Pt Stanley/ Bruce Sat am

[Bruce Graham]

Trolled the 60 to 65 area about halfway between the 2 ports. Ended up with 8 eyes and 1 bow, the lake was as flat as you will see it. Was checked by a couple of co's who pulled up and stayed up front of the boards and really were just counting rods vs people with a licenses and were not there to be a nusance. I just wish they would spend some more of there efforts checking the comercial guys.
The way the weather looks it might have been a good end to a great summer on the lake

Glad to see the CO's out there too, dont hear of them way out in the lake too often.

We got stopped by the CO's last night as well, they were quite respectful and pleasant, checked out licence and rods and fish count, and never made us skip a beat, "keep on trolling we will follow you on port side", handed our licence in their little telescopic pole.

Ended up 8 eyes and 1 bow as well, lost just as many.

Cheers

A CO came up to me as we were getting ready to recover the boat at Port Bruce & just shot the crap for a few minutes. Asked how we done but didn't ask to see in the cooler or see our licences.
Not that I was worried as we sure didn't have to many fish & we both have licences.

Fisherman I guess some people are guilty of painting everyone with the same brush. I appear to be guilty of that in this case. I believe there are many responsible tug operators who are respectfull of the lake. I hear stories of the tugs dumping the big walleye and the big perch. I don't know if its true, but if its not, here is your oportunity to speak to the issue.
