With some young ones at home now, it's been a couple years since I made it out to the BoQ with the last time being this complete disaster which I documented here:

This trip was much better weather wise and I got to say hi in person to Superdad, who I have been exchanging online pleasantries for over 10 years now. Well worth the trip for that.
In terms of fishing, my buddy Dave and I were one of the many boats methodically patrolling Picton Bay that day, marking loads of fish, but not having many bite. We left super early to get there (3:30am from Kitchener) and were on the water by 7:30. So by the time the afternoon rolled along, I started napping in my seat. When I woke up, Dave had turned us around and I was startled, forgetting where I was for a second.
Moments after and still dazed from sleep, I noticed my planer go under and I set the hook. Can't really recall much of that though!
But I did end up with this beauty using an orange and purple reef runner (Cat Dog colour)
It was pretty quiet after that, with this being our only bite and fish. Of course, as we got off the water, we heard that just east of the ferry was a turkey shoot, with almost 40 fish being caught by two boats. Grrr... Well good on them for leaving the pack and being rewarded big time.
Any how, this jaunt worked well for us as a day trip so it looks we are going to try this on an annual basis, and hitting the water last minute to avoid that earlier nightmare I mentioned.
Have a happy holidays everyone and good luck on the hard water! It'll be here soon enough!
