I think that when I tell you my hands hurt you know the fishing was good on the Chi today. We caught up with Marc Doiron who took some time away from his new store in Miramichi City to fish with us. This morning was as nice as you could ask for and the fishing was great. We idled down the channel and watched the Lowrance units for schools of fish. Find them and catch them. The incoming tide started not long after we got there and there was wave after wave of Stripers moving up with the tide.
Marc caught most of his on a Savage Gear Sand eel and I got most of mine on a Zoom Super Fluke. The fish were tight to the bottom and a lot of the guys trolling were not getting down to the fish. We talked to a couple of them at the ramp and they said it was terrible fishing.. That was not the case and we put somewhere around 100 fish in the boat. As I mentioned by hands hurt.
The afternoon was a different issue with the forecast 20k winds turned into 40 k at noon. Even with a 36 volt Minn Kota running on high it was hard to keep the boat in position when you found the schools. I ended up using it to slow down the drift and as long as we kept the baits near the bottom we could still catch them. I am pretty sure that I got my personal best today at 36 inches and it did not come to the boat without a fight.
All in all it was a fun day with Marc and we got enough footage that Shawn was able to grab a rod and get in on the action. It is truly a fantastic fishery.
