Cudz Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Just back from a week at a cottage near Parry Sound on Lake Manitouwabing. This lake is a real little gem. Lots of places to fish and it can produce but you really have to work at it. Not an easy lake to figure out and by no means have I done so, but it is lots of fun trying to get the better of it. A good mix of smb, lmb, walleye, and some pike. Smallies were mostly on Slammers with a few tubes mixed in. Largies on senkos. Also caught some nice fish on wakebaits in the morning. I love catching fish on those and I probably overuse them. Fishing with 3 small kids and my wife could never be described as relaxing but the girls did manage to catch some PBs with their smallies and my eldest daughter actually got up with me at 6am in the fog and managed a real nice walleye and we only fished for 1 hour. I did most of my fishing from 5:30 am until 8:30 am (when the kids get up), but I did manage to sneak away for a few afternoon stints. Leaves are already turning despite being early August. Leaves changing colour are never really a good sign for me. I also managed to hit a huge floating log while pulling the kids on a tube. Luckily it did no damage. Not sure how it did not damage the boat or outdrive because it weighed more than 100 Pounds. Nice weather and a great family resort. Highly recommended. Nice LMB off a wall ledge. Early morn smallie Another smallie Eldest daughter PB smallie Middle daughter PB smallie Little early morn walleye taken on worm harness Nice smallie Eldest daughter PB walleye. Nice fish. Note fog Leaves changing colour LMB taken off a wall ledge (sorry about the nudity, trying to fix my terrible farmer's tan. Wife's stick on a tube jig. She actually thought it was a fish and had me convinced as well. She reeled like a champ. Wife's first ever LMB, therefore it is a PB. ha ha. Log that I hit in the water. It was about 6 inches below surface. Big piece of wood. Check out the marks my prop and skeg left on it at the end. No damage to boat (I think).

Joey Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Really nice report and pics. You are very luck you got no damage from that log, wow, its a biggun. I hate to see the leaves change colour early too Oh well, we certainly can't complain about our summer so far. Nice PB for the wife, and some really chunky smallies there Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctranter Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I have a cottage very near yours! Great report those are some nice fish. What kind of pink rod is that? I'm looking for something to get my gf committed to fishing for more than 10 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I have a cottage very near yours! Great report those are some nice fish. What kind of pink rod is that? I'm looking for something to get my gf committed to fishing for more than 10 seconds. It is a fisher girl rod from CT. Not a great reel but it lights up when you reel in. It is one of my daughters. I originally bought a pfleuger lady endeavor from ct. It is a much better rod and reel but I couldn't justify the price for my daughter who would likely break it.

alexcba Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 nice report cudz. i see you've done away with the hulkster stache.. LOL! glad everythings alright with the boat. maybe cause it was at the end of the log, you hit a brittle part of it with the skeg, and the prop just tore it up a little.

If you do try that lake drop me a line first. Not a great lake to do a one-dayer on. Has taken me a few weeks to get a grasp on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steverowbotham Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Nice. I fished that lake when I was a kid. My dad's buddy has a cottage there. I remember fishing off their dock at night time from dark until about midnight and we caught 8 walleye and over 30 bullhead using worms on a floating jighead. Fun night! One of my best childhood fishing memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
