mouth and back. Fishing was VERY slow. Water was its warmest at the shipping canal, a balmy 43 degrees and coolest near the river a chilly 38. I noticed at the leaderboard at the ramp that there have been no salmon weighed in, too early still with this late spring. Should be hopping in another 2 weeks. Managed to go 2/3 with two lakers in the 13lb mark. We also lost a 4-5 brown near the shipping canal. All fish came on purple tail dancers and reef runners behind the boards. A couple grey ghosts. Johnny first laker ever! Bretts fish Saturday morning out of Bronte was a bust. VERY clear and cold water leads to no fish in the spring. Here is a picture i took in 20 feet of 38 degree water. Until we get an onshore wind and some temperature and water colour I recommend avoiding Bronte for a few days Clear Water
