There are plenty of both, but you're best to target one or the other. We usually catch more of the largies. Lucky on that day to get so many smallies. Smallies tend to be a tougher fish to catch for me anyways. I always look for weeds when starting out for the day.

Glad you were able to get away, Sunday was amazing. Too bad about the boat, but the family stuff is good. What did you think of the place? I might hit the lake once more before the end of the year.

Did a bit of bass fishing over the last few days in between painting and renovating. Not great numbers, but the ones that were boated tended to be better fish. Caught on Wacky rigs and Jig and Craw. Seems to be a hit and miss. One outing would be good and the next not so good.

Sweet!

Find a financial backer first. The MNR says it's too expensive to raise walleye fry for them to initiate it. That's what I have heard anyways whenever the Kawarthas comes up. Hmmmm, I think they raise them in Haliburton. Simcoe would be a great walleye fishery and perfect for big walleye tournaments. It would be nice to target them in the winter.

Australia, then the amazon to get them out of the way. Then off to all the Canadian places I have dreamed of.

Hope the pig and lamb taste good! My friends were there last weekend for a muskie and walleye 4 day trip. I asked him how it went and he said the the food and beer were great.

Don't ignore the inside weed edges if the sun is up. It's a tough time of the year on the Kawarthas, but could be great if you hit the right days. You won't get the bass numbers that you would get in the middle of July.

Yes, watch the rocks, they come up out of nowhere. I fished the lake twice in the last two years, my first times, and have decided to give up on the lake. So many great looking spots that produce nada. I put in long days trying to figure it our, but still came up empty. I think that the walleye like the evening and into night. The smallies must not like rocks?????? Hope you have better luck than I did.

That's a good looking fish. I have only caught a tiny one down in the Florida Everglades.

That looks like a rather large chain pickerel Roy or is that the normal size?

I was expecting a bunch of smallies, but it looks like most of them were largemouth. That's a crazy video!

I agree with drifter. I had the exact thing happen to my yamaha a few years back. Finally torn it apart myself and found a small sliver of rubber preventing the needle to seat properly. It was also inconsistant. Threw it back together and no problem. Just make sure you reset all adjustments to the correct settings.

The Top Bass Classic isn't until next weekend, but it will still be very busy out there. Be careful with all those boaters running around. Early mornings and evenings will be everyone's best bet for fishing. The lake usually doesn't heat up until about 11:00 am.

Pigeon has definitely been tourney'd out this year. Two back to backs on consecutive weekends in July, twilights, private ones and probably more.

Really!

Everyone wants a private lake Can't see them setting a precedent with Dalrymple.

Just noticed the prices while out at lunch. I'm with you on this rant!

They just don't think anyone else is out on the lake. Selfishness. Glad no one was hurt in either incident, that kind of crash never ends on a good note.

They like the deep water also, some are deep water oriented. Go with a weighted wacky rig, tube jig or drop shot, especially on the deep side of any weeds. They might also like a crankbait.

We have one of those in Lindsay every year, but no where near those numbers.

I need one of those for the Emerald Island Tourney. Nice fish

I love my Crucials.

I have never used one on mine and have never had a problem in twenty years or more. I would probably use one if it was all wired through the boat though. So if it's simple transom mount, I'm sure you would be fine until you can get one rigged up. I will not be held responsible for any damages that might occur from my comments.

Gasoline in a stove????? I don't really know much about burning naptha other than I remember my parents using it when we went camping as a kid back in the 60's. I don't know if I would ever feel comfortable using regular gas in a stove system.
