not sure, lots of marinas to launch at...only free launch i know of is at the causeway on chemong. ive caught skis on the west side of the gannon narrows and east side east of kishgo south end near emily and up in the north end near nogies creek. The lake once again, I cannot stress enough is loaded with musky. Go poke around and you will find them, its the best place to hone your blade as far as I am concerned. Theres plenty of 40+ fish to wet your chops and learn the ropes.

I wonder if those muskies are in the reeds chasing bullheads after dark. One of their primary food sources..

No, that boats was an aluminum Crestliner. And for your question above about the pencil reeds, they grow several feet high above the water surface.

Works best in low light conditions and is deadly after dark. Use large black single hooks spinner baits and crank them slow.

Here's a fun little tidbit for you if your gonna fish the Kawarthas siwash. Many of those lakes have large patches of pencil reeds that grow in shallow water with a sandy bottom and hold lots of muskies. Throw single hook spinnerbaits into the weeds and you have an excellent chance of hooking up. I once caught 9 fish in 2 hours using that tactic. Funny though as I've fished pencil reeds in lakes outside the Kawartha's with no luck...go figure.

Never used them but I think the Grinders have a pretty good reputation.

Never heard of a jointed Jake but that doesn't mean they don't exist so always used the straight ones but for Believers I liked the jointed models. Nets are much better than cradles especially when fishing alone. Myself, I much preferred the Frabil handle & frame but liked the Beckman bag better so I combined the 2 and it made an excellent combo but that was just my opinion.

Buck tails can get a lot of lift at speed to be honest I’ve trolled it slow and got lots of fish but I prefer it more for covering water up to 10 feet fan casting i have a very difficult time trolling for extended periods for to squirrelly for that I’m a caster that likes to move around

Tying PP directly to the welded ring already provided atop the flouro huskie muskie leader and snap lure on the end. TDR is definitely a good rod for trolling. Speed as fast as you can move without your lure blowing up out of the water, differs by the lure.
