Real nice work guys.
Hoping weather stabilizes so they can remain in front of Burwell and hopefully move close to shore in the next couple weeks.
Thanks for your report.

Cheers,
Ice Fisherman

This guy is new to the Forum. Not new to Walleye on Erie. you should see him knock down fish in Quinte.

Good Report Rick. I am glad you joined the Forum. Maybe now you can teach me/us.

Cheers, Clark..... Fairy Mary on the radio.

Great report, nice barge. Hunter has a future in modeling, nice pose kid.

Another rookie question from a former Bassassin, what in goodness sakes is a "greasy chicken"? Thanks.

 

[U-290]

Greasy chicken is a color of an artificial bait usually a spoon. Gold or Copper is the base color with a 1/4" orange stripe on one side with black tiger strips opposite the orange.

 

[Bassassin]

Thanks U290. Sounds like a fire tiger pattern. That pattern is popular for Walleye on the lower Grand River, below Dunnville. Need to dig into the box and start dusting off some spoons. I do like chicken but not too greasy.

 

[Walleye]

I must apologise. Rick has been on this Forum for a while. We lost touch a few years ago. That being said, if you want Walleye he and Pops are the masters. I have pictures but won't post them without Rick's permission.
Cheers, Clark
