    Thx Greg, I couldn't find your number to call and didn't want to get out there empty handed in the event there were no minnows to be had.

    Perch Oct 3 Port Bruce

    A light work schedule and favourable winds allowed me to get on the water at 2:00 pm Bought minnows in London, two scoops for $17 in a bag with oxygen. 48 feet was the depth east of Bruce approx. two miles west of first windmill. peak time was between 4 and 6 pm fishing by myself ended up...

    Lock it or lose it.

    Had several rods stolen from my boat a couple years ago, Costco has a solar powered motion activated light, works great and helps to keep the thieves honest. Sensor is set that as soon as you walk to the back of the boat to hop on it lights it up like a street light. Knock on wood, no issues since.

    First trip 2016

    150 4 stroke Yamaha, marine stabilizer in the fall, run it so I know that its getting into the engine and each spring fires up right away, since 2007 when the engine was new.... same every year.

    Common Sense?

    And then there was the guy in a small skiff sitting right at the entrance to the harbour, between the red buoy and the dock.... If you have no GPS and are relying on visual site, have the common sense to not sit in the channel.

    Cannot get lead out of leadcore

    Snip it clean with scissors, hold it loosely about an inch and a half from the end and slide the braid back. should expose the lead core. Grab the lead core and continue to slide the braid away until you have about 6 to 8 inches of lead core exposed, pull off the lead core, tie to braid...

    Fish or Feast???

    96 fillets, that means according to MNR regulations you may still have 4 more fillets kicking around in the bottom of the freezer from when you pulled those out! :):) Of course if you went out and caught some more since that time..........
