Browns are hot

Post by Bearcat »

Decided to try for some browns in Ontario Friday. The reports from Mexico have been slow so we went west of Oswego. Did a dozen browns mid day, between 3 and 7 lbs, a few doubles, and one 5 lb atlantic, nearly all on stinger spoons. Best action I've seen in quite a while. Find that muddy water and 48-50 degrees and watch the rods! The fish were so fat it looked like some of them would have had trouble swimming. Will download pics but phone is too full, waiting for my friend to forward his photos to me.

I look forward to seeing those pigs. Been trying to connect with some here, but they are some spooky/picky fish. Caledonia yielded 0 for me.

Can't wait to see the pics! Haven't been out there for browns for a couple of years. Sure is a fun time.

Here's a small double and one that came off the mini board. Still waiting for my friend to send a picture of the first fish, only about 4 lbs but so fat it looked comical, looked like a blow fish.
