Hi all....
I'm headed up to my wife's family's cottage near Bancroft on a SMALL lake called Cannon Lake (near the town of Maynooth). The lake is maybe 1.5km long, and 800m wide, but that's just a guess. The lake used to be used to transport logs in the area by floating them down the small river that feeds the lake. Now, the lake has a TON of sunken logs, which has created a very dark, clouded look to the water. I've always done well fishing bass in that lake around the weed beds, even pulling in some decent 2pounders. I always seem to catch small pike as well (a lot in the 23-28" range). My best success is with a med. spinnerbait with worm trailer.
My question to you is, if I want to give the centre of the lake, where there is a channel that runs from one end of the lake the next, and is approx. 20' deep, what would you suggest I use, given how unclear the water is? Perhaps jig with some brighter jigheads? Troll with small metalic=coloured spoons?
Thanks!!!
Mike
