Gooderham musky/walleye

[Christopheraaron]

One last thing, I just (within the last couple weeks, stocked up on Muskie lures, a super cisco, a grandma, wildeye swimshad, a 9" husky jerk, and I made about 15 Muskie sized spinnerbaits, and inlines would any of those be productive there?

I've got the 9" husky jerk, and a double 12.

[Gregoire]

A bulldawg or any other large plastic jerkbait would be a good lure. Don't be afraid to throw the smaller stuff as well. If you are tossing bucktails, and I would give them a go, make sure that you are slow rolling them, also try pausing and jerking them. You never know what might trigger a strike.

One last thing, make sure that you have all of your release gear ready. Things can get a bit crazy with a musky on the end of you line. The small ones are especially fiesty. When you add in the instability of a canoe you need to prepare for the unexpected. If I was musky fishing from a canoe I would want handling gloves, hook cutters, jaw spreaders extra long pliers and a good sized net.

got a net, hook cutters, extra long pliers, gloves, sounds like I just have to grab some jaw spreaders. And incase anyone was wondering that duct tape rod holder is long gone and i invested in a salty.

Last thing, just making sure head lake is the one at the bottom of queen elizibeth II PP?

Head lake is the lake that is in downtown haliburton. Right in town. You can also go down the river into grass, and kashagawigamog lake. They also have eyes, musky, bass....

Should have hit Contau....

We actually ended up fishing salerno lake and pine lake, but we had to stay overnight in haliburton so I took a look at head and it looks really good, I took a couple casts there but no luck (didn't expect it to be that easy)

Ahhh, now I know why you didn't catch any.

[Christopheraaron]

I was all for head but my friend had been eyeing salerno for a while but without a boat he hadn't been able to fish it so he asked me if we could do it instead and I gave in.
