Fishing with David and Don Goodrich 6/16/17
by Capt Juls on 06/16/17David wanted to take his father Don fishing for a Father's Day present, so he booked his trip early, and got lucky with some terrific weather today. We met at Mazurik's at 5:45, so we could launch by 6am. Don is 79, so we didn't rush him this morning. ;)
The air temp was warm, the sky was clear, and the wind was light out of the south. We headed north this morning and crossed the line to fish on the other side. After calling into the Canadian authorities for permission to enter their country, we were given our number and continued on to the east side of Pelee island.
We ran crawler harnesses with the same program I was running on the US side, which was 1 oz 41 and 51 back and 2 oz's at 41, 45, 47, and 50 back. At one point a 3oz was put out at 41 back also, and that one did well too.
The fish are much nicer up there and you don't have to deal with the hatch there yet...and the numbers of small throw backs is minimal.
David and Don enjoyed their trip very much, and let me know it, so I was grateful and very happy to have been given the opportunity to make it a memorable day. I enjoyed their company very much too. It was a perfect day....sans the biting black flies...ugh!
Tomorrow is another opportunity to head to our northerly neighbor's waters to catch some more big fish. I'll have another Father and Son team to work with. :)
The winds will be up a little more than they were today, but it shouldn't be bad. I'll have to watch the weather before I go to bed to see when the "chance of showers and thunderstorms" will be arriving. That can be a long ride back when it's pelting rain drops on your eyeballs. lol
Sorry this is so short...but, I have tons to do yet tonight before bedtime....
Stay tuned....
