Today me and my buddy had the pleasure of experiencing something that only happens once in a blue moon... fishing, in a boat, in November, in Southern Saskatchewan. Generally by now there is at least a foot or better of snow on the ground and the daily average temperature is generally mid 30's - 40F. This day was different however, the high was around 18C (64F) and although there was wind occasionally, it turned out to be more then a fantastic day. Here's the low down and a memory I want to preserve because this chance doesn't come around all that often (all fish were catch and release).

Docks were removed about 3 weeks ago...

There were other fish caught today... various sizes of Perch, smaller Walleye, a few smaller Jack and one Tulibee. We didn't catch the amount of fish we have the last couple times out but the quality of fish and size of fish more then made up for the sheer numbers. If this weather keeps up I might be fishing on Christmas Day! (pipe dream I know)
