[Reel Action]

Headed at 10am once the waves calmed down. Set lines at 59 FOW just East of Port. Greasy Chicken wing spoon was on fire for 60 minutes. Couldn't keep it set, boated 7 Walleye including a 10lb monster and several farm animals. Things cooled down and the worm harnesses started producing. Kept our best 12 out of 16 Walleye and pulled lines at 330 pm. Fished 59 and 60 FOW all day. Dipseys out between 110 and 125 ft. Most fish on the screen were 40 to 47 ft down. No particular colour of harness produced better than another.

I was going to ask ?????

we gave it to our offshore workers, they were very excited to see it. I assume they will make a soup out of it but who knows

In a roasting pan add olive oil , onions , garlic, potatoes and the sheepshead cove the fish with a piece of truck tire found on 401 cook for 1 hour them remove from oven throw away the fuckin sheepshead and eat the truck tire

LOL! I knew someone was going to spot that and ask! Years ago Daryl Cronzey sang the praises of Sheepshead and claimed that if you cut it into small chunks and boiled it briefly, then dipped it in garlic butter, it was just like lobster. I never tried it, but he said that on a TV segment of his. The offshore workers have a broader palette for fish than many of us do, so I'm sure they'll prepare it in a way that they all will enjoy it. For me, I'll just keep enjoying my Walleye fillets!

I heard that same Lobster except with Northern Puke. I mean Pike.

We tried a sheep on Nippissing one year just for fun, and with the Chronzy episode in mind. It was bland and tasteless. Not bad, just bland.

I've dropped off migrating Chinook to some very happy bunkhouse over the years. They usually have the pan hot before I leave the yard.
