After a few years of failed plans and dreaming, I finally made it.
Settled in Deseronto Tuesday night. I get to my motel and am greeted by my next door neighbor making a crack about my parking job. Nothing wrong with my parking
Anyways, turns out my neighbor is Walleye Dreamer, the Ambassador
Actually, he referred me to the place via the board, We talked a few minutes and he invited me over to talk fishing. After I was settled in I went over to sat hello. we chatted a bit, he filled me in on where all the amenities were and had a few laughs, the guy is pretty funny.
I asked him about some of the areas that looked appealing to me on the charts and was firing up my navionics to show him, when he busted out the paper charts, He's not into gadgets, thinks they'll weigh him down or something
He pointed out some of the dangerous areas on the bay and some of the access points. I Had plans to fish in Belleville in the morning so he wished me luck and off I went.
This is how the trip went,
Wednesday, fished from from 6:30-6, moved three times, Went 3/4. two of them in the 4-4 1/2 lb range and a 2lber.
Thursday, went out in the morning with Walleye Dreamer and a couple of his friends, went 2/3, one at about 5 lbs and my PB. which was 7-8lbs. No hog, but you gotta start somewhere, right?
Same morning got to see Walleye Dreamer land a 10+lb and his personal best of 13.2 lbs. I was happy to be there, the man earned that fish. Pm bite was not on, one of the boys managed to mark one and caught it.
Friday, went out in the morning with Walleye Dreamer and his friend, went 12/12, missing a few. all in 4-5 lb range. Awesome morning!!! Slowed down at around 10 am for me, started packing up. Off the ice and homeward bound by 12
Although I didn't catch any double digit pigs, there wasn't a fish that I was not thrilled to catch. I had a great time and, was happy enough to have seen big fish caught!
For those of you that are local to BOQ, you are lucky to have such an amazing fishery so close to home.
Want to Thank Walleye Dreamer for his hospitality & help, for introducing me to some good people and for putting me on some fish. This guy is truly, old school cool!
Larry, it was a true pleasure meeting you and your friends, hope we can do it again soon!
