Nice results for a lake I continue to hear is hard to fish and as Terry has mentioned, holds no walleye lol I also love the last picture.

Well I hope something works out for you Carole.

Thanks Spiel. Weather any better down your way?

Sounds like a decent day.

when they went to the new board program we lost the hook up section

but now more people see it here on the main section , so life is good

Thanks Terry, thought perhaps I was just not seeing it.

Plans for the day have changed, if anyone feels like braving the elements to fish, shoot me a PM. I haven't a preference for location or species.

Have a great day everyone!

ps what happened to the old hook up section?

Nice to meet you Sis, I have heard many wonderful things about you

Definitely believe in karma. Good on you and congrats on that beauty muskie!

Sounds like an awesome trip....drive and photograph safe! Look forward to seeing some of the pictures when you return.

Excellent Ryan and everyone else who had a hand in this

Looks like a very good time! Thanks for sharing your photos and perspective with us. Ryan and his family are definitely "Good People".

Great to see you made the best of it Nice Report, I'm off with my 20 yr old son & one of his friends that has never fished before, hope we do half as good 13 degrees & 25 Km winds, but hopefully no rain

Richard

Best of luck! Look forward to hearing about it

Thanks for sharing a bit of Temagami with us. I have heard that it has been a hard year around there with all the wind and rain, glad to see you got at least a little fishing in.

Percher, found this picture for you.....

Cameron wasn't any better lol

Right on Carole Looks like you all had a great time fish wise.... weather.... well you made the best of it

 

On a side note.... you seemed to have lost quite some weight, hope you are doing better health wise

Thanks for sharing your outing with us!!!

Leechman

My health is better and continuing to improve, thank you. Family, good friends and good times help

holy bass batman lol Nice fish!! Congrats and look forward to reading about your next trip

Never caught a blue walleye, for that matter, never seen one in real life and you say you guys caught about 15...lucky! Thanks for taking the time to write it up and share. Looks like a fabulous area to spend some time, might have to put it on the list.

Beauty of an eye and nice smallies too!

Thanks Billy and thanks for making me feel young

Congrats! May the 2 of you share many fishing trips and great memories. Are you going to name it?

Welcome back. I don't fish Rice Lake much myself but I do know that it receives a lot of fishing pressure, perhaps that is why you are having trouble. Good luck and look forward to hearing that you are having some success.

Thanks Joey and couldn't agree more about the company. Was definitely brutal at times and we were glad that we had crossed Simcoe off the list early, can't even imagine what it was like today.

some very nice Pike....good luck with whatever is in the works for the show.

Sounds like a nice trip Dave. Keep meaning to try drop shotting, congrats on your success. Cool shots of the falcons.

Sweet Ryan! Congratulations Look forward to the show and the report for the fish-a-thon

A few weeks ago, Slowpoke and I began making plans to get out for some Lake O Salmon and this was to be the weekend. Starting watching the weather and hoping that the forecast would improve as the week went on. No such luck. Slowpoke and I each poured over weather and lake maps to try and find somewhere, anywhere to fish this weekend. After many discussions and changes in plans it was finally decided that we would head to a Kawartha Lake as we had found one area that looked as though it might be OK in my 14ft tinny. A few hours later, one last change, Percher would be joining us and we would fish out of his boat....I am so glad that we did.

The captain and co-captain for the day

The gents picked me up about 6:30 and we were off loaded with rain gear and hopes for a decent day. We were all watching the winds on the way up, arrived at the launch, boat in the water and wouldn't you know it, the rain starts and only a short while after that, the wind and not the forecasted wind for the area, white caps.

Took this shot just before the wind began to pick up

We decided to make the best of it and try trolling. 3 anglers in the boat, so three different presentations went in the water. Started marking fish but no takers, change up, 3 new presentations and something about maybe it was better to troll based on depth rather than at 12volts . Slowpoke gets first fish of the day.

Bass were biting fairly steady even though the rain and winds continued... a few pictures...

Thanks again Percher for the line tangles

Winds increased and we decided to tuck in along a shore line that has been good for me in the past. A few more bass were caught and then we started seeing this on the fish finder...

We made a few passes over the area, started catching perch and feeling some light, fast double taps.....walleye. Presentation change and.....

Slowpoke managed another before the bite shut right down. Moved on in hopes of teasing a few more fish out of the lake but no such luck.

Slowpoke and Percher...it wasn't a great weather day but the company was and the fishing decent, thanks again, I had a great time.

PS See, not a word about the sunfish...
