Cudz Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) 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 Boat on dock Little Pike Another little hammer handle off the dock Ok now onto the bass First bass was a smallie (how fitting) Nice clean Largemouth Even better Largemout 2.6 pounds This picture is dedicated to Simon (Limeyangler) due to the blurr. haha Another nice clean smallie Nice Largemout Best Largemouth of the trip Best fish of the trip 21" smallmouth (note how wet I am trying to lip the fish off my ladder on the back of my boat.

jaydub Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Chris, nice fish, especially that 21"smallie! Nothing wrong with five 2 -3 hour fishing stints in a week at the cottage! Edited August 16, 2009 by jaydub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cudz Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 How is it fishing out of a Bowrider? Looking to get a boat/family boat. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
