Doe Lake Report (late)

Recommended Posts

Went up to our friends moms place next to Deerhurst last Sat afternoon. Stopped at the LCBO in Huntsville and the power steering in the van goes bye bye, looks like the arms are gonna get a work out on this trip. Bennie's mom has got t-bones and tiger shrimp waiting for us (much nicer than are usual cuisine which is boiled hotdogs in the back of the van which is usually where we sleep as well). watched the hockey game, then sleep then off to Doe lake, found public launch, suited up and started are approach and realized the water was shallow at the end of the launch, very shallow, so the van gets stuck in the sand, not happy, somehow we get the strength to get the boat of the still dry trailer and push the van out. Now about the fishing, oh and I also must mention the falling out of the boat incident, it seems my fishing buddy John has trouble de-boating that is why he is shirtless in the first picture with our first fish a lovely specimen of TWGSF

Looks like the pickerel aren't in the lake yet. Did you try the river like I mentioned?

 

Great report and some nice pike there. I also recognize that limestone shelving from your second lake ;)

I know where you were on Doe.LOL Lots of good pike there.

As for that launch,I never use it. Next time try the Katrine Marina. I think he charges 5 bucks in out,something like that.There is another on the east side of the hwy.It,s the old camp ground where they are putting the hwy.I noticed the road in was open again.Might be worth a try,just no docks there anymore.

I,ll be up there next weekend to fish with pop for fathers day.
