Had a GREAT day out a Pigeon on Sunday. My wife and I headed out to the provincial park and trolled around in the canoe. Trolled with a bottom bouncer all day with minnows. I can't believe how many strikes bit short and left just the head of the minnow on the hook. We switched from a single hook/spinner to a double hook (worm harness) and didn't lose nearly as many. Minnow were the hot ticket of the day for us.
For some reason I couldn't find my tags (over 50 cm) as I would have easily filled them both. Quite a few decent sized guys.
Here's my best of the day at 55 cm and thick.
The picture doesn't do it justice but this guy measured 59 cm. My wife caught this one.
The waves picked up pretty early, and it was getting a bit nerve racking out on the water when the wind picked up so we got off the water around 1:00.
See ya
