ctered Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Just got back from 5 days on Horwood Lake. We left from Big Bear Camp and went about 5 miles south and then camped at a friend of a friends cottage. Fishing was pretty good considering the cold front that came through on Wednesday with a hail storm. We caught around 85 walleye/pickerel, 10 perch and 5 pike for the 2 of us that went. Nothing big with most of them around 1 to 1.5 lbs. The biggest we caught was about 2.5 lbs. The neighbors grandson(17) caught one that would go 3-3.5 lbs. The pike were all small with one better fish around 10 lbs but no picture. All the fish were caught on a jig and worm or a dropshot setup with just a worm on the hook. We did not fish hard with only about 5-6 hrs a day split between morning and night. All in all a very good trip and will likely do it again next year.

danc Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Nice. Love the second last shot with the Walleye back lit by the sun combined with the camera flash being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adempsey Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Always wanted to try Horwood again. I know it should be a productive lake. Looks like you guys did well. That perch in the last picture looks like a big one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirCranksalot Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Great fishing! So, is Horwood road accessible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayzak15 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Great fishing! So, is Horwood road accessible? Yep, one of if not my favorite lake to go to. You could get any size fishing boat in there just about. I would suggest a bowguard for a higher end/fiberglass boat though since you will need to drive at least 10-15km's down a dirt road to get to the launches.

ctered Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I agree with Tayzak15 on the bowguard. We were lucky with a pontoon being high off the ground but you here the stones hitting the pontoons all the time. If I bring my glass boat next year I will be buying or making some sort of guard to keep all the stones from hitting my boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
