October 23, 2009

Went out with Jerry and trolled the Rideau.

We launched at 10 am and headed towards the 416 bridge.

Weather was really nice, not too much wind and water was 45 Deg.

Not much was happening until 11:45 am when trolling a depth raider in 12 FOW at 4.5 mph when my rod went off. I picked up the rod and felt 2 nice head shakes and then that was it. She came in easy but got pretty pissed at being netted. In the interest of not getting any hooks into my hands I cut all of the hooks off of my depth raider.

She was a scrappy 33 inches.














We did several passes under the 416 bridge and came up empty. We trolled down to the wall. We had agreed to fish until 3 pm when at 2:45 pm my rod went off again. This time it was a believer but same depth and same speed.

I picked up my rod and she gave me head shakes all of the way to the boat. She fought like a much bigger fish. Again, not a big fish but a fish non the less.

Really nice 35 inches.
