Ok that chick really does look like a Robin. Maybe with this horrible weather a Robin really did break in for a comfy spot to stay until spring comes! The poor Robin's and killdeers around here have been in a panic since last weekend's storm

So i had another good look at it in the daylight today and it may be a girl...comb is red but smaller than the light brown leghorns and it definitely has salmon or maybe some mahogany (its pretty red for salmon) in the breast.
And definitely blue blue blue.

Hey Ross first fishing trip 1st or 2nd weekend in May if things go as planned.

How you doing these days Ross? My best fishing buddy just bought a used Great Lakes fishing boat .... 26 feet cuddy cabin, captains chairs fully rigged for trolling for walleye on Lake Erie. It will be a comfortable big water ride. It will be docked at Port Stanley I will be making several trips down this summer to fish. I am sure we can get you and your grandkids out some day if you are up to it.

Question: Why would you go all the way to Lake Erie when there is fantastic fishing in Eastern Ontario with all these lakes? Don't mind me, just askin'. My husband is the one who does all the fishing and loves it out this way, especially since we moved here.

KimChick,

I fish Eastern Ontario a lot as well, but there is not the same type of fishery in Eastern Ontario that can match the Great Lakes when you are after certain species.

We usually eat fish once or twice a week and prefer fish I catch. I fish Lake Erie for walleye. Eastern Ontario has lots of Lakes with walleye, but main are over-fished and the limit is only 4 fish, so when fishing Eastern Ontario for walleye I usually only keep a couple.

Lake Erie has an abundance of large walleye and you can keep 6 per licence and the Lake Erie can support a regular harvest of fish, MNR reports this year is best walleye population in 20 years. Plus fishing on Lake Erie for walleye uses different techniques then when I fish in Eastern Ontario. So Lake Erie is a nice road trip, my family lives down there, lots of fish for the freezer and different fishing techniques. Love it!!

I also regularly travel to the Toronto area for fish Lake Ontario for salmon, no 4 pound bass is Eastern Ontario can compete against fighting a 30 pound salmon with the CT Tower in the background.

The big lakes are also a different feeling to small lakes: close to ocean fishing.
