Back from cottage, 1 week on Manitouwabing

[Cudz]

Just got back from a cottage on beautiful Lake Manitouwabing near Parry Sound. I stayed at a small resort on one of the many bays. Such a nice lake. Didn't matter how hard the wind blows you can always find calm water (unlike Simcoe).

 

Anyway, I have 3 small children so we did a bunch of panfish fishing and we caught a bunch but I don't fish as I am too busy taking off fish and putting on worms. Between eating and taking kids for tube rides, I managed to get out fishing 5 times by myself for 2-3 hours at a time. It took me a day to figre out what would work and where the fish were.

 

I am not much of a walleye guy so I didn't even try for them. I don't really target pike either (got a few by accident), but I do like the bass.

 

Overall it was a very good week and once I figured out the bass I managed to get about a dozen per outing. Unfortunately I forgot my net at home and it cost me on 3 occasions. I lost a 4+ pound largie at the boat while trying to lip it, another decent largemouth at the boat and another huge smallie. doh! My boat isn't exactly fishing friendly but hey, beggers can't be choosers.

 

enjoy

 

Here is the cottage

Setting the boat up

Ok now onto the bass

Chris, nice fish, especially that 21"smallie! Nothing wrong with five 2 -3 hour fishing stints in a week at the cottage!

Nice report and pictures. That looks like a mean smallie. Looks like the "family" boat is working well for you, good to see!

Great report.

I always heard great things about that lake.

Looks like you got em pretty good. Thanks for the report.

It is not ideal but a boat is much better than no boat. I can't complain at all but would love to have a bow mount electric. It is a bit tough to land fish without a net as it is quite deep. That will teach me to forget my net at home when i go to a cottage.
