ccmtcanada Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Awesome work out there Shawn!!! I had previous plans or I would have PMd ya to be your partner for the day. Congrats....some beauty fish there!
TangerineDream Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) Awesome fish.... It never ceases to amaze me that such a polluted body of water still offers up great sportfishing time and again... Beautiful rainbow and silvers.... My hat is off to ya for the effort you put in today... Only wish I coulda been there Maybe sometime someone will go fishing with me... I put up a post yesterday for an outing today with no responses.... Maybe I have to get to know everyone more.... Hope to one day be worthy enough. lol Edited June 11, 2007 by Manitoba Rob
RobHall Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Excellent report and love the pics. Thanks for sharing. Keep those inches coming. Quick question...How many inches are you claiming for the salmon and how many inches are you claiming for the trout? I will add them to the board under Team 3 "Fin-Chasers". Thanks FOTB
Hellfish Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 man, you dang rock! LOL that has to be the most canadian thing i have ever heard Nice devil those are some sweet fish there, and way to go team three
nautifish Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Awesome report shawn great pictures, and some real beautys thats for sure.....Congrats......
SlowPoke Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Nice job out there! Those sonar shots convinced me to install my 50/200 transducer. I keep hearing "lack of detail" on 50 kHz but yours is finding baitfish and t-clines just fine. Do you find the cone angle on the 200 kHz too narrow? -Brian
PERCHER Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 My hats off to you Shawn.Thats a great day on the big pond.To land all those beauties and still manage to take those pictures is a task in its self.Good going and a great report .Dan
Basskicker Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Awesome...WTG. That's some impressive fish you caught and nice pics...all by yourself. The next time you go out by yourself and would like some company...give me a shout. I'm only 5-10 minutes from the Bowmanville launch. Jason
Roy Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Very impressive indeed. Thanks for taking the time to post.
