Black_Blade Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Just wondering what the fishing is like on the Trent River, just south of Campbellford. Wife and I are thinking of heading that way for the weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davew3 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 You will find the water is a little low around there right now. In the day you will get Bass and maybe a Muskie. At night try fishing at the different locks for walleye. I was in Campbellford last Sat and I have been fishing the different locks for years. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlied Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 fishing around the Hastings area of the Trent holds alot of musky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Blade Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 thanks for the info guys...I don't really have any equipment for muskie...other than my baitcaster has 30 pound PowerPro on it. Maybe I'll grab one of those big Mepps Muskie spinners at CTC and some wire leaders. Have yet to attempt for Walleyes...I got a ton of lures but most are more suitable for bass (alot of soft plastics and spinnerbaits, etc) We will be camping at Ferris Provincial Park, I'll have my 14' Sportspal and motor.

lookinforwalleye Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Walleye love spinnerbaits, double willow white on white and chartruese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Blade Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Spinnerbaits...I have several of those type that have the R bend in them.....man but they are a PITA....I much prefer the ones with complete twisted eye on them. The R type almost always mess up, so ya end up with a wasted cast. I have put little rubber O rings on the R to prevent this, but just thought I'd rant about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Blade Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) I put a treble stinger hook on my Storm Wild Eye Swim Shad Spinner bait(had 2 pike jump off on me at the boat), so I will be trolling with that puppy for sure. I have an assortment of other crankbaits and have uploaded a pic of them. I will prolly have all of them on my line at one time or another this weekend, but would love any feedback on what may be the better bet for the Trent in the area around Ferris Prov Park. No trolling expedition would be complete without dragging some trolling spoons as well of course! Edited July 19, 2007 by Black Blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davew3 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Just down the river from the park is 4th line, Hagues Reach. It is a boat lock. At night cross the lock and fish off the cement wall. Also above the lock is a good bass area. Further down the road is Empire Cheese factory. If you like cheese you have to stop in. For a day trip drive up hwy 30 to Trent Village. Go up stream beside the big weed bed. Good chance of a muskie in there as well as walleye. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickGG Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 fishing around the Hastings area of the Trent holds alot of musky! I lost one of my favorite bagleys lip less bass crankbait in that area to a musky . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
