Believer Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Hi All, I'm planning on going to Cameron Lake this weekend and was wondering if anyone had some tips on where to start for walleye. Thanks in advance. Edited July 3, 2013 by Believer
Rich Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Same as all kawarthas, weedlines! I forget the name of the bay on the south side of the lake, but there is a marina/campground at the back end of it. I have connected with walleyes on the deeper weed edges of that bay, using orange mister twisters and a slow drift. Hope that helps, good luck!

Believer Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Posted July 3, 2013 Hey Guys, Thanks for all the replies. You got the lake Rich, I forgot there were a few Cameron lakes but it is the Kawarthas. Will definately be trolling around a bit with my fish finder and i have the navionics app for my iphone as well N.A.W. Will let you guys know how it goes.
fishindevil Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Too late the pike are there already !!!! Grrrr .... And one was caught in sturgeon lake about 2 weeks ago
Sinker Posted July 4, 2013 Report Posted July 4, 2013 Too late the pike are there already !!!! Grrrr .... And one was caught in sturgeon lake about 2 weeks ago Well that's not good news, but no surprise either. I guess I'd better start teaching my son how to fish pike, because muskies are gonna be slim pickins by the time he's my age. I'm not much help on cameron, haven't fished it in years. However, my son and I caught 5 keeper walleye and 3 over slots on another kawartha lake this morning pulling haarnesses along main lake weed edges. Slow troll 1.3-1.5mph. We caught a few bass and crappies as well. S.
JoshS Posted July 4, 2013 Report Posted July 4, 2013 I've fished Cameron a few times this year and have a friend with a place on the burnt who fishes it every weekend. Have not seen a pike yet... fingers crossed. I don't concentrate on walleye but we get a few incidentals. There's a few obvious weedlines you'll see there and weed humps that should have some wally's.
fishindevil Posted July 4, 2013 Report Posted July 4, 2013 The bay is called sackett bay !!!!! To the left of the bay there is a nice point and a steady dropping shoal !!!! Great spot !!!! Up near Boyd island in the north end is good for eyes too !!!!! Cheers & good luck
captpierre Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 find 10-12 ft deep weedbeds near deeper water. the walleyes are down there. have had good luck ripjigging bucktails peter
Hooked_On_Bass Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 Too late the pike are there already !!!! Grrrr .... And one was caught in sturgeon lake about 2 weeks agoIndeed, they are. Here is an example from Cameron, which was caught a couple weeks ago:
Hooked_On_Bass Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 Believer, I'm not a Walleye guy, but have caught a number of them this year while bass fishing. Most have been on crankbaits. All along (or over) weed lines in 8-14 FOW. Good luck!
JoshS Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 Pike will devour the Cameron musky population!! Very unfortunate but inevitable. Please do not release them if you catch them. Maybe we can get another 10-15 years of decent musky fishing before it goes.

steelhunter Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 Pike are everywhere in the trent balsam is infested with them it is only a matter of time until they are through the whole system.
Rich Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 Kinda makes me think twice about the guys musky fishing at cameron last year I went, telling me how much they wished they had pike there to eat. :/
Hooked_On_Bass Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 Well, I've fished Cameron for over 10 years and this is the first Pike I've caught/seen, FWIW.
Believer Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Posted July 8, 2013 Hey Guys, Thanks for all the info. Worked out to be a pretty good weekend. 2 Small muskies and a large mouth on spinner baits on the north west side in 5 to 8 feet of water and a nice size small mouth and an eater walleye on an X rap working the south end. For the most part the fish i were marking were in 20 - 25 feet of water though. Must have been hiding from the weather. Anyway thanks again guys, always cool to fish a new lake.
mgooding9 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 Anyone know of any hotspots for ice fishing on Cameron?
BillM Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 I don't, but if you find some make sure you let us know!
