Check the reg's where you plan to fish. They are fall spawners. Smallmouth were on fire today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siwash Posted November 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 I fish a haliburton lake that is stocked. Opened 12 months alsi thinking of head lake in Hali - never tried it. Muskie bass and Wallys I think alternative would be Cameron on the kawarthas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 so what did you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I had a bunch of friends (4 boats) out for musky yesterday on a couple different lakes. They went 2 for 4 as a group, so not the worst day ever but not one for the ages either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siwash Posted November 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Didn't get out! Falling cleanup! leaves everywhere so will try to get out another day before it turns really cold I might hit Cameron. Never fished it and hear its great for musky.. and many other species.

BillM Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I'd be fishing smallies right now. Probably the easiest and most plentiful to catch at this time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspended? Ig guess it could be dependent on the weather... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowMan Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) We got over 100 big Smallies the past 3 days. All 25 to 40 ft deep on fast breaking transitions from shallow feeding flats to the deepest parts of the main lake basin. You're basically looking for the "elevators" adjacent to the any remaining green weeds (especially Cabbage) or boulder fields. Water temp was 52f. Most fish came on dropshots with minnow imitations in natural colours...this was a clear water lake. MaxScent FlatWorms in Black Shiner and Z-Man Jerk Shads in Smelt got most of the bites. This is my favourite time of year for big brown fish. Edited November 7, 2022 by CrowMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
