Perch slamming off of Wheatley Harbor!

[Hawg Hunter]

As I've stated before I got back into fishing May, 2005 after 40 some years! I've always heard about the "perch run" that the Wheatley Boys enjoy off the dock but up until now never could imagine what anyone was talking about.........

Well, WHOOOOOOOA! Since, Thursday, June 22nd. which was an awesome experience in itself [75 perch and nothing under 10 inches, was a "keeper", that day.] I pulled mostly 11 - 13 inchers........ total pounds of fillets was over 14 lbs.

Today, me and my girlfriend caught 27 within an hour... to some this may be no biggie... yesterday we were catching perch on anything.... worms, and dried salted minnows.

Which to me is perfect timing since next weekend [July 8th.] is the "Kids, Kops and Canadian Tire Fishing Derby" at the Wheatley Harbor....Wayne Izumi is scheduled to participate at the Kid's Derby... starting at 7 a.m.

If you've got kids. grandkids, or nieghbor kids [there's no such thing as a bad kid!!!]; or, steal a kid [LOL!]..... do them a favor bring them on out...... bait, rods and, a good time is provided...... you'll end up doing yourself a favor watching the look on their face pulling their first fish...

Remember, this old saying: " If you give a man a fish, he will have a single meal. If you teach him how to fish, he will eat all his life "..

Bring a child, teach a child and we will have saved our fishing future!

See you July 8th., 2006 at Wheatley Harbor............ call 519-825-7560 [Last Chance Tackle], if you need directions.
