fishnsled Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Report one - Musky After chewing up the prop a few weeks ago I've been playing around with a couple of others. Phone calls to a couple of places and what to do to get the boat running better with the new props. After some tweaks it's finally there. Thanks to Andrew at the Prop Drop in Lindsay and John at Kawartha Prop repair. Now not being sure how much fishing I'd get in I went solo in hopes that not to much time would be spent on the prop. I managed to get a couple of hours in and went to one on my favourite Kawartha spots. In a couple of hours I had 1 one and lost it, 2 follows and then boated 2. I had just thrown a cast when I heard this big splash behind me. After working my bait back I fired a cast in the direction of the splash. Jerk, jerk, jerk - The bait not me! Fish on!! First one to the boat and the hook popped out nice and easy. I worked my way back on to the edge and fired my next cast. Jerk, jerk, jerk - don't even think it. SPLASH! I reel like crazy to catch up with the bait and set the hook! 2 casts, 2 muskies. The second one put on a bit of a show and after a couple quick shots it was back to be caught another day. I fished for a bit more and felt what I thought was some weeds but came in with this. I think it was trying to mate with my reefhawg. At this point there was a heck of a storm making it's way in so I called it a day. Report 2 - Bassin' Short and sweet. My flyin fishing trip buddies Ken and Gerry joined me for the day on Sunday. The bite was pretty good but all were smaller fish. We boat about 18-20 largemouth and smallmouth bass with Gerry smoking Ken and I with the secret bait - a mepps spinner. Note to self - find your mepps and bring them out next time. Here's Gerry with one of his buckets. That's all for now but the Mikwam flyin report is just about done. Just waiting on some pictures from the other guys. Stay tuned.

fishnsled Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 Thanks for the replies....I think. We'll see if we can be a couple of jerks and catch a couple of pigs tomorrow Cliff. Joey - That lure may be rude but the fish seem to like it that way. HH - If the people keep passing by, leave my areas alone and I'm catching fish, I can be a jerk for a few hours.

Tacklebuster Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Great catch, I think your reef hawg needs a paint job. Is that lead wrapped around your front trebble? Edited July 5, 2008 by Tackle Buster
