Fishing Pigeon Lake in the Kawarthas with the Musky Boys and @Mickey Finn after a year hiatus.

Finally some decent weather!?




Other boat fired the first shot, landing a 45" fatty.

Nice to see you made the “ski” trip again @stomp. The weather here has been the $hits. I’m still wearing my Ice Amour coat except the last 2 days. Oh ya.......the black flies have arrived????

Fished the evening.. came across a big dead musky along the shoreline... checked it out and noticed what looked like a big bass stuck in its craw...


Yours truly caught this nice largemouth


@Mickey Finn bagged a nice 27" Kawartha eye outside of the slot on the troll


We had a good rip on the troll and it acted like a 'ski.. but never saw it before it shook off.

@stomp... amazing the size of the bass that musky tried to eat but they tend to be gluttons.

When we enlarged the photo the fish being eaten looks like a small Lunge or Pike.

What da ya think?

Clearly a Pike eating a Pike IMO. That photo has been around for years.....

I thought it looked like a pike also but it said a musky but pike are just as big a glutton. This video no mistake is a musky chomping a pike.

Fishing has bben slow @Mickey Finn put me on this 38" #pigeon lake.

Nice ski but what's with the hair in the bass photo @stomp... did you go for another swim?

 

[stomp]

I did step out on a rock pile to retrieve a spinner bait but only went calf high. Just glad to have hair at my age @Wave Runner .

 

[stomp]

Near dusk, we were heading to the barn at Camp Fisherman on Pigeon Lake. I said to @Mickey Finn that it would be good to bag a fish right in front of the dock. He cleared his line and I slowly pulled my Wiley Plug to the boat. About 4 feet from the stern a musky rushed my bait and closed his mouth on the lure. My hook set was extreme and ikely gave whiplash and then it was game on! After a lot of jumping and splashing and hooting and hollering , this fat 33" Kawartha musky was smiling for the camera. Thanks for the musky guiding service @Mickey Finn !

I wish at times that I still had hair at my age [USER=1]@stomp lol but I have saved money on shampoo over the years,which allows me to buy more fishing tackle!!

Fished pigeon as well this weekend with my son and his wife, fishing was slow but could not ask for better fishing partners was a fantastic weekend on the lake. Weekend was capped by catching my first musky. Wasn’t a monster but fought like one.

Congratulations on catching that beautiful musky @stomp and also great guiding service by @Mickey Finn and a good call for wanting to cast your Wiley Plug to the dock!! Now that you are totally hooked on musky fishing,you probably have already booked your trip again for another musky fishing trip for next year,(or even this year again),on pigeon lake & muskies ON!! ?????

You could save even more if your barber charged a nickel per hair... cost of haircut would be a quarter.
