Derek0291 Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Well, it was very choppy and windy to say the least, but we still managed to land a couple. Total time fished 1 hour 30 mins. I was fortunate enough to have my friend with me today to assist in netting and photo. The bigger one was caught on a twister tail and the smaller a minnow. There was one downside to today, a fellow boater noticed our catch and positioned himself right in between us and we were talking distance apart (nice people), but we have anchors out with a decent amount of line so please if you see this don't do that again it's too dangerous as the current swings us around ect. .

jordanl Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Pretty sure I saw someone post a pic of you guys on instagram today questioning your anchoring. Reguardless, glad you got into a few good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek0291 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Pretty sure I saw someone post a pic of you guys on instagram today questioning your anchoring. Reguardless, glad you got into a few good ones. 8lb dumbbell + old camping rope attached to an anchor trolley. I find the anchors that need to snag the bottom are way too dangerous as I had to cut one off one time out. The dumbbell, for the most part, just rolls around if enough wind/current is present.

Derek0291 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Great job. Skinny lookin laker I was thinking about this for a bit today. Saw a show called "silent invaders", discussing the invasive species sea lamprey. It appears this one is a victim (wound on side). Apparently most fish don't live after, this one is a trooper!

jordanl Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Saying most don't survive might be a bit exaggerated. From experiance fishing the soo rapids and the niagara, there is a good chunk of salmon and trout that have one to even three lamprey scars. It would seem to me that lots survive. Unless there is a large chunk of the victims that we don't see. That lakers is definitely long and slender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
