I had a great time on the water yesterday. In fact I just loaded up the smoker after "brining" the fish for about 16 hours. Should be ready tonight! Yesterday we caught several females that were in various stages of being spawned out. What does this mean? Well it means the run should be "ON" for another week and then begin to taper off just before Christmas (right on schedule). So, if you haven't been up to catch some whitefish you can still do so. By next weekend it will have really slowed down so either this weekend or sometime next week. I ate one fish for a "shore lunch" yesterday and it was unbelieveably tasty! I know Pat what having whitefish and eggs for breakfast this morning! It was a good day on the big blue pond yesterday (especially after we overcame a dead boat battery). Yeah, it even happens to the locals every once in a while! Not bad for fishing on the "13th". And yes, I am superstitious about those things!
