Wind wind go away…
We another weekend of fishing has come to an end and this one couldn’t end soon enough. The winds in Southern Ontario were a little bit crazy this weekend. The coast guard has small craft warnings with gusts over 100 Km as well as the forecast on windguru had the winds gusting over 80km and it changed every direction throughout the day so even if you found a nice quiet bay within an hour or so the wind would change direction and you would be on the move again in some pretty bad waves. We started our morning with some calm water and managed to check out a few spots for our upcoming tournament on the 16th, but we only managed a few hours and we were sent packing by the brutal winds.
We did find a great spot to spend our afternoon on the Trent river. We were completely sheltered from the wind and made for a great afternoon of fishing. On our way back to West Lake Willows we drove through Wellington and were able to see how bad Lake Ontario was, and it was bad. Some very high waves that were in 4 – 6 foot range, along with some large rollers. The best part of the weekend was once again spending time with the ORWL guys and even though we didn’t get a lot of fishing done, the poker game and swapping of stories always makes for a fun time.
