BillM Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) Decided to take a personal day and fish the Kawarthas with a buddy that hasn't been out on the water for years.. Water temps were perfect (low 70's) and the fish were eating. Tied my PB day with 6 muskies in the boat, 3 came unbuttoned... Capped it off with this fat 44 incher that followed earlier in the day but didn't commit. Edited September 4, 2022 by BillM 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice confidence boost when fish are few and far between in my home waters of Gbay. Off next week to Nipissing to put the hurt on some big girls!

AKRISONER Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 It’s almost like people have given up on pigeon lake…just an observation but I see so few people fishing it for musky compared to a few years back…I’m not sure why the tri lakes are loaded with skis! I seem to hook or catch one every trip there bass fishing these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually fish Pigeon on opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshtrax Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 Nice... its pretty much the only fish in ontairo I have never boated. Going to have to give it an honest go one of these times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 well I got my season started. Went to Pigeon yesterday and boated 2 lost a 3rd. Nothing huge, but you don't want to start off too hot anyways. Decent day but still lots of room for improvement. Water in am was 69 by the afternoon was 71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted September 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 I just got back from up north. Had a good few days. Trolling bite was on, I lost a giant on a figure 8, buddy couldn't get the net in the water in time. Also had an even bigger fish roll a Suick, come back on it and miss it again. Solid 50in, then 10 mins later the wind dies and the bite stops for the rest of the day. This fish came in at 46, heaviest muskie I've ever held. Super thick everywhere, made that Kawartha fish look like a baby. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
