mirogak Posted June 7, 2012 Report Posted June 7, 2012 Hey gang, Wanted to take the boat out for the first time this year for some walleye fishing. Those of you who have already done so which lakes did you have more success with Scugog, Rice or Balsam? Historically I have been skunked by Balsam many times. Thx, M
mirogak Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Posted June 7, 2012 Apologies for the typo in the subject line.
Dutch Posted June 7, 2012 Report Posted June 7, 2012 Rice is absolutely on fire. Fish from the mouth of the Ottonabe to the island south east with pretty much anything and you will get them.
Roy Posted June 7, 2012 Report Posted June 7, 2012 Looks like Rice is the winner but if I were you and had a new boat and had always been skunked on Balsam, I'd go there and give ball some hell.
mirogak Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Posted June 7, 2012 Lol. Okay thx gents. Rice it is then. I am planning to be on the lake the entire day but I think it goes without saying that dusk and dawn are probably my best bet.
Roy Posted June 7, 2012 Report Posted June 7, 2012 Darker times are definitely better. A slight chop doesn't hurt either. Don't forget the camera.
mirogak Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Posted June 7, 2012 Lol Roy. Did u check out my noat's hull reg #'s.
Roy Posted June 7, 2012 Report Posted June 7, 2012 Lol Roy. Did u check out my noat's hull reg #'s. No, do they contain a secret code?
Dutch Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 Lol. Okay thx gents. Rice it is then. I am planning to be on the lake the entire day but I think it goes without saying that dusk and dawn are probably my best bet. Honestly, if they are still on, you will only need about 2-3 hours to get a limit of slot fish.
esoxansteel Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 Honestly, if they are still on, you will only need about 2-3 hours to get a limit of slot fish. faster then that if you fish in the dark with an 8wt fly rod and streamers over the tops of weeds.
beagle dad Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 FOR JUST CATCHING FISH...BALSAM IS THE TOPS..DIFF SLOT MAKES IT HARD TO KEEP ANY FOR FISHING FOR SUPPER RICE IS HARD TO BEAT THIS YEAR. HAVE HAD UNBELIEVEABLE FUN ON BOTH #'S OF FISH,, AND SIZE IN MANY DIFFERENT AREAS SCUGOG HAS BE SLOW..FISH SPREAD THIN
hooked! Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 Was on Rice tonight for a few hours after work with a buddy. We caught 8 walleye - 7 of them were in the slot. We also caught two crappie and 3 OOS largemouth. All fish were caught on bucktail jigs.
Stoty Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 Lol. Okay thx gents. Rice it is then. I am planning to be on the lake the entire day but I think it goes without saying that dusk and dawn are probably my best bet. Not entirely true... the past two weekends, my best times have been in the middle of the afternoon with bluebird skies and water like glass.
beagle dad Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 I'M WITH STOTY ALWAY HAD MY BEST LUCK DURING DAY SUNNER BLUEBIRD DAY LOVE IT KEEP THE EYES TIGHT TO COVER EASIER TO FIND,,,,THEY TEND TO STACK UP AS WELL.......CATCH 1 CATCH A DOZEN SUNNIER DAYS MOVE THEM A FEW FEET BACK FROM WEED EDGES...PUT A JIG IN FRONT OF THEM THEY WILL EAT IT CPL OF MY BEST AREAS...THEY DONT START EATING TILL 9AM THEN POUND THE BAIT FOR CPL HRS NON STOP
mirogak Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Posted June 8, 2012 faster then that if you fish in the dark with an 8wt fly rod and streamers over the tops of weeds. Are you serious about streamers and walleyes? I was thinking about taking my fly rod with me?
mirogak Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Posted June 8, 2012 Not entirely true... the past two weekends, my best times have been in the middle of the afternoon with bluebird skies and water like glass. Saweeeeet ... Thx bud. Gives me reason to be on water the entire day.
mirogak Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Posted June 8, 2012 Oh My God!!!!! Who hacked my account and fixed the typo in the subject line. I had misspelled "walley"
beagle dad Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 COOLEST THING I EVER SAW ON RICE WAS OLD MAN IN ROWBOAT NEAR CURTIS POINT CANE POLE 10' OF LINE HAIR JIG DUNKED EVERY HOLE IN WEEDS GETS BIT SETS HOOK THROWS POLE OVERBOARD WAITS TILL POLE FLOATS BACK UP ROWS OVER PICKS UP POLE AND LIFTS TIRED FISH INTO BOAT WATCHED HIM FOR HRS... DONT HAVE CANE POLE BUT FISHED BEST I COULD..JUST I BROKE OFF MORE FISH THAN I COULD COUNT! CAUGHT SOME AS WELL
Sinker Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 Best action for me has been mid day on rice as well. As long as there is a bit of a chop, they will bite all day long in there. Choose your weapon, and find a weed edge, and you'll find some fish in there. S.
206 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) I'll be out for a few hours in the morn as well. Oh wait, it is morn already....better hit the hay 6:30 comes fast. Fish were off Sunday evening haven't been out since, hope they are back. I'll keep an eye out for the boat with reg# on back or missing down one side Edited June 8, 2012 by 206
