Draggin' the Line with John and DD

[itsbob]

Went out fishing with John yesterday and my girlfriend was able to go with us for a change.Had not fished with John in almost a month due to him getting his new boat repaired.Coming back from put in Bay memorial weekend he hit the CIC wall and damaged the stern corner.Started out at Lucy point thanks to Billy Boy's post...thanks and marked alot of fish.The ride out was beautiful, with a gorgeous sunrise and a flat lake.DD sat in the copilot seat and enjoyed the fast non bumpy ride.Set out 4 dipsies and 2 boards and headed north.Was picking up fish right away but they were mostly shorts and barely legal.We trolled into Canada and turned around about half way into Pelee after bite slowed.Then started catching some sheep and a 10# cat.After 90 min had 7 in box then decided to head east where we drove past last week.Marked alot of fish a few miles east of Kelly's Island shoal but there were too many nets a too rough to fish thestre.Today with Canadian licences we could fish north of those nets.There were good marks but mostly on the bottom of 39-42 fow.Set up and got better fish with hardly any shorts.Got the rest of our fish in another 3.5 hrs so 18/33 lbs at cleaners.Speed was around 2.7 mph and had two green spoon harness on dipsey 3 setting at 85 and 80 and double willow harness on 1 setting at 60 and 65.Wad a gold bandits on a board that caught 1 fish and a harness on a tru trip that caught one also.But almost everything on the dipseys.The midges were terrible without any wind and after John spend a whole day cleaning the boat after the repair, the midges trashed the boat.Going over there now to help him clean the boat.

I did the Lucy’s point thing again yesterday. I had a second person on the boat. First line in the water by 5:00am first fish on at 5:02. Didn’t even get the board on. Pulled harnesses, and spoons. Harnesses were catching 3 to 1, so went all crawlers. Had our 12 by 10:00 smaller then the other day 16-21 mostly 18ish some shorts and a few by catch

We arrived at 7:00 and had alot of action initially too I was looking around for you too but hardly any boats in sight.On a footnote,when was helping John clean his boat at the CIC marina, heard some kid yell,"I need a net".Walked over a couple slips and this kid had a good size walleye hanging just out of the water.Couple minutes later another kid ran over with the net and got it out of the water.Was a 21" walleye he caught on an Erie dearie.And only 9 yrs old Helped him unhook fish and positioning for pictures Was pretty cool Guess that saying that walleye shy away from boat traffic definitely didn't effect that fish
