Awesome sunrise and a bonus whitefish for a snack

At the becking of the wind direction, the north shores of the bay was the spot to launch the toons.

 

Out before the sun was to awake I was. It was a sight to see. One of the best I have seen while out on the toon.

Marked lots of fish in the 80 fow range. Many chasers. I think all of them were whitefish. Managed to get one to the surface. Lost one right after putting back down. The meegs hit 55 fow and this fish came charging up and smacked it. Meegs did it,s job again.

The dog days of summer coughed up one for a snack.

"warm"---now there's an understatement!! clothes hung outside yesterday dried in record time. No wonder---it was like the med setting on the dryer out there! :)

 

Out in the bay, way out in the breeze area, it was very pleasent. Cool really. Once we came in, the wind was blocked and it was DANG hot.

I'm usually going to bed at sunrise Brian. Unless fishing to beat the heat. I've been away from Blast Furnaces for 10 years now and the heat is starting to bother me this year.

 

As for the fish, me want 1 too. Is that the way you always do up Whitefish? I've caught a few on Nipissing 30 some odd years back in the spring and kept one and backed it in the oven slathered in butter with lemon slices on it and spices.

Great report and pictures. You were doing these great reports 15 yrs. ago. Good to see your still at it despite whatever. Catching fish is in your DNA. lol Thanks!

 

Thanks ehg. They may come across repetitive, but hey, it,s fishing and a report. Pretty sure thats what this site was built on at the beginning, but has revolved to much more. Im ok with that.

 

Very nice Brian. Only ever tried deep frying whitefish. I gotta give that recipe a try this winter.

 

Mike it was my first time. Yes it,s a nice way to do them. I usually do the deep fry as well. When I get two, I,ll do a fry and boil. Nice mix.
