ehg Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Haven't fished since May 1st when i caught small pike at Dalrymple. Can't fish alone because of chronic disability (MS), so have to wait for my helpful buddy to have free time. Finally was able to go yesterday and tried new lake to us. It was okay and we caught some fish, it was nice to get out of city, relax and throw spinnerbaits and topwaters. Caught some smallies this way all between 1-2 lbs. Most were about this size. First fish of the day was this walleye caught on similar spinnerbait in 2 ft. of water. A real unexpected catch. Nice to get out fishing and try new lake, didn't even wreck prop on this hyped lake.

Guest Johnny Bass Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Well? Did you slay them?lol That pickerel looks like it is exactly where I said they would be. Pickerel on spinnerbaits is quite common for the Kawartha's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leechman Thanks Jacques, we were expecting better results but just happy to be fishing. Well? Did you slay them?lol That pickerel looks like it is exactly where I said they would be. Pickerel on spinnerbaits is quite common for the Kawartha's. Ya, have caught walleye before on spinnerbaits but this one was under dock right by the shoreline. I think you know this lake, lol. Fishing shut down after lunch hour and picked up a little later. Certainly didn't slay them but first time there. Weird little lake! In afternoon tried microtube/float setup for panfish and caught none. Is their panfish here? Good to see you got out finally Eric! That is one of spinnerbaits i got from you, and rod/reel combo. Cheers, Dax Thanks for replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeedLine Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Something is better than nothing. Try going back in the fall or spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucktail Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 One of my favourite techniques on Quinte in the summer is slow rolling a spinnerbait thru 6-12 feet of water for eyes. They still seem to school in the weeds but the constant pick of largemouths keeps you busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In afternoon tried microtube/float setup for panfish and caught none. Is their panfish here? You know what? I wondered the same thing for a while. The only place I have seen baitfish(a perch), is next to the river in the north east corner or in the river itself. Strange hey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehg Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Something is better than nothing. Try going back in the fall or spring. The lake looks good, i was thinking of going back in the fall. Had a CO stop by us to check licenses etc...he said muskies really are on in fall and are pretty big. CO pulled 3 other boats off of lake for whatever reason. Used your tips on area, thanks will do even better next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Glad to see you got out, and wow is that ever a dark walleye! Not all that surprising though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
