“Gassing Up!!” with an X-Large Black McCafe!! ☕️ 🎣🐟👍😎

[Red Hering]

I thought about going to the Woodstock Fishing & Hunting Show today,but I think that going walleye fishing instead today, would be much cheaper,then spending money at the Woodstock Show!! I usually don’t fish on weekends,whether it’s on a river,or on a lake,such as Lake Erie,especially during the summer months. Too busy for my liking,for this “retired” individual!! McDonald’s this time was my first place to stop for a coffee ️,on my travels to my walleye spot for this afternoon,to try my luck again,like yesterday afternoon,( photo of walleye ), for me to try to catch another Thames River walleye or two. It is crazy packed this afternoon out here anywhere on the Thames River with walleye angler’s everywhere,but why not,for the weather is perfect!! Tight lines to all,and walleye’s ON!!

Woodstock was good..and yes, a little expensive but not bad......

Nicely done!! @DaveJ and if I wasn’t downsizing my own fishing tackle,like I had done previously,( me being one of the vendor’s there ), at the Port Rowan & Aylmer Fishing & Hunting Show’s a couple of weeks ago, I would of have made the trip to Woodstock today. So far walleye fishing right now is not costing me anything,except for the coffee ️. lol Tight lines to All!!

Well, I and everyone else around me that was walleye fishing this afternoon,didn’t catch any walleye’s,which was strange,considering that yesterday there were a few walleye’s caught. It was a great pleasure to meet @Redneck 77 and his son as well this afternoon,and I am sure that we will meet up again,especially out on Lake Erie this summer for walleye’s & trout. Tundra swans were flying overhead again this afternoon,

and again,that is a great sign that Spring has finally arrived. Tight lines & walleye’s on,to anyone that is fishing for the Thames River walleye’s.

Still scratching my head at that " downsize " Does that mean I need to buy more tackle just smaller?

I think that means smaller tackle boxes more lures

@Red Hering... Do you mean this gassing up.

@Red Hering... Do you mean this gassing up.

lol @Wave Runner !! NO!! not that type of gassing up!! But this kind of “gassing up,” I was doing last Saturday,while I was in your area,after I had finished walleye fishing by the Highway #76
Bridge,near West Lorne. There was “NO Trespassing” there as well!! But,at this moment, I am “gassing up” again, X-Large Black McCafe,while I am trying my luck for the Thames River walleye’s again,on the beautiful looking Monday,March 4,2024.

I hit the river at Komoka for the 1st time yesterday. Walked downstream and hit a few holes. Nothing but a few suckers for me. A few eyes had been caught but general consensus was slow. River looked good so better days ahead.

What was shocking to me was the amount of garbage..everything from Tims coffee cups to bait containers to bottles to old clothing. I dont know whats wrong with people...just take your trash home. No wonder why we see no trespassing signs.

Yes,the walleye fishing was slow yesterday @DaveJ and I had to fish hard for them,but Monday was much better for catching walleye’s,if an angler knew where to go to catch them there. About the garbage there,it is disgusting to see,and even though there is a garbage bag hanging there off a tree branch around the location I think that you are talking about,there is still garbage of all kinds as you had described,laying around!! Thank goodness for a walleye sanctuary coming up soon,for this will hopefully eliminate some of the problems of more trash being tossed around!! I will be cleaning up some of this garbage when the walleye sanctuary starts,because Earth Day or the Thames River cleanup is still a ways away for cleaning up!!
