FISH ON!

[Spiel]

Well the inaugural voyage went well this morning, bit of a late start but lines in around 8:30 and lines out at 1pm.
It took about 30 minutes to put a program together and once we had it dialed in we did pretty good. 

My buddy truly had it dialed and at one point had a 5 fish lead on me. I had 4 fish move my rods but only one connected and it was quickly lost.  
In the closing hour I finally nailed one to avoid the Skunk followed by one more for greaser for my buddy who started the day with 2 greasers before we found where the Kings were lurking. Big fish of the day as probably 22 plus, not bad for an early Spring King. 

Water temps 44 to 46, staying in 46 was key and no surprise that body baits were the ticket.

Jealous is an understatement. Good going guys. Beautiful fish. Brings back very pleasant memories of the good old days when I lived on Georgian Bay.

 Thanks Barry.  

It's been far too long Barry since I dropped a line in your old stomping grounds, good times, good memories.

Who was that nosey guy in the boat behind you trying to get on your spot, looks like a Mackerel Hunter to me. 👍😁😁

Itching to get down to the southern shore of Lake O!

Rick and I are planning for a morning outing Bill, but the good green water is literally blowing offshore right now as I type.

My buddy and I are also planning to fish out of Port D later in the week. 

Right now, it's hard to tear myself off the rivers...I just wish they'd finish doing the wild thing and get off the redds, so I can fish where I can't see them (that green water)...plus need another day or two for the Fiddleheads to poke through..

Nice to see!  Thanks for sharing.
