ccmtcanada Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) About 6 weeks ago, I was packaged out of my job of 22 years. It came has a huge shock, but now that has worn off and I've decided is take the entire summer of before looking for my next job. I hope to fish as much as possible!! This is a great opportunity for me to get out there I've been waiting for bass season to open, so as soon as my little one was off to school, I hightailed it to Lake Scugog. It's about 40 minutes door to launch so it's prefect so I can be home when school is out. I launched at 10am and headed out. The weeds seem to be really behind schedule and it took a while for me to find what I was looking for. The first 3 hours was brutally slow and the winds were blowing me around pretty good, so I looked for some wind protection. Fishnsled texted me asking how it was going...and as soon as I said this lake sucks I started hitting a few fish. The first were about this size. I said out loud "ok little guys....where's your parents??" In about 25 minutes I boated 3 this size... At 215 it was time for me to head back to the launch and head home. It's great living this close to Scugog....even though I don't really like the lake, I'll fish there more this summer and see if I can figure it out!

206 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Nice report...I was on the scugog river this weekend and only managed a few under 3 pounds. Saturday morn the bite was so off I actually ended up drop shotting and got 3 large mouth on it lol. I had 6 blow ups in the pads but never hooked 1. Biggest fish came on a wacky rig.

I hit llly pads in about 3 feet of water and got nothing. Then spent a lot of time trying to find weed beds in the 6-8 foot range. I was amazed how little the weeds are in because of the late spring. I threw spinnerbaits and got nothing so I figured I had to slow down my presentation. All fish were caught deep in the weeds on a weightless senko rigged Texas style.

misfish Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Well Cliff that just sucks. I mean you fishing all summer. Serious though, sorry to hear about the job dude. Nice fish man. Edited June 24, 2014 by Misfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Urban Fisherman Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Awesome stuff Cliff - sorry to hear about the job but I'd take it as a blessing if I were you... You'll have a GREAT summer and will be able to look for something refreshing. I've only fished the bog once and that day my dad caught his PB largie (4+ lbs), a good sized walleye and had a sizeable muskie chase his bait to the boat... all three fish came on a GIANT muskie sized spinnerbait... at a creek mouth... I on the other hand didn't catch a damn thing that day.. but I know there are some good fish to be had! Cheers, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnsled Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Just let me know when you are going next and I'll text earlier in the day. I sure that's what did it. I wonder if that works when you are in the boat with me? Will have to try that on the weekend. Great to see you ended up with a few fish, nicely done.
