I had a request to take some folks fishing on the Miramichi yesterday which I did. I only had a fair day when I was up there last week and was hoping for better. From some of the stories I heard we had been off the bulk of the fish by a quarter mile last time. We launched at the Enclosure and checked the area around Strawberry Marsh and Beaubear Island with no success. I fired up the Rude and headed straight up the river. After running the boat up on a sandbar last year I paid attention to the saved trail on the Lowrance Live this time. My intent was to start above where I was last week but as it turned out we didn’t have to go quite that far as we could see the fish breaking the surface and stopped. I dropped the Talon and we never moved the boat for the next five hours. Our biggest fish measured at 30 inches. It was pretty much non stop action on weighted white and shad coloured super flukes. The white worked best when the sun broke through, other than that it was hard to get bit on it. I think our guests from Ontario were pretty impressed with what the Miramichi has to offer. I would have gone back up again today but they have shut the upper portion down for the spawn and I had no luck below that. We were all using a variety of MH Shimano rods and 2500 series reels spooled with 20lb Power Pro.
