Hopefully my Lexa won't do that!

Hey guys, has anyone launched from Morrison Landing government dock? If yes, is it a decent launch? I am hoping to get up to that stretch of the Severn system without having to launch further south at Sparrow Lake. Thanks

So where do they go when the weeds die off? Deeper water?

Noticed that the weeds are looking pretty tired... lots dying off now in pigeon. Still some nice green stuff but I did not see a nice big bed of greenery

Lew, do you mean this one?

Damn these lures are expensive! been looking at used on marketplace

So are you using a jointed or regular believer for that? I'd like to try it. I thought believers were used for trolling i looked up the grandma baits. Are they also called Jakes? Looks exactly like a Jake I have.

Lots of info! What size baits are you Kawartha fishermen using? I trolled a 10" jointed believer yesterday and I have a jake that's at least that long. They almost seem to be more suited to geo bay. Should I downsize? Also, those Medusa's and other soft baits - are they casted out and slowly retrieved? How are they fished?

got skunked! Hit Pigeon... that Noggies Creek launch (Bass Lake Rd?) is alright.. didn't know it was there til recently.. I hit all the recommended spots of the North end of the lake and tried Lew's suggestions from last year. I don't have a large arsenal of baits (6 or so) as I am slowly building. I mostly used a black with OJ double blade bucktail.. one thing is for sure- it's a workout! I trolled a bit too.. put in 9 hours and saw one confirmed musky at the bottom end of the big island near the big point. It nearly cleared the water.. looked like a dolphin porpoising! I guess it was chasing bait? That was near midday.. Called it a day at 4 as I had to be back. Good day but not used to the skunk as I ussually alway get fish if out for multi species on light gear. I am loving the Lexa 400 and Okuma rod.. casts beautifully

I'm heading out tomorrow for a stab at some Muskinonge! With water still warm (low 70s probably), should I still be using a fast retrieval and fast troll? hope to post a good report!

I came across this statement while doing some research on a lake... do you guys buy it? what do you think? And often overlooked factor is the sun's position, better to cast towards the sun than have it at your back. Clear water fish don't like following a bait with the sun in their face

What are your thoughts on Sturgeon?

How did they get in there?

out of curiosity I did a few searches. On one Facebook chat, multiple people said that pike have "invaded" lake like sturgeon, Cameron, pigeon and throughout the Trent system. Zoe said they'd never seen a like on said lakes

Curious.. how are they staying out of the other lakes? Do the locks prevent passage? i released it! As well as the other one i caught! Shoot!

But aren't all these lakes connected? Aren't they all overrun?

Going to try pigeon and sturgeon next

Here's a couple... did not see a musky. My Lexa 400 got its first workout. I was exhausted after 3 hours if casting so trolled up a couple of pike.

It's good for pike! Caught a nice 37"

😂😂 why would you say that!?

Got out to Balsam lake yesterday afternoon. Tried out my gear. Will post report.

Shopping for leaders. AnyOne familiar with Mars Lures? The guy makes and ships flouro leaders

I got my rod! Lexa HD 400 with an Okuma 8.6 EVX (1 to 8 oz) Gonna get out there tomorrow and catch the Ontario record 🤣

Just got the specs on it - it's rated for 4 to 12 oz and 50lbs to 100lbs so a bit heavier that what you posted above.. Is this to beefy for Kawartha skis?

the Lexa 400 reel/combo I am considering is already spooled with hi vis Powerpro.. I thought it was odd too. I can remove it I suppose...
