Yesterday afternoon I trolled from the upper river all around the old lighthouse, the water intake, Waverly shoals (on the Canadian side) in shallow waters. No walleye. But I did get a few nice bass. I brought the bigger one home to eat, and I skinned it and grilled it. I don't particularly like the taste. Nothing compares to walleye.

So in the future, all my bass go back. BTW, the reason I fished that area was that a Canuck friend of mine was reporting that walleye were in the shoals. If they were, you couldn't prove it by me. I was running 2 lines with harnesses. Believe it or not, I got the bass on green and yellow #5 flatfish on 4' leader. Anybody remember flatfish ?
