Draggin' the Line with John
We fished yesterday 7/1 east of pelee with John and Terry.Was a tough bite for us.The harnesses and spoon harness that had been catching didn't do much for us and we must have lost 8 fish half way to the boat.The bandits actually were catching the best so we added a couple flicker minnows to our set to catch a few more.The keepers weren't very big either.Our 14 weighed 27 lbs.Had the bandits at 120-80 and caught a few on J7 on our 2 dipseys on a 3 setting.Had speed between 1.8 to 2.5 but most fish came at around 2.3 mph.Maybe 5 shorts and 2 sheep too.Missed the rain but the flies were driving John crazy.Terry and I had long pants on and we were fine but John refuses to wear long pants and paid the price.

Great report. The flies are the worst.

Thank you.
Hopefully the fish will settle into a predictable summer pattern soon.
I don't like the flys but I'll put up with them for a reliable bite.
Right now it is the worst of both worlds.Mike

Re: Draggin' the Line with John
Should have switched over to more cranks earlier in hindsight.But with limited rods being able to use was thinking the activity phase would improve the bite and our harnesses and worm burners would start catching.Thinking the mayfly hatch affected the bite and the fish coming off....and full moon too.
