Draggin the Line With John and DD

The 3 of us fished Saturday the 19th and the previous weekend in Canada. Pretty much the same area both days just north of old C can. Got our 18 fish limit in 2.5hrs with fish 18-23" this past saturday. Weight was 42lbs. No sorting...didn't catch anything smaller than 18". Got about 5 sheep and 2 white bass also. The week before the 2 of us caught our limit in 3hrs with fish 20-26' that weighed 33lbs. Got only one sheep. Speed 2.2-2.5mph. Had on Spoon harness on 3 setting dipsey @ 60 and 65 and PWC on both boards at 100. Same program both days but added dipseys @ 1 setting at 48 and 53 with 3 of us with a worm harness and a J9. Everything caught.

Are the commercial nets still out that way?

Saw a few on US side.None in Canadian waters.

Thanks for the report... just curious where the old "C" can might be?

Few miles east of Kelly island on the us Canada line

They used to mark the border with cans back in the day before GPS. That can was called C can and its like 3-4 miles east of kellies island shoal.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm still learning the lingo of the lake a little bit and hadn't heard of the old C can before.

I also didn't know this so thanks for asking about it. Always cool to learn something new.

Years ago I didn't know it either. I was going fishing with a friend about 6 yrs ago and I reached out to a charter captain friend about where we should start.He told me C can and some numbers.I thought he was talking C can on the firing range.We took off toward the firing range C can and as I was watching the latitude and longitude numbers changing I realized we were going the wrong direction.I did some quick googling on phone and realized the error and where we needed to go.Took a big u-turn and eventually ended up where we needed to go.But the guys gave me that look like I was an idiot.Heard about it all day.Thank God we caught well that day.
