Civic holiday week-end

The past few days I have done a lot of fishing! On Thursday I fished a twilight tourney on Scugog, Friday I spent the day taking my younger cousins fishing, than on Saturday, I fished a tourney on G-Pool.

On Scugog, I got partnered up with Russ Watkins from Simax again. This was a lake he was familiar with, which really helped! We spent the afternoon throwing frogs and Strike King Rodents, and hooked some very nice fish. We finished 3rd, just 5 oz out of a pay spot.

On friday with my cousins, we spent the day running and gunning fishing from shore, I decided to give them a lot of different fishing scenarios. We started off fishing the Holland Canal, and ended up in Muskoka, on the way fishing vegetation crowded shorelines, boat docks, under bridges, causeways, and dams with mixed results. My cousins caught a bunch of panners, and I landed a few big smallies.


The smallies were hitting Strike King Perfect Plastics, and my favourite bait to throw, X-Raps!

Than on Saturday, I fished a Canadian Bass Anglers Federation tournament on G-Pool. We spent the morning fishing a back bay that was holding some bug buckets all week, we got one good hit, but the fish moved on. We made a decision to fish some current, and on the way, we hit some boat houses and weeds near the main channel. Running and gunning paid off again, skipping Trigger X tubes under docks we started to hook into some decent sized fish. Unfortunately, time ran out on us, just as we honed in on the pattern, we had to head back for weigh in. We managed just over 10 lbs for 7th place.




Overall, it was a really good week end, spent some time on the hammock at the cottage, spent a good bit of time on the water, and caught a lot of fish!
