I promised we'd take no prisoners and that's exactly what Al and I did.

It was a exceptional day for the two of us. We headed out around 6:30 and by 7:30 we were setup and chasing arches. The early morning bite was a bit slow. But by 9:30 the game was on, first fish is brought in and it virtually never stopped until we did at 2:30. We were very fortunate we boated somewhere around 12-14 fish we actually lost count but that's our best guess, lost 2, had 2 double headers, too much fun!

Before the fun pic's, we really need to band together as a group and get this problem resolved, cormorants need to be dealt with and eliminated.

Back to the good stuff, we fished 40 feet of water, temps were 48 early going to 59 by late morning up to 66 by mid afternoon.

The hot lures were TD 11's, although others were tried Reefs, trolls 2, The hot colours were Black/White, Silver/White in the early stages, then fire tiger or anything with green in it fired off, and by the end chartreuse pink and yellow was the answer. Really it seemed like it didn't matter what we presented it was all good.

The big fish was in the high 9's and the smallest in the low 6's.

A Big Thanks also goes out to the Preditor gang who were very helpful with what was working for them, they reported back hitting several fish in and around the 12 mark. Can hardly wait to see those pic's!

So here's a bunch of pic's of our day.

All fish released except for for a couple we kept to feed a friend of Al's and my mom. LOL.

Special Note!!! Al Bad Luck charms left on shore, no banana's, no pennies and NO GRIZZLIES!!!!! Just kidding buddy, too bad you missed it. It was a blast.

Good luck to all, the boys and Big Girls are back in town. Cue Music.

We took a couple off the cores but the hot ticket was TD-11s 90' back off the in-lines in 25fow. With the 3 core we couldn't get the boat in shallow enough. I was surprised the eyes were in that close. But when we got about a 1/4 out, trolling in, I noticed a bunch of gulls diving and feeding in 6 fow or less. The bait was in that close. Next week they might be in the 40 foot range.

Later
Al

Wel done guys and glad to hear the action is starting to pick up. I'm looking forward to making my first fall trip to the big lake early in October, and your post is giving me an itch that needs scratching - LOL.

Awesome job, and very much agreed about the cormorants, the other night when I was out I was thinking the same thing, Snake island I remembered as being as lush and green as a forest is now nothing but a pile of rocks, same as the brother islands, I don't know a ton about the issue but it's really hard to believe the ministry isn't stepping up after seeing the devastation these things cause. What's it going to take?!

Yep, 10 miles.

Colasante's camp ground in Wellers Bay has a launch. Probably 8 miles from there.

Awesome job guys, you definitely had them dialed in.

Looks like I will have to make my first fall walleye trip a little earlier this year and try the big lake for some big girls.

Again great job!

The migration is just starting to warm up. The Picton/reach/gap areas will only get better as we progress into the fall months. Nov/Dec best months in my opinion.
