Kawarthas Report

[Hank Jr]

My son and I haven't been up to the Kawarthas for several years because of Covid and my son started a new job so no vacation time . I also had some heart problems . We only got out 4 days last week because of the wind and rain . We fished 2 days on Pigeon and 2 days on Sturgeon . We boated 3 Muskies had 7 follows and 4 hits from Muskies . We only count hits if we see the Muskie . One 34" er and 2 follows came from 2 1/2 ft of water in a stump and down timber shore line we fish . Some of our favorite weed edges we couldn't fish with 8 -12 mph winds . Thursday and Friday were a lot better weather wise . My son did a good job taking care of his old Dad on this trip I spent a lot of time setting instead of casting . We had a fun time and I hope we can make a trip next year . Good luck to everyone when you get out . Here is my sons first fish on Monday from Pigeon .

Great job! Didn't have to say that was on Pigeon....the houseboat in the background is all I needed to see to know it!

Agreed. They are so much more colorful and green compared to the LSC fish which seem to be much more pale (but are bigger)

Looks  like you had a good time  on  sturgeon lake. My friends and I used to fish there every year. We stayed at Lunge Haven. The last year there we basically caught nothing.  Not even one walleye and only  a couple of bass. Do you think  it would be worth the trip to try again? Thanks for any info you can give.

I was out on Pigeon on the 28th for our annual tourney, only one 30” ski was caught. We got skunked. Didn’t even raise one…..

I don't know about that! Pigeon has her share of monsters, here's a few. I have many more, some bigger than these. There are many fish in the mid 50"'s in Pigeon.

Very nice fish ! However, those vertical holds aren't the best to ensure a healthy release. That's  a lot of unsupported weight pulling down on the spine.
