Fantastic day with Chris and Don today for a short 4 hour shakedown. Weather very cooperative after a 4 day North blow. Don reeled in and released this handsome 26" salmon that weighed very close to 7 lbs today. The 2018 season has begun for us!

that was an awsome day frostbite fleet and a dandy of a salmon to start 2018. the morning was cool 27 degrees and my guides were freezing up. keep after them.

gOod to see you guys out there today... What a pretty day to be on the big pond.

From the looks of Don's fish we caught her sister a couple hrs later and about 8 miles away.... Took .4 deg increase in water temp to pay off with a beauty, just like Don said on the radio...

Shaping up to be a great season already!!

Wow, another 7 pounder in a boat already. It is starting out much better than 2017. I'm really getting the itch. Thanks for the post and the picture!

I'm getting ready, may have to start taking a day off here and there. Great to see some life in the Forum!

Brightened up version with editing program to remove the shadows.

[fishy1]

good job ron. i got to learn how to do that. lots of our pics of harry and i out lake ontario has a shadow in them form the cover on the boat.

Don used a program on his I-phone to brighten it up. Pretty cool for those shadow photos when the sun is in the clouds. Made the sun come out in the whole photo!
