Manitoulin Island King!

I'm not doing the derby I have a wedding to attend or else would definitely be there. Good story of the rock n roar. gotta make it there one of these years.

I picked up 3 chinnoks 3 lakers in meldrum sat morn. Then fished west bay sunday afternoon for a go and hit a 12# near honora bay. A guy out there picked up 3 while I was there. The big one being 23#.... he was running a NK mag with a blue strip. We were fishign deep 70-100 in 120 fow

I think since Gore bay had a very successful salmon spawn and plant 4yrs ago. it just might be the place to be these next couple weeks for some monsters returning to spawn.

Good heads up on Gore bay!

Just got back from holidays...man it's tough after 12 days off. I did amazing in Michael's Bay...fished after supper till around 10-10:30pm...caught chinny's every time out. 30' of water using riplin redfins...blue / black / green...didn't matter. I was setting dipsy's 75-80' back on a "3" setting..wasn't sure it would work being so close to the boat. They hit them more often than the riggers...3-1 probably. Had multiple double headers..once when alone...landed one fish only..lol

I seem to be doing better than anyone else out there...didn't see many fish being caught from other boats. Once it got dark I would switch to Mr. Flounder Pounder...those fish go crazy over that lure..I went and bought 4 from the up top.

Best night was 7 for 11! 90% of fish were nice and silver still. Anyway...had some of the best fishing memories...biggest fish was 19.7lbs caught by my father in law.

Water temp was 69-71 degrees in the bay.

Just wondering if anyone has been out on the Island yet?

I hear the water is still very cold and not many are being caught.

good reports out of prov and south bay so far. Haven't heard much about meldrum yet. Myself, i just haven't had time to much fishing. Making time this month though.

Really nice to see some of our Canadian friends on the site. Keep the reports coming.
