Fishing for Shallow Spring Musky in the Kawarthas
Join us as we go fishing for shallow spring Musky and explore the pristine Kawartha Lakes in Ontario, diving into early season musky fishing techniques. Targeting these elusive predators in shallow waters, we use bucktails and glidebaits to entice the bite. We also focus on the major and minor moon phases, revealing how lunar cycles can impact musky activity and increase your chances of success. We were able to raise a good amount of fish and saw a bunch of follows, but it was hard to make these musky commit to eating a lure.

Aurora Bassmasters Canal Lake Pike Tournament
zhlédnutí 318Před 2 měsíci
I fished the 2024 Canal Lake Pike tournament hosted by the Aurora Bassmasters a few weekends ago! The bite was slow and we caught most of our fish in the afternoon. I only fished Canal Lake twice before so I milked one spot all day, with an exception in the afternoon which is where I caught the biggest pike of our day. We caught most of our fish on jerkbaits and the biggest pike was caught on a...

      I use a 6’3 medium rod w/ 20lb braid and palomar knot to my leader or bait. You can get away with lighter line and with a flouro leader for bass but I’ve been using this setup since I use it for pike and bass.

      Look on the rod for the action and the lure and line ratings. Everything I mentioned in the video can be thrown on any standard medium rod. I would use 15-20lb braid for the line to be safe and that will work for most lures

    40 years of fly-in fishing Northern Ontario in the spring (last 2 weeks of May), I totally agree with all your choices. I'm usually fishing Algoma country, flying out of White River. What's amazing is I even agree with your order of most productive. My regular pattern has settled on 80% Rapala Husky Jerks (blue & silver has been my consistent slayer). If too weedy moving to a Zoom swim bait with a slightly exposed hook on top. Usually 7" zoom swim baits, but sometimes they only want the 4.5 incher's. Thanks for taking the time to post this vid. Your appreciated. Will be on Lake Esnagi 1 week from today

    • @citybassboy99
      @citybassboy99 Před 2 měsíci

      I find It’s much easier to get stronger, controlled downward jerks because of the spinning setup and how you hold a spinning rod. Baitcasters are way too awkward to jerk hard and down.

      @@aiden4206 When i fish for pike I use any normal 6 inch wire leader you find at bass pro, etc. Black or silver colour doesn’t rlly matter. For bass, I use a small clamp that you can also find at bass pro, etc. The clamp is so small I don’t think it impedes the action much. The leader probably does impede the action slightly compared to no-leader but when you’re pike fishing you have no choice you need a leader

      I was able to use it nicely in 6-9ft which is where we fished for most of the day. I was able to see pike follow a few times. But the last spot of the day was 10-40ft and u could definitely see it shine in that 20ft+ zone. Much more better using it out deep like that. Still happy with it shallow though. I tried perspective mode too but that’s too advanced for my first time 😂. I just got it this winter.
