Muskoka Bassin'

[ADB]

Well, for those of you who saw my last report, you know that I had pretty good success fishing a cottage lake in the Muskoka Area last week. Today I went to the same spot again, and the bass were still on fire.

 

I hit the same spots that produced on the top-water last week, but our luck was slim...only a few a marginal largies. So, we headed to the opposite side of an island that I had did well on last time, and that is where the hot action began.

 

 

 

 

Then, we land this 19.5" monster:

 

 

 

Release:

 

 

Then, a couple nice smallies (flash messed up the photos):

 

First one was 16.5":

 

 

 

 

We then headed in for lunch.

 

After lunch the lake was pretty windy, so we decided to fish a couple protected coves. At the first spot the action continued, but didn't really cough of fish heavier than 1 lb.

 

 

Double header action:

 

 

So, we motored over to another cove, and got into some better fish.

 

17" largie:

 

 

 

16.5" largie:

 

 

 

Action shot:

 

 

Last good fish:

 

 

 

By the end of the day, we caught somewhere between 35-40 fish. Today they were almost all largies, except for 2-3 smallies. In terms of lures, 90% of the fish were taken on x-raps, while a few were caught on worms, and a couple on a spinnerbait. Not bad for fishing from 9:00-3:00!

 

That's all...hope you enjoyed.
