Fisherpete Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) Well, the weather certainly was hot and the fishing was too... fished for a total of 23hrs (14 saturday 9 Sunday) and all that time on the water certainly paid off. All 3 Muskies (36", 39" and 43.5") came off the same drop off point, within a few hundred metres of each other, and there were 2 other followers as well. 8 walleye were caught, 6 of the 8 being in this lake's slot size. Some OOS LM and SM were also thrown in the mix. All fish were released this weekend, we had enough steaks & burgers in the cooler already! Best time of the day was early morning, there was heavy boat and watercraft traffic later in the day which messed things up. X-Raps were a hot bait this weekend, as well as inline spinners. I was really suprised at the lack of weed growth in the lake, things seem a few weeks behind last year despite water temps being in the low 70's. Rice Lake by comparison is already choked up and has been for weeks now. Hit the "Grand Slam" on Sunday, I caught all 4 major species for this lake (LM, SM, Walleye & Muskie). Back to the city for a day... back on the lake Tuesday! Edited June 4, 2007 by Fisherpete
Smokey Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 Great fish. Now thats the way to kick off the muskie season and some great looking walleyes to go also. Thanks for the great pics.

Zib Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 Those muskies are some really nice beauties. Good job.
Dutch Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 What lake were you on? I didn't know there were slot sizes on any Kawartha Lakes this year - do you mean proposed slot sizes? Looks like a good haul - congrats.
Guest Johnny Bass Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 Nice! Looks like the pickeral and the Muskies have been putting on some weight in the Kawarthas! I'm probably heading to that lake on bass opener!
Pigeontroller Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 Good job! I hope to have some success myself this weekend on the Kawarthas!
kennyman Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 I'm dreaming of a day like that. Someday, MY day will come (fingers crossed). Those are beautiful clean fish. What gorgeous colours. Awesome post. Just wish it said what lake.
