Kawartha fun soon

[sconceptor]

Later this month, I will be off for 3 days of fishing. I'm heading to the Kawartha's instead of LakeAir territory. I haven't fished the Kawartha's in a few years, closest to it was Sparrow a couple times.

 

I'm looking forward to musky and bass. Looking for deeper weed edges and areas about 10-12 feet working shallower using senkos rigged normal and wacky. If I find thick stuff, I'll put on something to bust through to dig out the big ones laying in them. I might toss some spinners and run them slower so they go deeper. Might run crank baits if it's more of a smallie area, and use drop shot gobies/minnows/half senkos. As for musky, big bucktails, double blades bucktails, 1-3oz spinners, larger cranks, and look for big weed patches close to deeper water, points, and deeper structure. Might even try open water trolling in over deeper water.

 

I'm going to miss WestArm, but Kawartha's is about 2hours closer and might provide more action. I would love to hit up WestArm each trip, but Ontario has too much to offer.

Don't ignore the inside weed edges if the sun is up. It's a tough time of the year on the Kawarthas, but could be great if you hit the right days. You won't get the bass numbers that you would get in the middle of July.

along weedlines in about 12-15 feet of water for musky is where they are at in the kawarthas. just got back from buckhorn and got 3 in 20 minutes.(not joking, we know the lake well)black bucktail with 2 double 10 orane blades is best! got this guy last week. good luck

I'm off to Pigeon next week for our annual muskie tourney. Hopefully it will be fun with no mishaps. Cowgirls in 10-20ft was my thinking with a bit of trolling in deeper spots.

I found the dock bass fishing in the mornings/evenings to be good as well.
