crappieperchhunter Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 From my experience targeting eyes on Pidgeon....you have to trick them into thinking your fishing for something else. Break out the crappie gear and fish 1/32 jighheads under a float. While fishing mutter out loud just how utterly fantastic it would be to go home with a feed of Gills or crappie. Eyes have awesome hearing and will feel left out and just smash your offerings. Works for muskies and bass too. You really just have to trick them into thinking your fishing for a different species.

ehg Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Have you tried dragging worm harness along weed line low light hours? Maybe fish are deeper along shoals north of Roetzels Island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captpierre Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Have you tried dragging worm harness along weed line low light hours? Maybe fish are deeper along shoals north of Roetzels Island? Tried that last year mid season. Got tired of the panfish with few eyes But will try again Thanks.

Gallie Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 If it makes you feel any better i spent 12 hours fishing georgian bay yesterday for skis and boated 0. That makes 10 days of muskie fishing with none boated for me lol, 2 days doesnt sound so bad. I keep going and expect it to happen anytime and so should you!

Old Ironmaker Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I haven't boated one yet this year either. Lost a few at the boat and I never usually lose them, I need a new net man. I will catch one this coming weekend fishing for Bass I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soft bottom is the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dara Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) They aren't that hard to catch. I got out for a couple hours around noon yesterday.

Sinker Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'm not sure what your doing wrong, but we have been slaying them since opener. Up to 28". Lots over the slot this year, and lots under as well. Wasn't it you that posted this same thread last year? S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallie Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 To clarify only one of those days was georgian bay, 4 in haliburton and 5 in balsam lol. Raised a bunch of fish tons of follows and even lost a few that actually bit but just cant boat one. Sorry for the hijack, just wanted you to know you are not alone ?
