Dalhousie Apr 18th

Went out from Dalhousie Saturday. Lots of boats out and a beautiful day. Started in 10-15 fow for a couple hours then moved deeper. Tried pretty much everything in the box, but no luck. Didn't see a whole lot being caught either. Still a great day though. Anyone have any luck and if so, what was the combo?

West of Jordan in the planer board dodging championship the bite was decent till about 10 in 12-18fow j-ll and ripplin Redfins off the boards. We went 3/5, a brown a king and a ho......fish are very scattered right now with no bait marked.

Looks like Saturday is going to be the day to make the trip...years ago I launched out of Hamilton Harbor,  anyone having any success from shore that north of Jordan?

Your best bet is to stay on the QEW and fish between grimsby and port weller...the west end doesn't heat up till June/July

Good to know,  it was over 20yrs ago when we would launch out of Hamilton...as early as Good Friday...caught some nice spring kings back then....looking forward to getting lines wet...going to be cold but winds look pretty forgiving after this week!

we went out on the Friday the 17th in the aft, 4 kings, 2 browns.  guys were pounding bottom and getting easy lakers out a bit deeper.  haven't heard much lately tho.

Where were out of slickrick?

[slickrick]

port d, to Jordan and back.  best action  off daley, but that was a week ago, who knows now.

Went 2 for 10. Tough bite. Seems they where just swiping at it, lots of grabs but by the time we get to the rod they were off. Oh well, never a bad day of fishing. Weather was perfect.

Many fish to be had today for us colour was key...one rod caught most our fish

[gumper14]

Pretty much the same. 6 of 10 came off same colour. Hope wind report is wrong!!!

were you guys in the pack off pt weller?  we headed towards daley this afternoon, but water was gin clear and 38 dg.  didn't go in tight, instead trolled to weller where we found 45 dg temps.  salvaged the trip with a 16 lb greaser.

[gumper14]

Nope, out of Jordan trolled toward pt d. Large cluster off creek west of pt d. Water temp 43-45. Blue/silver straight back flat did better than the planner board.

The water in tight was holding a lot of fish in the am, east of Jordan was hot Td also
