My friend from Burlington came down today and wanted to do some urban fishing. What place is more urban than Labatt's Dam. I cast in with a perch rig and worm and right away land a small rock bass. My friend is using a hook and weight on the bottom and is getting nothing but snags. I throw in again and get a nice 2lbs channel cat. Across the river there are some guys starting to smoke crack, so it's time to move on.
We go to the Forks of the Thames next. Over the next couple of hours shooting the breeze my friend snags 2 little bass. About 8 inches. These are the first bass I've seen in this area in a long time. Needless to say they were put back with care. I manage a small turtle that was let go with harm or trouble.
Not an awesome afternoon fishing but it was good seeing my friend.
Good times, man! The only thing better than the fishing was the company and your wife's baking. Let's make sure we have some hydration with us next time.
