nice one. did you release the muskie?

i used 3inch minnows with a small hook. i hooked the minnow through the mouth and out of its back. but i guess im gonna use wacky worms next. maybe in pumpkin see type of color.

awsome. which lake did u exactly go and what did u use?

that would be great cliff. i always find maps useful. i dont have gps system for now only on my car lol. but next time i head to sturgeon ill give u a shout!

its funny i had three different hooks in the water with different baits (minnow, plastic worm jig and white jig). none got a bite it was the worst fishing i ever had. it seems like i am losing my fishing grip i mean i could catch a walleye with worm before but now i cant catch a sunfish! i tried all sorts of jigs and no result. so it seems my biggest mistake is fishing during the afternoon. unfortunately that is the only time i can head out. ill see if i can change this course.

i did try worms but not sure about leeches. thanx for the replys tho.

oh i btw i always use 12 pound line with 1/2 ounce of sinkers 9' from the hook. the baitholder hook is rather small not sure what the size is tho. but as i said i was fishing pigeon lake for 8 hours and failed to catch anything excepet a good size Bass which is not in season anyway.

Hello all, i just have a question to ask regarding fishing tactics in Central Ontario's fresh waters. For the past two years i have enjoyed fishing for Bass and Walleye in the Kawarthas, mainly Balsam, Sturgeon and Pigeon Lake. I started with Worms and at first was successfull in catching small bass in Balsam lake but as time progressed i failed to catch any good size ones. So i bought fake but 100% natural 3' minnows. they worked wonders at first but just last week they failed to catch me any good fish (ie. walleye) in pigeon lake. i was just wondering if you have any good fishing tactics for these fresh waters during summer time? any help would be apreciated.
