@Scarborough817  Dude zone 17 opened this past weekend....you mean you didn't get out?

 

I was working this past weekend, so I went out today and caught them on spinnerbaits and square bills.

We caught them on Keitechs, rat-l-traps, baby 1-, and jerkbaits whenever I was up 3 weeks ago @Scarborough817. Good luck out there!

I'll be on either the Grand River or my local lake in Guelph.

I didn't know about this until late May.  Unfortunately I can't go.  I will join next year though, I hear it's well run and great fun.

I participated the last two years and had a blast both times,  it's a great event!

Definitely check it out next year.

Border City Classic, kayak tourney.

Opener for me is about getting the rust off, so I take everything with me and practice applying them all in different locations and situations to see what the fish will react to the most.

 

Thanks to different weather patterns over the last few days, I've had the chance to fish all the lures in my tackle bag and have done well on all of them.  I have also gained a lot more confidence in my casting abilities, in particular my ability to skip lures under docks.
