smerchly Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yesterday was a a great day to fish both Erie and Ontario , or anywhere for most species ......but I don't see any reports .... I spent the day in the yard , garden , deck , fence , etc. As the saying goes , "Should have been here yesterday" So who fished yesterday ? I missed a good day to be fishing ! Also ...this 'nice' weather with warm temps has brought forth the ticks in high numbers .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass-turd Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I was out at Jordan a couple days ago in the evening taking advantage of the high temps, made my first attempt at pike this year. Unfortunately no fish caught, only stayed for an hour since I was swatting those gnats/midges? like crazy, still not as bad as last year though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'clouds' of gnats/midges has begun . Places along the lake are thick with them ! Wear your mask LOL ! Bass-turd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't expect to see the trailer again so we are unprepared for a visit for a while . We may still decide to sell after this season as it seems the shots and mandates may be a reg.thing for the future ..... We will be able to bring home much more of our stuff this fall , just in case it's our last time there . No planning ahead these days....

I am going to bag check my inflatable kayak and use that. Hopefully an alligator doesn’t bite it. Davidp16, Bubba14 and smerchly 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, I also think there could be a Floridian python or croc as well…. Make sure you enjoy the fishing down there for all of us up here, good luck 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted May 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 If it wasn't for the palm tree it looks like CDP in the mid summer ....minus the crocks of course ! The dock area at our trailer at Quinte gets clogged up like that . I pulled a few bass out using a floating husky jerk by letting it sit in a small opening & "twitching" it every 10 seconds . ...seems to drive them nuts . I hope to see some pictures of some strange fish soon....good luck ! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbocco Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Well I have caught many bass so far off that little dock to the left but all 1lbers and not worth the photo. I saw a snakehead swim by which is a fish I’d love to catch but he wouldn’t bite my offering. I usually love to power fish (crankbaits, Topwater, swim baits) but so far all have been caught using t-rigged dark blue worms, and I’ve really had to slow it down and finesse fish them. I bet a ned rig would be effective. I’ll try that at some point and I’m definitely going to throw more topwater at sundown later. My choppo and frogs should work. For now…beer and swimming with the wife and kids. Tyler0420, Bubba14, Bass-turd and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbocco Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Caught me a snakehead, kinda like a pike but a whole lot meaner. Smells worse too. Here’s a few nature pics for Smerch. The swan like creature which I think is a crane was 3ft from me. He wanted the bass I was catching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
