Slayingm Posted August 26, 2013 Report Posted August 26, 2013 Had fun this weekend and took a break for the normal Walleye, Bass and Musky charters. Enjoyed a couple of quiet days on some small back lakes near my property in Haliburton for some Rainbow and Specs. Usually I find the fishing for Brookies tough this time of year and after trying gang-trolls with a worm tipped fly and various small spinners I came up empty. That is when I switched over to the simplest type of fishing and slowed down using a slip bobber and worm!! I fished the presentation off some rocky points and adjusted the depth of the worm so that it was approx. 15ft down. On my second cast I landed a huge 4lb Spec that ripped line away like a Pike when I set the hook on my Ultralight! The switch over to the float and worm allowed me to boat 7 specs yesterday including 2 over 3lbs. It was a good reminder to me that sometimes the simplest presentation can be the most effective as evidenced by these beauties!Be safe and Good Fish'n... Greg.
Sinker Posted August 26, 2013 Report Posted August 26, 2013 Good stuff! The old hook and worm never fails for specks!! Those are some beauties! S.
Joeytier Posted August 26, 2013 Report Posted August 26, 2013 Holy moly you whacked some monsters. Nice job
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 nice specks! i often resort to "controlled drifts" with a plain worm when the fishing is slow! you can't beat the classics!
