2 Days & 3 Outings

[Entropy]

Saturday morning my Dad came up at about 9:00am we fished until noon on Scugog. The only fish caught was a small Walleye, not even work keeping. There were lots of boats out, more boats fishing than I have seen our fish’n since I moved here last July.

 

Saturday afternoon my wife and I headed up to her parents farm. As, she and her parents sat and chatted I hoped in our little 4 x 4 and headed down the trail to their lake (basically a very large pond about 40 acres in size) I took 1 cast = nothing; 2nd cast = a pike hit, 3rd cast = pike on ( man was I glad I had a good leader and a baitcaster loaded with 50 lb test power pro there’s tons of stumps and logs.); 4th cast = nothing; 5th cast = nothing; 6th cast = nothing; 7th cast = another pike.

 

It’s at this point that I realize what a special little treasure they (and me too) have here, apparently a number of years ago and 2 owners ago someone had stocked pike in this big pond and they are doing ok. I released all 6 that I ended up catching; I’m hoping to make it up there again next week to catch them again.

 

Sunday afternoon my wife and I headed out on Scugog and to her pleasure she was the only one that caught a walleye. Me, somehow, snagged a carp, but after 1min. The scales came off.

 

I saw some guys fishing at an access down the road from my place. Between the two of them they had about 6 walleye, all of which were very small ( 3 were the size of perch). Looks like the best fishing is to be had right off shore.

 

How’d you make out?

Rented a boat at Port Perry on Sunday with my wife. Bought the $6 map availabe inside. Fished for 3 hours (from 2 to 5 pm)...nothing..not a bite. Saw some big carp swimming around. Problem is for us, we have no idea where to go....tried some spots on the map...I guess it's just gettin out there and trying.
