First Day Out This Spring
 

We went out to Pigeon for a couple of hours, and our numbers produced 35 walleye, and a pike. It took a different presentation, but we used our usual jigs and frozen minnows. We were in 12 feet of water, and had fish within a couple of minutes, so we dropped anchor and never tried anywhere else.

Sounds like a fun day of fishing. Buddy of mine was fishing Sylvan this morning and caught a burbot while he was trolling. Hoping I can squeeze in a day or two week after next when I'm on days off. I just upgraded my boat with a pair of Lowrance HDS Carbon 9's, a set of Lithium batteries for the TM and a new 3 bank NOCO Genius charger. Anxious to put it all to the test.

Frank, I had 10 at the boat before Elk had one. I was in his kitchen big time:sHa_shakeshout:

Well done....dont leave fish to find fish:)

Gotta Love those days because you know his day is coming. Take an early lead.

He didn't mention that he caught three before I even had the anchor out, and my rod put together. I look after the boat, so he always gets a head start.Then I tried jigging, which didn't produce a single bite, before I switched over to casting out and doing a very slow retrieve. Once I started the cast and slow retrieve, things evened out.

Are you woke???

Facts are facts.

Your feelings and mental gymnastics don’t count for jack:bad_boys_20:

Fortune swung my way. Next time out it may be different.

And even with your head start, I catch more some days. :sHa_sarcasticlol:

You mean those days I take nap in your boat?

What can I say… she’s comfy.

Like fishing with my wife. I haven't even got the trolling motor started & she's casting. And insists on being underqualified to drive. lol

Are those the times you're the best company ??:):)

LOL! :)

I’d toss him overboard for napping :sHa_sarcasticlol:

I have a fishing buddy just like you. I call him the Garden Gnome or Anchor Dork. Ptetty much front of the boat and sightseeing the days away. He hasn't spotted 1 reef in Northern Sask from the front of the boat that I didn't see 30 seconds before...from the tiller.

Likes to get the first cast off as we're entering prime bays too so I've started backing into them just to hear him whine.
