mbosh1980 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I decided to get away from all this Lake O. tributary drama and head up to my usual summer stomping grounds next monday. I still haven't caught a muskie or decent walleye this year. Was wondering if anyone was having luck on stony/ clear lately? Thanks in advance!

Tom McCutcheon Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Might be able to give you some info on Stony after the weekend. If you don't hear anything I did NADA. After all the rain we had the water levels on the Tri Lakes is up about 6 inches, and the temps are low 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Tomfoolery, has the fall turnover started there yet do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom McCutcheon Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I can't say for sure Roy as we didn't get much of a summer rotation. Temps stayed right around the low 70's all summer. If we get some frosty nights with some wind following I am sure the temps will rotate afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hey Roy...my guess Pigeon lake turned sometime last week...went down to do a little shore fishing before supper and the water was very murky then clear as a bell a couple of days later...???

jediangler Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'll second Beans' response that Pigeon has already turned over. That way I don't feel so bad about being skunked up there on Saturday . I was getting surface temps around 63-65F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbosh1980 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 just a short report. The weather really hampered my efforts to get out on the boat, so i ended up doing a bunch of yardwork. I was able to cast off the dock a bit on a couple days with NO luck. Well, I had one strike on a topwater (i think a muskie, but couldnt be sure) on monday, then nothing the rest of the week. This morning was nice and calm so I started throwing another topwater crankbait while everyone else was still sleeping. Sure enough my PB smallie slurped it in. Landed it, measured it at 19.25", took some pics and let it swim away for another day. Not huge by most standards, but it made me pretty happy. Pics to follow.

ozaibak1 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Which part of Stoney/Clear are you on, I recommend the evening bite in 8-12ft off of deeper water if you're looking for numbers, white jig 1/8oz-1/4oz with twister and most of a worm. Alternatively a minnow. That's been working for me. They're also deeper but I don't currently use a fish finder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinnerbaitking Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Last 2 Grey Bruce Lakes I've been on were 53 to 55 degrees Wed & Thurs & fishing was slow, hopefully better tomorrow & Sunday after the sun we're suppose to get Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a fishfinder either, I feel your pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fish along the south shore from where you are to Bryson's bay, there's a dropoff all along about 100 feet out from shore, fish in 8 ft of water plus, preferably more in the 20-30ft if you're fishing during the day and you should get into some. Closer than going to some of the other areas on the lake if that's a concern. Let us know how you do, I was supposed to be up this weekend but couldn't, think I'll be going in 3 weeks.

Guest steel'n'esox Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 was on a kawartha lake on oct 5 water temp was 65 degrees, on oct 11 on that say lake water temp was 54/55 degrees in my opinion by now on the shallower kawarthas turnover has completed and is in the process or completed on the more northern or shield lakes in the kawarthas ie stony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics to follow. well here is my only fish for the week. doesn't look as big in pictures as it does in my memory of catching it. I threw it on a scale real quick and it came out as 4 1/4 lb, but i use a spring scale so i don't think it was totally accurate. maybe closer to the high 3's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
