Joeytier Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Boo-hoo, that's why rain suits and long jons exist! We're looking at subzero nights and rain both days, and I'll be tent-camping fishing for brookies and loving every minute of it (y) Bring some friends and make a good time out of the bad weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan668 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Rain doesn't bother me, just getting the boat back on the trailer lol. Boat is like a kite. I'll just have to find a more protected launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Early sat the wind is going to change direction every hour so that won't be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manjo39 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Wet and windy is okay, but cold front not good for the bite and near zero not good for feeling the finger tips. As Joeytier says above, always a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan668 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I also have a lund deep v, so well see. Few years ago i was on rice when it was windy, launch was unprotected and away from dock, it was a nightmare getting the boat back on the trailer. Looks like a strong west wind sunday, so same conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Opener.... Yikes! Shorten your life expectancy, take a job working shifts and never fish a weekend again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb4me Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 ill be on the Trent river.. we changed our date from leaving tom night to leaving tonight..We have a TON of leaves to get cleaned up.. Was going to do leaves sat and fish sun..Now were going to do leaves tomorrow and fish sat am...Should be interesting..Planing to fish the mouth of the river at the bottom of a sanctuary...Fishing for walleye doesn't open where my actual dock is for another week..I had a neighbor tell me that i cant even use my dock if I have fishing rods in my boat. I know better. but I thought id better ask the masses here before I tell him to stuff it..No lines wet just simply docking in a sanctuary, is this ok?

Big Cliff Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Cold front and walleye bite = a bit of a challange but I have seen us breaking ice on opening weekend and still catching our limits. I'd rather be fishing than sitting at home wishing I was fishing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRoach Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Any tips on fishing cold front? I guess I'll look for protected warm waters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Fish slow, use real meat. Pickerel fishing isn't rocket science, but they can be finicky, and that's why I like fishing them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan668 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I fish for them until bass opens, i dont even keep em. Ive had success with grubs, lipless cranks and jerkbaits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Slow. That is all.....and yeah...use some meat. Did i say slow? S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormdunker Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm trolling at 1.5 mph using a small "go getter" with a chunk of dew worm about 1" long. My favorite colors are perch & chartreuse. Hang on with both hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esoxansteel Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Feed them bucktails. I like your thinking Garnet, no need to rip, fish them real slooooow, and even let them sit motionless briefly if need be, Garnet are you still tipping your jigs with left over roe bags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
