St. Lawrence River

[Bill Babler]

I'm treating myself to a retirement gift next year in June on the St. Larry.  These BPT guys are wacking 4 and 5 lb. Jaws as quick as they can get their junk in the water. AJ Jr. Had 5 that weighed 22 pounds in 33 minutes. Simply crazy.

I have been looking at that trip myself

Good for you Bill. That answers one of those lifetime bucket questions I had. "What do fishing guides do when they retire?" Good luck!!!

[Bill Babler]

Might have to try and put a group together.  Simply unreal the way they are wacking them Ehrler has two 5.9’s and a 5.10 in the first period. Lots of sight fishing but lots of casting Ned type baits also. 
 

I’m guessing someone will have at least 150 lbs. of 2 pound plus jaws today. They should have made it a 3 pound minimum.

Yep that is pretty neat.  Look forward to hearing about how the fishing was.

Quill, you might have to interrupt your busy schedule and go with me.

Bill, that would be great, I'm up for it.

I got to fish the St .Lawrence twice in the early 80's .That was before Gobies were in the system. It is not only a scenic area but the fishing is beyond great . I would love to get back up there. I would definitely be in for a group trip. One would really need to be gone 2 weeks to fully enjoy the trip. It is about 1300 miles to Waddington ,1200 miles to Alexandria Bay N.Y from KC Mo. Alexandria Bay is closer to Lake Ontario. The water is huge up there, makes the Rock look like a pond.
