This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Opening weekend report with a surprise!

Post by Lvace »

Alright Friday is here....Oh no I need to get my new crankbait rod....Run over to Paddletales and get my new Crucial and some more stuff.....that place is evil.... 8-)

Sat morning is here cancelled plans get on the Rideau!!!! First Tia and I head over to my crappie hot spot so we can put a few fish in the boat and she can get her first soft water crappie !! Mission accomplished :D .... Now over to pike and walleye! A lot less weeds then this time last year.... Slow but we manage to get some pike on board and I lost a walleye at the boat... Using a Live target yellow perch jerkbait I cast it out start my jerk jerk retrieve! Then all of a sudden I feel a hit and this fish has weight and power !!!! At first I am thinking crap musky...... but to my surprise after a long fight and lots a reel peels and pulled all over the place we get in the net...... WTF :o :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: A carp on a jerkbait....

the next day for some reason the musky where hitting everything I was throwing :( Not in season lost some lures to the beasts... other fish where caught but this nice nice walleye hit in 5 ft of water :D I love Rideau river gold !!!

Good times on the water with many fish caught!!!! I wish we would have taken more pics tho... Tight lines all!
