It was another great day out on the water and got a chance to fish with another board member. Winston might have to change his name to littlephart since he was not the person to be down wind from today.
Once again OP was humble and being a good host. He allowed all his boat guest to catch all the whities. He stuck to catching perch.
Today was all about Shovel. He finally landed his first Whitie after hundreds of hours chasing them all winter long. We weren't gonna leave the lake today if he didn't land one. He sat patiently at the front of the boat all day as he watched white fish after white fish being landed.
Winston with one of his many whities for the day. Notice Shovel in the background sitting lower in his seat.
We heard some [url=mailto:!@($]!@($[/url]&(@#^@^ mumbling from Shovel as each fish was boated. Finally felt sorry for him so I gave him my rod, lure and seat at the back of the boat. About 5 min, Shovel yells Fish ON!!!
Mike fighting his first Whitie with Winston cheering him on.
After fight celebrations
Notice the big grin on Shovel's face. He had a firm grip on that fish and I don't think it will ever leave his Hand. Another memorial day on the water with a great group of guys.

| Glad you and your boy had a good day out there Sly. The fish was really starting to turn on after we left. The bite got better after 12:00. Plus if you launched late the rain storm passed. We waited in the truck for about 20 min or so for the rain to stop before launching.

~~~Winston met up with me at my place, with coffee in hand, and as we enjoyed the coffee waiting for 2 other buds Slug, and Shovel to show up. When they arrived we hooked the Widdle Green Machine up and head to Simcoe, nice drive weather breaking, gaps in the clouds, yes should be a great day the Hell with the Weatherman, and as we turned left on to 48 it started to rain, and the close we got to Sibalds, it was pouring. So we sat there for a short time, and it started to lighten up so after a quick stop at the Throne room, we launched the boat. Then another bud who was already in the water waiting for the rain to ease, say he had been out there, with his wife, and got caught in the down pour, and she didn't want to go back out and since there were 4 of us would someone like to go ewith him, well I was half way out of my seat, when Winston reminded me I had to stay and drive the boat(fudge), and so he said he go because Shovel was sharing Slugs gear, and since he was already on the guys boat. Well we headed out us to deep water, about 79' just NW of Fox, well in wasn't to long before, Slugs lands the first one
Shovel had one on and lost it, and Winston and his buddy arrived just as I hooked into one, but instead of watching the rod, and fight the tip I was too busy watching it on the phish finder, and lost it 15' off the bottom, well things slowed down we moved out deep staying well away from the Armada, we marked some phish but very little action, Winston transfered back over to us, kind of fun watching him walk on water, told him to walk on the other side he was scaring all my phish. So after checking out a couple of other spots, we headed back to our first spot, and sure enough we had active phish just off bottom, and again Slug lands the first one, here is showing his rod technic
and was rewarded this nice beauty
not to be out done and losing a few Winston hooks in to one and while he was fighten it I gave him a report of what it was doing
you can see his phish was all over the screen with alot of active phish on the bottom, he finally land it, with a big smile, because he promised the GF, he bring one home for her to clean, what a girl
at this point both me and Shovel were phishless, we had phish on but not for long, and finally Shovel hooks into one, and gets it aboard, his Shunk is gone, been trying for years to land a Simcoe Whitie and finally he had one, no pics of it my batteries had died, but Slug got a shot of it, ot to sure how many were hooked into between the 4 of us, or how many the guys were able to land, We ended the day with some light Perch action, got checked out by the boys, in brown. All in all had a great day on the water, no one was safe from the ribbing that went on, a good time had by all ~~~Thanks Guys for another great day See you tomorrow
