LIVE on Georgian Bay - England vs Italy, and other teams participating....

Good to hear both teams scored! Well played boys. Thanks for the reports and grats on the salmon.

Next year I will make sure I can have the whole day off to go out and fish with you guys, it was nice to meet some of you!

Jamie

team grampa only managed to boat a 2-3 pound salmon released

as offering to the fish gods in anticipation of more to come but more never came.

Well, what do I say. Good company. good fishing and so so weather.

Italy just couldn't seem to get it's act together today. Kept asking what lures to use?
What do you think I told him?

The rule on my boat is that we take turns on the rods after the first fish is caught.
I got the first, so Jerry takes the next rod to fire. All 3 fish came on my rod, 2 on the green ladderback Lyman and the other on a Shoehorn wonder bread spoon. My best 2 lures for fishing out of Collingwood. Marked most of the fish in 70-100fow

WE ran cheaters a lot of the day, but no takers higher up, despite marking fish in the upper half of the water column. We marked all kinds of fish, but only the 3 committed suicide. While it was a damp day out there, we had the top up and our rain suits on, so we were warm and dry.

Just checked my trailer wheel and it looks like the grease/dust seal leak is fixed. No sign of grease being thrown.

Jerry, thanks for joining me today--fun day.

Start thinking about your tactics for next year.

PS The Bradley will be in action tomorrow. Just going to fillet the fish now and then into the "Indian Candy" dry cure.

Hey Dan ; Let me know if you want to go out next week , Wasn't aware of today's derby

Did you check the livewell before the competition began???? Rumour has it......

Good on the crew for braving the elements!

Hey Myles

Good to see you and chat this morning.

Now that you have started posting again, I will have to start referring to you as a "poster".



Don't be a stranger keep on posting.

Yup Italy had a rough day today..

LOL...

For those wondering about the difference bwt the Lymans and other similar plug.. YUP the Lyman catches fish! The other... Doesn't.... J/K

But I did try my wonderbread j-plug, and ran it side by side the Lymans, and it has different action. The j-plug has a tighter wobble.. The fish today wanted the erratic wobble.

Experience won today and the English had the hotter lures and bigger tackle box..

Always a great time getting out with you.. Thanks again for the invite..

Also great to see Grampa and Myles today..

Jam1324, sorry we didn't get to meet up, I was late arriving..

It was a tough day, as stated, marked lots of fish, but very few wanted to play...

Cheers & Happy trolling..

LOL.. Thanks FatRap..

I did want to dive in the water at one point..

Score on a foul or penalty kick..

No worries Metalbuckle, I had to be off the water by 10 am to get to work for 8 am or else I would have hung around longer at the launch! I am sure we will cross paths eventually!

Jolley good show Ralph

Always a great post to read regardless of who wins. It's just a fun
read and also good to see the old boys out there doing their thing


Thanks again
