Thanks for having me guys. Agreed, I guess narrowing the really good weeds down can increase success in this case. I'm guessing weed growth will be stagnant or in the decline very soon with these temps. Should be interesting to see how long bait fish hang around them if this is the case. If continues to be cool they could be heading for open water sooner than later. We'll see how things work out on Cross next week Lew. I've heard it can be hot or cold over there. Let's hope the Muskie gods smile upon us!

Lake Nippising - West Arm and West Bay - Season opener we had a very fat 52" caught that set the stage of expectations right away! However after that, things started to slow down, big time! With the cold spring weed growth was down everywhere. It seemed the fish were still deep while most anglers were still focusing on underdeveloped weeds (my thoughts anyway), Now, it seems things are (FINALLY) starting to turn on. Picked up this 47" on the West Arm the other night, not on weeds, no, but in a place and with a method you would not suspect. Although I'm hearing Ski's are finally being caught on the weeds (nothing big mind you, at least not that I'm hearing of). This has been a funny year with the cold temps and slow weed growth. However the fact is, these girls still need to eat, and they will! Just a matter of where to find them. Interested to hear your thoughts. Fall should be even more interesting.

So much for buying one Calcutta and one Compre for a lifetime! Thought it might be too good to be true!

Kawarthas are literally a fish farm! no doubt! As far as numbers go (not size have you), not sure there is place on earth that can compare.

Hi JD, I'm the owner of Mashkinonje Lodge on the West Arm of Lake Nipissing. My wife and I just took over the operation this spring. Our cottages are all on the waterfront, clean and comfortable. I'd be happy to put a package together for you. Check out our website at www.mashkinonjelodge.com and give us a call if your interested. Cheers, Regan
