I was planning on spending the weekend on Quinte but my fishing partner has family over this weekend so I thought I would go solo on Stoco. I've never been so I wouldn't mind some help with info on accommodations, launch, and of course, a plan of attack. I heard the island next to town is a good place along with where the moira river exits to the north. Now I've never fished an exit before.. always a feeder which make more sense to me..lol Any and all help is appreciated. I'd also be willing to take a passenger if your a serious ski hunter....

Nice to hear about the Costco batts. I'm adding a house batt and replacing my 2 trolling motor batts for something larger (grp 27?). Also replacing my Pro Marine 2 bank charger for a 3 bank MinnKoda Precision 3 bank. The charger and batteries will be in the classified next spring...

you wont get the same level of service from the guys in the fishing dept. at SAIL in Vaughn. They have a much better selection but don't expect any help...lol.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.. although I could have done without the "jiggy - jiggy"

Well I pulled the trigger on a St Croix 8' MH and 80 lb braid. I should have clarified, this won't be my last muskie rod just a good starter.. I figure I can cast spinners, spinner baits, med cranks, and plastics with this one. A little trolling should be in the mix as well. Once I get this one broken in, I'll be lookin' for recommendation for #2...

You can drop the speed a bit by back trolling. Even with a SC/DC setup. Personally, I like the idea of a 4s kicker as its better on the big motor in the long run. With that being said, 5k for a trolling motor is a bit hard to swallow..

I'm looking at either the St Croix Mojo Muskie 8' MH or the Bass Pro Muskie Angler 8' or 8.5' MH as an all around Muskie Rod for trolling and throwing cranks or spinner baits. I would expect that I should be able to cast a bit further with the 8.5' rod... 50lb braid with a floro leader. Thoughts?

Nice fish! I was at Rosseau for a w/e with my wife and I ended up boating 2 pike one afternoon. the 2nd was a personal best of over 30lbs. Actually I caught both while drop-shotting for Bass with a yellow grub. What's in the Muskoka lakes? Is there any walleye or just Bass and Pike? TIA

Since I bought my mustang auto inflatable, I wear it most of the time. All of the time if i'm alone.

An oldie but a goodie... Honey Hole...lol

Which Lake? Commanda or Restoule?

I've never been out on LSC, I guess the big water kind of keeps me away as I could drive 3 hours and not be able to launch if the wind picks up. I've heard about Mitchell's Bay for Bass and the south side for Musky. I have to believe out from the mouth of the Thames has to be good for something as well. What are considered the walleye hot spots?

Kitchener Waterloo PM sent.

I've been living (for work) on the upper Ottawa river for the last few months. Does anyone here have info on fishing this part of the river? I'm above the dam at Rolphton and I've fished at the mouth of the Demoine river and Duexs Rivers. I've had a little more success below the dam at the Swisha and points between Swisha and Deep River. Caught several small walleye, sauger, and smallmouth. A couple of pike were in the mix as well. I figure an un-pressured fishery should be much better than it is.... TIA. Patrick.

Lost my dad last Xmas, he was 93 and a WW2 vet. Taught me to fish, hunt, build things, and most of all, be a gentleman. RIP dad. I think of you often.

What about the upper french river? Never been but I've heard nothing but good things.

What do you guys think is the best fishing within 3-4 hours of KW? I'm looking for weekend walleye, bass, and muskie destinations. Bay of Quinte Long Point Kawartha's (stoney?) Thoughts? Patrick.

My thought is that you can never have to much battery life and to much thrust. I'd say go for the 36 volt and move on.

Hi everyone, I'm an avid fisherman, cook, and golfer from Kitchener. I mainly fish for Walleye, Bass, Pike, and Muskie. Looking forward to meeting new friends!
