Fished for two hours Sunday, two hours sunday, Over 20 Walley landed and some of the biggest damd sheepshead your ever likely to catch!. Lanched near the top of Long Reach, west side-had the boat ramp all to myself - thanks to the locals for pointing me in the right direction.
Sunday, lanched 2pm, headed south to the entrance to Hay Bay. Fished the North Corner point, stared hitting fish right away, including on 21 incher. (this fish had an orange tag with a phone number on it, anyone have any info on the tag , we havent won a million bucks have we?). Family and I landed 10 more fish in the 12-15 inch trange before heading in before the rain.
Monday, same launch couldnt makie it all the way down because of the wind blowing in out faces so just headed to the east shore of the reach and started trawling almost between the docks, maybe 15 ft from shore. after landing some nice bass and a few perch we found wahat must have been a "shoal" of walleye, all hudled below this fallen tree (yes that close to shore) For the next hour we just trawled back a forth, pulled two 21 inch and my wife(sigh-never hear the end if it), a 24 inch, from under the edge of that bush, we even had a double header.
We didnt use uziks, but did use small spoons red beads, tipped with worms, small weight up the line worked just fine.
In fact the spoon that my wife caught her large walley on was a salmon spoon all the way from Scotland and about 30 years old!!!
Thanks to everybody on this board for the info provided and directions to launches etc. Made for a wonderful trip.
Two weeks we head north to Nipissing for a week, but this past weeknd will take some beating.
