Little bit of everything

Finally for us weekend warriors some good weather! So much to do as we all have....but I wanted to fish and off to the lake I went. Got on water about 4:30 and surface temp in low 50's.  Liked what I saw for pike and eyes. Fished till dark in my usual spots and only took a few small pike......thought to myself,...Ontario is only 45 minutes so I pulled the boat and headed out. Got to lake Ontario and was greeted by a big moon and light wind.  Worked a few spots to no avail and then ran into a pod at about midnight.  Doubled up and swung back for a third and back to owasco I went. Reflected on a risk and reward night happy with my luck and then BAM.....10 minutes from camp I hit a deer head on with boat in tow......no swerving, just had to commit. Minimal damage to the old Yukon but put a damper on the night. Anyway, today was next chance to get out with my oldest son......temp left and water was cold again....traveled a bit and found mid 50's and it wasn't long and board went screaming with a nice breach. Got a real nice brown to the net. Couple more small lakers and eater browns then the core goes screaming. Thought another brown, ended up being a PB laker for my son. Finished off back with some small pike and pre spawn perch.  Mid 50's was best, bait showing up. Boards did damage with sticks in blk/silver. Core fired once with stinger yellow jacket,  but was big fish of weekend. Was nice to see the sun agian!!

Great report and seemed like good fishing! No good about hitting the deer, but hopefully it all ended up ok

Awesome, your dedication definitely paid off. I tried Owasco for bullheads last Saturday evening and think I was a couple weeks late since there were none to be seen.  I did jig a laker in about 4’ of water off the inlet. About 27” pretty strange but quickly released it.
