Headhunter Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I bet you enjoyed every hour out there Wayne. The sound of the water laping against the boat... lord knows you would hear it as you can't tell you engines are running unless you hear it pissing! Congrats to you and Andy on the fish. You didn't by chance pluck an eye ball for perch bait? HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Nice Wayne. Glad to see you're getting out and enjoying yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 personally id still rather haul in smallies on the bay then fish 60 hours for one ski on the bay...but thats just me. Personally I am still in the mentality that one day while tossing big baits for trophy pike a bigger ski is gonna cross paths with me. Nice catch though! The cleanest skis come outta the bay thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) You keep playing with that bait Akrisoner, I'd probably fish for them too if I didn't have 168 free hours, per week, to spend doing what I want, after 5+ years of living to someone else's medical schedule. Oh and BTW Mister G, you must have cooked them wrong because Musky is better than Pike if you steak them right!

cram Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Cruising around on Georgian Bay with a good friend for 60 hrs sounds just about perfect. The fish is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 oh dear....60 hours. I don't have the fortitude yet, gotta see some kind of results. Having said that, I may only fish 60 hours for the whole season! If I could fish all kinds, then a search for a true giant would interest me.

You guys must have loaded the boat with some decent snakes? Edited November 12, 2015 by AKRISONER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 That's the surprising thing, not a single pike to stink up the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 That's the surprising thing, not a single pike to stink up the boat. Ouch... At least pike would have entertained you a bit... Don't know how people can fish these slow fisheries... If I had to fish 2-3-4-5 days to get a fish I'd quit musky fishing... I'm dead serious... I hear these g bay and nip reports of week long trips with only a few bites for their efforts... I mean I have a day here and there without wetting my net but no way I could fish 60 hours for 1 bite... Even if every one was a 50 I still couldn't go 5-6 days of fishing for 1 bite... Hopefully you next trip has some more action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Let's not forget guys, there's lots of BIG muskies in GBay and plenty of guys do very well at catching them. You just need to know where they are. Graham Bristow is a perfect example. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CBwQFjAAahUKEwj7yJ-ixY3JAhWJXB4KHa25ARs&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ontariomusky.com%2FYour_Guide.html&usg=AFQjCNFHE3ZjrWFsPgQr5suZM7gEd1PoIg Edited November 13, 2015 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKRISONER Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) anyone can catch dink bass absolutely, but we are learning..and I would argue not anyone can get a 20lb bag. but dont get me wrong, I fish everything on the bay except specifically targeting musky. Part of the thing is that everyone on here thinks that G bay basically means moon river. Moon river seems to have the best fishing on the bay, especially for musky. To those questioning the fishery on GBay...its one of the best i have fished, its also one of the most challenging due to size and exposure, its also probably one of the most beautiful making every moment on it that much more worth it.
