Fishing Report Father's Day at the elbow

[Extra Virgin]

Another calm Sunday for a run out to the elbow and troll, no walleye but went 2/2 on bows and only one silver bass all caught in about 70' running dipsys at 35' at 2.6-2.8mph water temp was 63 at the elbow and at bluffs.

It was a very foggy ride out of the bay at 5:30am had to make a few course corrections to avoid some nets out past pottahawk. The bugs were terrible until the wind picked up

Great! Thanks for the report Extra Virgin.

Nets @Extra Virgin?? What are the nets for? Pike? I am just curious,for I knew about nets being set up for pike off Port Rowan & off the causeway area in the inner bay in the past & maybe now as well,but I have never heard about nets being set up past Pottahawk & hopefully they are well marked & thanks in advance for any information for boating safety reasons.

 

[Extra Virgin]

They were quite tall and had black triangles at the top, the end one ( i believe) had a black and green triangle on it. I will take photos of them next weekend when I'm out that way

Thanks pal & yes,please take some photo’s of them,in case I am fishing the bass opener,and heading to Bluff Bar once I pass over Pottahawk Point.

I doubt you would see them if you headed straight to bluffs from the inner bay. I found they were more out in the direction of the elbow when leaving the inner bay.

I know still early… and maybe I good reason not to look.. but the forecast for Saturday does not look good at all

 

[Derkd9]

Friday doesn’t look great either but I still plan to get the boat in the water and parked in the boathouse for early Saturday morning!

There was a tug out setting nets by the lighthouse on Sunday around noon. He was on his 3rd set when we were out there. Seen another tug going out half way between bluffs and pottahawk also.

 

[Extra Virgin]

The nets closer to pottahawk were already up by 5ish am. I did see the black tug head out early to the tip and the red one came out around noon hour

I am not sure yet @Derkd9 on what I will be doing for the opening of bass season,the weather does look terrible with plenty of wind & lots of rain!! Before I decide, I need to get my boat back first from the marine mechanics shop.

There is always an open seat on my boat for you Red And if the weather is then we can fish my channel, drink beer and burn wood

Thanks again for your invite @Extra Virgin I say,screw the opening of bass season out on the bay,( because the weather will be lousy anyways),and just fish in your channel and drink beer’s and burn wood!! lol

 

[Extra Virgin]

I might have to order two pairs of Laviators if you keep pace with me beer for beer
