New baits- old dreams
Starting the 2013 season was a constant wait for something ,from baits to decent weather ,to free time from work and family obligation .Finally the shipment from CCMoore arrive ,the weather make a turn to normality ,and at work I have two weeks with an easy schedule .
Make same preparation for a 36 hours of testing new baits CCMoore -Meteor and the all ready famous range of pop ups -Secret Obsession and Northern Specials .Hit the rod Monday morning ,direction Long Sault on the majestic St.Lawrence river .The area that I want to fish is in a very big bay ,looks more like a big lake , 1,8 to 2,2 m the depth ,patches of weeds and sandy bottom .After a 30-40 min. of feature finding with the marker ,I settle for two areas ,one in 2m. of water ,close to a weed bed and same snags ,70 m distance ,second, close in 40 m , in 1,8 m depth on a small plateau .Start baiting the two areas with a mix of boilies Meteor and a mix of pellets -Meteor ,hemp ,csl .On the plateau i put a pop up rig with a Secret Obsession ,and at long range a snowman -Meteor topped with Northern Specials . Pour a coffee and start the waiting game .The water is still cold for this time of year ,just 14 C. ,and no singht of movement .I new that on this bay , the fish will start showing just after noon .By 14 PM. come the first take ,on the long range rod ,a nice 14 pd-er common . Till the night had 5 more takes with fish 15 to 22 pd ,most on the long range rod .By 11,30 I take the rods out ,and went for a few hours of sleep .4 o-clock in the morning ,the rods in, and a few spombs of baits out went . Till noon I had 8 more takes ,the biggest 32 pd-er ,plus a bonus of a 15 pd. mirror .For St.Lawrence is very rare to catch mirrors ,last year in the all season I had just one . The big fish come on the close in rod CCMoore -Secret Obsession pop up .Very good session ,looking forward for the next one .
