it begins with the hard water... i've been committed to at least once a week, and made as many as 3 trips... still working a 45 hour week...
when i wind down the ice, it will be time to do a little salmon fishing on Winni, as well as fishing for the stockies in the local ponds...
by May, it will be time to fill the freezer with cod and haddock( bless the man that invented vacume sealing), taking advatage of the inshore spawn....
June brings in the( big) bass, live lining mac's and trolling goo-goo's in the mouth will kick off the season... day break may find schools of mixed sizes on top when moon wind and tide collide..I'll be ready with a fresh batch of spooks..
The last week in June, first week of July brings the end of the herring run and some mighty fine night time fishing, the water is warming so plugs come into their own.... by The end of July, I'm out on the beach front, prowling the sand bars and rock piles, it's strickly a night time game now and most of the "tourists" have fallen on hard times..August is ususly a good month, IF I can get outside... plovers still rule the beach so acess is limited unless I use the boat...or go rock hopping to the north..
by early September the blitzes are on... for me, it's still a night time game... for the most part, i have the shore line to myself.. by early October the big pods of fish from a few weeks ago are already getting hard to come by, but when you find them it's non stop fishing... it's all plugs all the time now... the boat comes of fthe dock the 15th of october.. I'm tired now and glad for the break....now, I've caught up on my sleep, cleaned my reels, repaired my rods and with the boat hauled and put away i count the days until the water freezes...
