As the Kings slowly (and I mean slooooowly) trickle in on the South Shore, the crowds are building much quicker than the volume of fish is.
I took the day off work, dropped the wife off at work for 8am, then headed down to Jordan. Launched by 8:45 am and by noon I hadn't moved a rod, next to three coho that were the size of the bomber long A I was pulling. At noon I had to make a decision, continue to work the water with the 50 other boats, maybe for one or two fish, or pull the boat and move to a different port.
Heading back home I veered off the QEW and launched. With only four trailers in the lot, I knew the lake would be quieter. No idea what the water colour would be like, but it had to better than the ole skunk I had out of Jordan.
Went out of port and found slightly colder (46 degrees instead of 49 degrees at Jordan), and little colour. I headed in tight, set up a long line pulling a ripplin redfin, and a inline pulling a bomber long A.
Spent the next 6 hours having a blast, fishing solo, and pounding on browns and lakers. Using light bass tackle, fishing shallow water, is my favourite thing to do on Lake Ontario. Best part was, it was the middle of the afternoon. Sun was shining. Lake was flat. What a way to enjoy a beautiful spring day.
Couple true double headers.
Last fish of the afternoon. Snaky Laker.
T Shirts and Sandals in April. Woohoo!!
