Casting Report - 7/11/10

So many fisherman, so many different styles. I've never intentionally "fished the swing". I'm sure the boat was contributing to my cast, drag, reel up slack, repeat fishing motion while casting, but it's amazing to me that so many fisherman conquer this fishery with so many different styles. I like trolling, I like catching more fish faster due to covering more water and having 2 rods in the water per person, but there's no denying there's nothing like feeling that strike on a medium-light rod and fighting that fish to the boat. Hell, even when I went on a trolling trip in April, the captain (who I'll not name) was adamant that he preferred trolling got really pumped when a fish hit the crank while he was setting it out.

Good luck on Ontario. Be safe and tight lines. I'm heading up to Erie in 10 hours and I can't wait!

Salmon fishing was poor this year. 2 days of fishing we kept 7 fish. We normally find it fairly easy to get our limit. We marked very few fish. Average boat had between 0 to 6 fish. Still going back next year.

Don't feel bad. It's poor on Lk. Michigan too. Has been for a couple years. Did catch a few Perch out there this weekend though.
