I sent you a PM hope it helps you boat a couple .

Glad you boated a few . I was happy to help out . Thanks for the report our trip is in about 6  weeks  I post a report  when we get back .

We haven't fished Big Bald for several years but when Pigeon Lake gets real windy we fish Bald . We are Muskie fisherman and usually boat a couple Muskies and bigger Bass on our Muskie lures there . Plenty of rocky ledges and weeds to fish . Good Luck

Nice fish and thanks for your report . You did well on the Muskies for lakes you haven't fished before .

Nice fish,  great pictures . Thanks for the report

Thanks for all the replys and PM's on Stoco it will make it easier planing our trip for the fall . Good luck this fishing season .

We do well in the Kawarthas also . Its on our way and a different lake we will still fish Sturgeon , Balsam and Pigeon on our trip . Thanks for the reply .

Problems here also , nothing happens when I click on bookmark .

Sounds like a pretty good day of Muskie fishing . NO wonder you are going back today for more good luck .

We were up Oct 1 - 8 fished Balsam 17 hrs only had 2 follows and 1 hit from Muskies . We caught several Pike and had some nice Smallmouth follow in our Muskie lures . You are going to the right area South Bay and Ant Island weed edge should produce for you we do well there both with Tigers and Pures . Good Luck looking forward to your report .

I sent you a PM just got back from a Oct 1 -8 trip we fished Balsam , Pigeon and Sturgeon and you are right Sturgeon was the best Lake for numbers and size . There were 3 different groups of people fishing Sturgeon around that week all did pretty good . If you want some help send me a email .

You had a good week Pete for never fishing Sturgeon before . Next year team USA may need a handy cap with you and Mikey getting all this Muskie knowledge maybe just 30 or 35" head start . It was nice meeting you and we did have a fun day . Talk to you latter

I took my son fishing when he was around 4 years old I hope by now that he is 48 he learned something over the years LOL . He is a casting machine he can cast all day , poor Dad needs a break once in a while from casting those double 10's .

Just got back from a week of Muskie hunting with my son . We fished Balsam 17 hrs only had 2 follows and one hit from Muskies we did boat a couple small Pike . Went to Pigeon on Tuesday only one in the boat and 1 follow . Once again Sturgeon Lake saved our week in 4 days we boated 11 and had follows , hits and lost hooked fish from 23 other Muskies biggest was only 43" but we saw or had hits from 7 or 8 over 40" fish saw one that was a high 40" fish . Saturday on Sturgeon we had a small Can-Am only 3 boats my son and I each fished with a Canadian and the other boat had 2 Canadians in it . Who ever is behind by lunch time pays for lunch . My son carried the USA team again this year he boated a 43" er and a 30" er before 1 pm the Canadians only had a 37" and a 31" so I want to thank Pete and Mikey for our lunch . By the end of the day the total was 6 Muskies boated another 15 follows , hits and lost fish a fun day but the USA gets bragging rights for yet another year with a total of 110" for the day . We had another Canadian friend come over for the day he is a Bass guy he boated 4 or 5 Smallies around 2 lbs and a couple Large Mouths but he also boated a 35" Muskie and had a 40" Muskie break off at the boat one on a rattle trap the other a small swim bait I'm glad he wasn't on team Canada LOL . I make the rules so next year I'll have a rule no Bass lures allowed in the Can-Am Muskie tournament . Now the sad part I have to wait a whole year to fish the Kawartha's again you guys are lucky to have such good fishing in Ontario

Nice fish maybe now she will take Dad shark fishing

Great report sounds like a great time . I'm going through the same thing helped one of my grandsons catch his first Muskie last year this year getting ready to take my great grand kids bobber fishing for bluegills .

Nice pictures great job Dad looks like a new angler in the family .

I fish the Kawartha's for numbers for a big fish go to the upper French . Lunge Lodge serves meals or you can take your own . Tough Muskie fishing but the ones you see are mostly nice .

Thanks for the reply . I'll pass on the info .

I like a good report with pictures the smiles says it all .

Hi Guys

I have a friend and his family going to Nosbonsing for several days in 2 weeks . I never fished it . He really would like to see a couple Muskies but will be fishing for Bass and Walleyes with his kids . He is staying at Big Moose camp if that helps . Any tips on the lake or to troll or cast for Muskies would be of help . If you want send me a PM I'll get the info to him . Thanks for the help .

I used the 5500 and 6500 for a lot of years without any problems until I started throwing more double 10's all the time . They took their toll on the gears and me . I have several Revo's now and can cast the bigger lures a lot longer then before .

Sounds like a tough day on the water . Which lake were you on ? I have a friend and his 3 sons heading to Buckhorn next week end for the yearly trip I hope the weather improves for them . Thanks for the report.
