ccmtcanada Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Since I do most of my fishing with Fishnsled, there hasn't been a need to get my boat out of the garage. That finally changed over this month. I stayed at a cottage on a tiny lake up in Muskoka over the past two weeks and managed to get out almost every morning I was there for a few hours to hunt down some bass. There is no public boat launch on this lake, so I made a donation to a summer camp that is also on the lake and I was in business! It wasn't really a launch....just a level entry into the lake on a beach that's hard packed sand. Good enough for me!! When I say this is a small lake...it's truly tiny! When I open it up, I can get across the entire lake in about 30 seconds tops! It's about 400 meters across and maybe a kilometer long. It's quite deep....45 feet down the middle, but the bays come up to about 8 feet with lots of great weed beds. I knew there had to be some bass in this lake! Most fish were around the 1 to 2 pound range, but I did manage to pull a few really nice ones out of the lake. I fished alone most days, so I had to take self pics...so they are not that great. On one of my last days there, I tossed a senko rigged texas style out into the middle of a weed bed. I didn't feel the hit, but my line suddenly took off shortly after it landed. I set the hook and this big one took me by surprise! I will have to make it a point to take my little boat out more often... Edited July 29, 2013 by ccmt
Roy Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 Great report, Cliff. Some nice chunks there too!
solopaddler Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 Nice report Cliff, glad to see you got a few!
fishnsled Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 Attention!! Attention!! Cliff will be fishing more from his own boat!! .....I'll believe it when I see it. Nice to see you getting the dust off the rig Cliff and some nice fish as well. Looks like a gem of a lake. Look forward to hearing more about the vacation while fishing this weekend....from my boat.
Bassassins Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 Sounds like that donation was money well spent - can't beat a private lake with lots of BASS!
Moosebunk Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 Chunky monkeys Mr. Cliff. Yeah, you do alright from your own boat, so use it more often. lol.
ccmtcanada Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Posted July 30, 2013 Thanks everyone! Was awesome literally being the only boat on the water! And yes...the donation was well worth it!
ccmtcanada Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Posted July 30, 2013 Attention!! Attention!! Cliff will be fishing more from his own boat!! .....I'll believe it when I see it. Well, seeing as I've already used it more this year then last I've already accomplished that feat! Lol
Joey Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 Great report and pics Cliff. Some nice lunkers there!
Richie Razor Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 Nice pics, doesn't matter what size the boat or the $$ spent on one, as long as it helps you get into fish, that's pretty much all you need.
