I heard the weather report today and since it was supposed to be nice and sunny, I thought it would be a great day to Skip work and Hit up Frenchman's Bay in Pickering.
I convinced a friend of mine to join me in my Tin can,
I suggested on our way out that normally there is no one out there fishing so the water should be good....
We got there and there were three boats already trolling my lines.....
By the time we got the boat out of the truck and all our gear ready to set off into the water, one boat headed for shore....
And another boat was casting allot almost seemed like they were trying to catch Bass While Trolling.
Who fishes for Bass Anyway?
Not sure if any of you have tried to work Frenchman's Bay...
But there is a trench that is about 100 feet wide by about 4000 feet long, that is only about 12 ft. deep, which creates for short runs and tight turns.
We power'd up the electric troller, and looked over to seeing the 2nd boat head for shore...
thinking either the fish arnt on or they've been out for awhile....
after our seventh pass down the trench, I started getting frustrated,
Watching those Bass fishers pull in already 4 fish,
We headed back south for our 8th pass, only about 50 feet from those bass fishers, they were now trolling and hit a pike.... .....
We were doing the same thing, the same Speed....
It is what it is I guess.
Well I get about as far south, as the lure would allow before taking on Weeds...
Turn around and start on the north troll, almost instantly, I get into a nice 6 pound'r...... A really easy fight, But my Blue/silver cotton-cordell, Worked .....
After that, EVERY north troll produced another pike, got into the 4th northern on that same silver-blue, When I grabbed the rod, I had to pass it off to my Friend Trevor.
it Was the best of the day at just over the 9 pound mark....
Produced 5 pike for the short day out, with only one Fish spitting the hook.
And Trevor had something on his line, It hit hard and "CUT" the line almost as fast as it had hit.....
It was well worth Skipping out on work today, I'm thinking im gonna be seeing allot of Frenchman's bay over the next few weeks...
BTW, I dont have the option to catch Eye out here like you Quinte guys, so I have to Settle with Northern pike
