East River Grind

[John Miller]

I launched at 3pm Saturday and headed to the east side. Started with a jig drift near motorand got biy quick, didnt get hooks though. Reset same drift, nada. Forthe third time this season i cast all the docks from Blue Water Marine down to South GI bridge, nada. In 5 casting drifts down the length of this shoreline only moved one fish with a follow. Anyhow back to yesterdays report. I stopped to talk to Mark Anderson at who gave me a few tips on spots to try. Armed with intel from Mark and a few important trolling tips from Jim Reynolds, i trolled acro$ river to Turners Reef down to GI bridge, casted shoreline north of bridge. Mived on to trolling pass south of bridge and connectrd quick on a Toothy, but it came unbottuned before i could get my hand on the rod. After inspecting the toothy for tooth marks i was surprisd to find three teeth embeded in my bait, pretty cool!! On second trollig pass I connected on the same lure. I attempted to snag net for release of 36, but it would come undone so i had to commit to net bag. Quick release and on her way about 700pm. Worked eastbside until dark amd then shot up to triangle. Didnt take long for another sliced up tube with out getting hooks. Trolled the night with no more action. 1/4 for the day.

Nice report.  How was the moss in the Triangle?  I'm stuck behind a desk today (newsletter), but I should be out tomorrow evening for some casting.  I'm still not in casting shape (or any shape for that matter) for Nipissing.

Moss is not an issue anywhere. I need to use spell check!

The moss / weed floaters were very bad from Harbor Place down the East river last night!

[John Miller]

Yea Larry there were sections where floaters where a pain, but moss was practically non existent
