I didn't fish enough in May and June, other than a fly in trip I did in Northern Ontario that was great, but I had a very good July fishing Steelies and Made 2 trips in August to lake Ontario. one was great and the other was fair. I'm not done yet. Still want to get some perch and fall eyes. Overall, it has been a solid year.

The fuel prices imacted us a bit too. We selected the best days we could to not waste fuel, bait etc. I made my own ice this year, caught my own crawlers, took more buddies willing to chip in on gas and it wasn't too bad. I tried to get really good info on where the fish are so I wasn't running all over the lake. Stay in touch and next year we can try a trip together. Late May is my favorite time of year to slay the eyes.
