RE: Heading To Jacksons Point
Just got back from Jacksons Point again. Man if was the hottest day of the year according to the weather and no relief from the sun on the breakers. Only harvested 2 non jumbo yellow perch. One of which was gut hooked and I was hoping it would survive after the hook was removed but it was still not moving much and floating there after 30secs so I decided to keep it. Thankfully it measured just over the 6" (IIRC 6" is min for all fish listed in the Ontario Fish Eating guide) at 6.5". Other perch was 7.5". I did recieve 2 bass from a family man with his kids and wife. I think they are rock bass. Let me see if I can do a photo upload. I only harvested 4 fish. 2 of which I caught myself.
I spent a whole day there and IIRC my catch was: - ~20+ round gobies (lost count after 20 but humanely dispatched them) - 1 x approx 1lb small mouth bass (lost off the hook when taking it in by the yellow railing by the 2nd breaker but had 3 witnesses) according to a guy that fishes a lot and can approx size/weight by sight. - 2 x XL sunfish. I think pumpkin seed. - ~5-6 small sunfish - ~4 small perch - 1 x ~8-9" bullhead catfish Most of my hookups on the large sunfish and bass was ~9am. All using earth worms plucked from the ground. IIRC earthworms are like ~3.99-5.00/1 dozen which is darn pricey to me if you fish a lot. If you rarely fish and buy the bait out of the blue then ok still pricey but it is a at the moment use. I am able to pluck fatties out of the back/front lawn and down at the park at a rate of ~7-9/minute if conditions are just right and end up with a ton of worms. Way cheaper then buying bait unless desperate and the biting is so hot you use up all your worms you brought. There was a few families there together with thier kids playing around and one of the family men there was heading out tot he left of the left breaker in a 3 man inflateable but when he came back around 7pm after being out like 5-6hrs he got nothing and hardly anything but nibbles so I guess I lucked out with my catches. The baro was low and flatlined on my watch due to low pressure and from what I read online low pressure and calm before the storm fishing is best but I thought I would get some jumbos because of that thinking/reasoning but . Oh well at least I got a few for a fish fry. |
