ADVICE NEEDED: Lake Scugog Walleye

[soma56]

Well, I skunked with the Walleye but caught some nice large mouth and endless perch. The perch are much smaller then Simcoe but the large mouth bass had very unique/silvery skin unlike Little Lake in Barrie or Lake Simcoe. I think it's really cool that muskies are there without the hindrance of pike as pike spawn much earlier and tend to decrease the number of muskies in any lake.

 

BTW - I met the Causeway Bait and Tackle shop guy. You guys were right, he's pretty cool. I'll be heading out again this Saturday, somewhere more north were there's not as much pressure. Again, I appreciate everyone's insight negative, positive or otherwise

Thanks man. I found some great maps of Scugog. Perhaps I'll post them online in a new thread - unless they're already here or there's an appropriate spot for them. Having a look at them it seems the western side between two marina's looks like a pretty good spot. Anyways, going to hit it tomorrow. Port Perry is calling for rain all day but only 1mm, 10km/hour winds and up to 19 degrees by the afternoon.

 

It will be a little rough but worth it if I catch something. I've heard that live bait is the way to go. But then again I've also heard that people that use live bait swear by it. And apparently there's muskie's in there too! With no Pike in that lake that's good news for them.

 

yeah could you post the maps up if you dont mind? im thinking of going to scugog this weekend.

or you can email me at [email protected]

 

thanks

Here you go Boss:

If you follow ‘Island Road’ right to the end, I mean get off the pavement and drive in the woods on the dirt – you’ll find a brilliant large and free boat launch.

 

Fish-miester – I’m going to hit one of my secret holes for pike. Every time I’ve been there I’ve always caught a large pike anywhere from 5-7pounds.
