This season started off slow with the late melt, in fact I have yet to launch my Fishin’ Mission… it’s all ready after spending the whole day there yesterday cleaning and making some minor repairs.
About a week ago Ken and I fished at South Entry, then neighbor Kurt and I went again. I have also fished Bete Grise and Lac la Belle and will be out there again tomorrow.
Ken bobbing for lake trout after we caught 4 trolling, he landed 2 with the hand line.
I forgot to get picts of the fish before cutting them up, but notice how nice the color is on these fillets of lake trout – looks like salmon
Small bass from Lac la Belle, catch and release only anyway. Notice all the fish on the sonar unit.
Trolling on Bete Gris
We’ve had a hard easterly blow for a few days, but it should be calm tomorrow for son Dan, neighbor Kurt and I on lake superior. We’ll troll for splake, then go deep for lake trout, maybe try at the mouth of the Montreal for steel-head.
