No rainbow trout caught by me yesterday,but the Whitefish dinner tasted great,today!! 🐟😋👍🙂

[Red Hering]

I participated in the Bluewater Anglers Club Spring Derby yesterday in Pt.Edward and area till weigh in time at 2 p.m., but after trying around a half a dozen spot’s for rainbow trout,coho’s & even walleye’s, I had no luck for my effort!! Like on most of my fishing trip’s,it’s great just to get out fishing,and the St.Clair river is huge,compared to some smaller Lake Huron tributaries that I normally fished on the opening of trout season. The scenery was fantastic,with the odd freighter passing through,like this one,

while I was fishing. I was casting mostly Cleo’s in various sizes & colours, but with no luck! But like always,the morning coffee always taste better outdoors,especially while I am fishing! ️ @Cannonball showed up later in the morning to try his luck in catching something as well,but no luck either from him,but it was still great for us to fish together for a few hours there. @Cannonball eventually left before the derby was over,( he didn’t sign up for the derby), and eventually 2 p.m. came around,and it was time to check out who the winner’s in this Spring Club Derby were. There were 2 categories,boat and from shore fishing,with some great fish entered. Well,it was time to say goodbye to the Bluewater Anglers Club members that hosted this event,and thanks guys,and it’s great to be a member of the Bluewater Anglers Club,for many year’s now for me. Well,it was time to look for a chip wagon,that are usually parked near the Bluewater Bridge,but due to the rainy,windy weather which eventually came,they didn’t show up. Purdy’s Fish Market was not too far away from the Bluewater Bridge,and they serve lunch there,and a walleye dinner with fries would be nice I thought,but all they had was,( here it comes!! ), pickerel dinner!! Sorry, I couldn’t refuse!! lol I ordered only fries instead from Purdy’s,( no pickerel) because I bought a couple lbs. of whitefish instead,which I haven’t eaten for a while now,to take home,and I ended up eating a pound of whitefish today for lunch. “Mmmmm!!” Purdy’s love their Toronto Maple Leafs,and their local Ontario Hockey League team,the Sarnia Sting,by the sign that they had posted there. I am a London Knights & HABS fan!! And the owner of Purdy’s and I joked around for awhile about our hockey team’s. lol Well,my birthday is coming up through this coming week,and like in most of my previous trout fishing year’s around this time,I am hoping to be catching myself a birthday rainbow trout somewhere,on one of the many Lake Huron river’s. Tight lines to All & Be Safe & Fish ON!!

Red.

I teased the kids behind the counter at the McDonald's my wife and I ate at yesterday in Sarnia too. Said to them, "Glad to see Sarnia made it to the next round, but.....sorry bout your luck.....they got London, and they AIN'T gonna beat London." I expect that series to be a good one, they've played each other tough all year, but I think the Knights win it in 7.

Happy early B-Day to you Red and will see you on the lake for the Bluewater Salmon Derby. Going down to Glasgow early next week to bring the Legend home to ready her for Friday at Port Franks. Here's hoping they have the channel marked for Friday.

Thanks @scrimmy my friend, Yes,here’s hoping that they do have the channel ready and dredged out by the Northside,( docked by the boat ramp at the moment),especially dredged out at the river mouth,so that we can get out onto Lake Huron,during the 47th Annual Salmon Derby! Tight lines @scrimmy and we will keep in touch, throughout this Salmon Derby.

That's why I'm glad my birthday falls WELL within my hibernation cycle. But then again, not too many here know when it is unless they have me on facebook as well, and even then.....

@Trevor M I haven’t been on Facebook for quite some time now,( signed off ),or I might of have seen you on it,to wish you a Happy Birthday during your hibernation time. One day somehow I will find out when your birthday is!! lol

 

[Trevor M]

One day somehow I will find out when your birthday is!! lol

It's in November. That help?

 

[Red Hering]

It's in November. That help?

November 11th? Remembrance Day? So that I won’t forget? lol

 

[Trevor M]

November 11th? Remembrance Day? So that I won’t forget? lol

Nope, but I do have a friend who's birthday is the 11th. He doesn't like it because he feels that particular day shouldn't be shared with anything or anyone because of what it represents. He always celebrates a day before or a day after, but never the day of even though he's been told his entire life, when he was born was kind of out of his hands.

I will figure out your birthday some how. There are only 30 day’s in that month I believe,and how hard can that be for me,not to figure out the right date? lol

30 days, so what I'll tell you since you seem to want to guess.........is...........

it's between the first tone of midnight on Oct 31 and the last tone of midnight on Nov 30. But just remember, EVEN if you guess correctly, that don't mean I'll tell ya you guessed correctly.........at least until I see you in person again.

Happy Birthday Red. Will hopefully touch base with you during the Derby and good fishing to you

Could be worse Trevor, mine is 3 days after Christmas.

I'm just givin Red a hard time.

But really from week before Halloween until second week of January as far as birthdays/anniversaries are concerned, it gets a little busy for us. There are way too many birthdays or anniversaries in the family to count in that time. Two of my best friends who are like brothers to me (both same day) Wife's grandmother will be 100 this year, several of my cousins, my parents anniversary (this year will be 50 years) myself, my sister in law, my niece, my nephew, a few more cousins, my wife, my daughter, an aunt, a few more cousins, my cousin's wife, my mother in law and those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head without going to look

One of my cousins included in that was born Christmas Day. My cousins wife I mentioned, hers is Jan 1.

PS. I sent him a pm a couple minutes ago telling him when it is
