Meely Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hello Gang, Headed up to Pigeon Lake again for the long weekend. Me and Buckster had dedicated Saturday to strictly fishing as there was a bunch of friends heading up to my place for the weekend. After getting back from Bobcaygeon with groceries, we hit the lake around 11 am. The weather was a little odd in that it changed every half hour or so (sunny, cloudy, windy etc). Our goal was to do some musky-huntin' as we hadnt been out in a while. We fished for approximately 2 hours with not even a strike......Nadda.....Zippo......Zilch......Goose-Egg! Then in the afternoon the weather turned overcast and the wind picked up causing a little chop on the water. Not more than 20 minutes into this new weather pattern......WHAMMO.......we get a fish !! Here she is..... For the next 3 hours we boated 4 more fish. We could not believe how the fish just turned on with the new weather pattern. Just goes to show how vital weather and conditions can be. Here is fish # 2, 3 and 5 Fish #4 came only 5 minutes after our 3rd fish. She hit a jointed believer and turned out to be our BIGGEST fish to date. She measured 52 inches and had a girth just shy of 22 inches. Her belly was incredibly big as she must have just gorged. We measured her, quick pic and away she went. We did not have a scale on board but using one of the fish-calculators she came off at just shy of 28 pounds. Our biggest in 11 years !!! Here she is.....look at that gut.......the Muskies....not mine !! Sunday we headed out to try our luck at pickerel. Managed a few small dinks then Buckster nailed this nice little gem. In all it was a great weekend. We managed 5 skis and a decent pic. Thanks for listening, C'monnnnnnnn weeeknd !! Meely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
