well, may comes to an end, and with it... this report. i worked the shop today, Fishmasters Bait and tackle in Dunnville. as usual, i had time to kill. lol. so, as i typically do, i go out and toss a bait around the marina since its rite outside the door. couple buddies were there this morning tossing some lures around the marina and river banks. they ended up gettin a couple little smallmouth and largemouth bass, and 1 smallie that was at or around the 2lb mark. once they had gone and i had some free time, i went down and started my shore pounding. target was crappie or silver bass. a walleye would have been a sweet bonus. conditions were... tough... to say the least. it was as windy as it gets.
Wind... flags are straight out
made several casts along the shore line when i finally hooked a fish... OOS largie, about a pound. didn;t have the camera out for the first, so after i released it, got my camera and figured i;d document my catches for a report. lol. so, back to the fish! continued fishing, casting, retrieving... another hit, seen it take it, just little, thinkin it was a crappie... no, smallest largemouth i have ever caught.
dink OOS Largie
quick pic and release. and more casting and retrieving. well, as said, the weather sucked! and got worse.
POURING RAIN
now, as i;m standing outside, and its beginning to rain, and my brain is sayin.. "stop u idiot! go inside!!" but, u always have this urge to make that last cast... well, i made it... 7 times... haha. but it payed off with a small silver bass!
silver bass
after that, it was indoors for a bit! so as i watchin the rain fall.. i didn;t really do anythin... i was bored. so, i took a walk to the back to check on ZOE, my buddies dog and her puppies.
puppies
anyone interested, they are for sale and will have the first shots and be registered i believe. call 905-701-6874 if ur interested. they are pure bred golden retrievers. mother is an excellent hunting dog.
so, the rain stopped!
back to the water! well, didn;t get anythin else from the marina. so after my shift, i made my way around and hit another spot close by. and alas, it gave me another largie.
all fish were caught on a small chartreuse spinnerbait. using a 5'6" light action rod with 6lb mono.
the grand is an often over looked bass fishery. there are some very big bass in this river and it hold both large and smallmouth bass. as well as silvers for the better part of spring and early summer when they are spawning. fish readily hit jigs and spinners and there is so much prime waters to fish these scrappy fish. i urge u to give it a try, u might be happy with what u find!
marina is deep enough to allow large boats to be launched, and the ramp has excellent traction and no issues with slipping even when wet. bait and tackle store rite on site. no time limit for when boats much be pulled from the water. can;t beat that!
few pics of the marina
