Few muskies from my trip to Ontario

[mattyk]

Well my trip to Canada ended and it was too short for me. I was able to get out and fish 4 times in the Kawartha area. All 4 times I was able to land a musky, nothing large, but pretty fun to have a fish on the end of the line. I had several large follows on a double cow girl and some big spinner baits, and they followed on the 8 a couple of times but no takers. I trolled, and nothing. I threw suicks, manta's, cow girls, grim reapers, believers, etc with no luck. So I down sized a little bit to a smaller crank bait and all my fish came on the same lure. I also caught a walleye and a nice largemouth on the same bait.

4 Times out and a musky each time. Many on here would love that kind of record (I certainly would).

Congrats on a sucessful trip. As they all are ... the trips end too quickly.

I dunno if you went to pigeon lake or now but ive landed a few nice ones in there. i goto a lake often where you can catch 10 musky on a good day (all under 6-7lbs) a few monsters a year. seems to be the way she goes. its a small lake tho. lots of fun, you see more fish than you catch. topwater is riveting, when you not reelin in the skis its the bass. i hope the musky are hungry next week.

 

have a great night!

Nice fish Mattk. I'm going to the Kawarthas for two weeks this Saturday. Any chance you could PM me that secret lure? Have you ever musky fished at home in the cave run lakes in KY? I heard they stock Tigers in those lakes.

Only one thing wrong with your report Matt.......you didn't take me with you

 

Good to see you get back home and catch some fish

4 for 4 that's pretty darn good. I wish I had a record like that. Nice fish.

We have some musky lakes and rivers here. Cave Run and Green River are the most notable. I have fished both. No tigers, just purebred muskies.

Never having fished for muskie, and only ever having caught one (incidental), I'm always intrigued by them. What you call small looks pretty good to me! (by pike standards).
