Probably should have stayed home, but when reservations and plans are made, what r you gonna do.
Trolled from the ferry east all day, back and forth. switched up lures every 20 minutes, nothing to show for it. Tried riggers, boards, snap weights, everything. Not a sniff.
Weather was not bad, except for that hurricane that blowed in later in the afternoon. Made for an exciting ride in.
Oh well, that's fishing.

The problem with weather and fishing plans have been a curse to the travelling fisherman.

For 30 years, we travelled to New Brunswick to fish the Miramichi / the Hammond or the Nepisiguit and we would pray for rain to raise the river levels a little bit to draw fish up river.

Many times on our trip to NB, it would have rained or a Hurricane would come up the east coast and dump a pile of rain and blow the rivers out.

You make your plans and you takes your chances - those yearly plans are the trickiest of plans.

I can completely sympathize with your feelings.

Cheers and keep planning.

We made our first fall trip Nov. 10, 11 & 12 and totally understand and agree with how tough it can be in getting the weather gods to be agreeable. We launched in Picton Tuesday am and as rain was forecast and appeared to be coming, immediately put up top and side curtains. As per plan ran to just east of the bat cave & started trolling back west towards cement plant. Fished until 4:30 pm with nothing to show for our efforts. Wednesday we ran all the way to the upper gap & started trolling west again in the calmest water I have seen in a long time, but we still could not get Waldo to come up & play. Water temperature was pretty steady around 52. Marked tons of bait balls & lot of hooks, particularly off the bat cave - but no takers. Weather was damp, but very nice with no wind, so we fished with our jackets off with top up & side curtains on - very pleasant. Coast Guard was predicting severe weather for Thursday so we pulled Erie-Eyes Wednesday night, cancelled fishing on Thursday morning and came home early.

Now planning on next trip Nov. 24,25, & 26, and we will try again, weather permitting. Love my fall trips to BOQ, even if Waldo refuses to co-operate - LOL.
