Today the destination takes us over to Lake St. Clair in South Western Ontario.
After an early morning run down the highway in the RAM, Muskie are the target today as Charlie and Terri join up with Captain Jim Fleming of Drifter 2 Charters. Planer boards are used for this shallow water fishery, and line counter reels are used to run multiple lines. But with weeds always a problem, a helpful way of rigging can keep the baits free of debris. Not all lures are created equal, but Jim has his own special way of making them produce more hits. Balanced for success, this week on …Fishful Thinking.
