Fish Farmer Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 We did the trek to Hastings and were well rewarded. We launch at Burwell with four scoops of minnows and drove down the lake 17.5 miles east just passed the last windmill. It was a bumpy ride for a hour. We ran out of minnows, the boys wanted to head back after 4 hours, I wish we could have stayed a little longer to get our limit because I was catching using the Perches eye. One thing I did notice which I've never seen at Abino. Perch must be eating Spiny Water Flea, Perch were puking up gobs of them. The boys were so happy at the size of the Perch, catching 2 jumbos at a time called for a net using an ultra light rod and light line. My one buddy broke his ultra light rod. I think next time I go, I'll take a little heavier rod with some back-bone. I missed some hook-ups with such a soft rod, had lots of big fish come off as I started to wind up. Other thing we talked about was, would be nice if we could launch at Hastings, I've heard a few horror stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
