Fishing!

Steep learning curve this. Found out why a spinner is called a spinner (duh). Also found out that it is possible to reel in a lure quicker than the fish can get to it. I watched two asthmatic fish get outpaced. Watched another fish jump at the lure. My casts don't seem to go much further than about 50ft or so. That doesn't seem too fantastic. I slapped a reasonable weight on the rig. Still excellent fun though.

Most anglers proficient at casting average 25-30 yards, depending on their tackle and wind conditions. When I used to guide, I'd teach people new to fishing to cast this far.1

Trickier to cast with weight plus a lure ....better to have heavier lure. Put a big spoon on and watch it fly.
Wind can be very useful or very frustrating.
You try any bait fishing with a float yet?

Not yet. Might save some of the langostine we bought for dinner to use.

I don’t mind pontoon boats but unless it’s got several decks, is the size of a small island and is staffed by butlers I’m not sure I like them.

Try out one of the tri-toons with 300+ hp and much of the pontoon hate goes away. They handle surprisingly well. Thirsty though and 80+ mph on a floating dock is a strange feeling.

I could completely love a pontoon boat in sheltered spots like Quinte and all those nice lakes north of Kingston. They are a pita to trailer , but what a great fishing platform.

I’ll be on holiday in late June and booked a day salmon and trout fishing . Wife says if I actually land a fish over 5lbs it will only be worth about $200 a pound and I probably wont be able to keep it anyway , that’s fishing . Gal is not wrong lol .
