The Professor and I left for Mountsberg at 4:00 am from Toronto. We stopped by Timmy’s and McDonald’s for some grub on exit 320 before we headed out into the water. There’s nothing like a fresh coffee flavoured coffee from Timmy’s and a Sausage Egg McMuffin from Mc’s. By 5:30 am, we were on the water in search for the elusive Mountsberg Bass.
We started by fan casting the shorelines and at about 7:00 am I hooked a Northern Pike. It wasn’t very big but still put up a good fight. The Professor suggested that we stay at this spot for a “while†since my catch signals that other fish are in the area. In other words, he was “feeling it†and indeed he was.
At about 8:00 am, his intuition finally paid off. He threw his lure into a suspecting weed pocket…after reeling very slowly, he saw a Monster Bass jump and grab his lure, then yells, “WHOA! GOT ONEâ€. I was ecstatic and kept reminding him to keep a tight line. After a few attempts to pull the bass out of the weeds, she wouldn’t move out of the heavy cover…so I decided to lift the anchor. It was a real site to see since the fish, with all its might, managed to stay its ground for The Professor to reel the canoe towards the fish. I grabbed the net and it turns out to be +4.5 lbs! What a beauty! About another half hour later, he hooked himself another bass but, just like any other fishing story, it spit the bait out.
We continued to fish the general area but moved closer to shore to try other pockets. At about 10:00 am, on my first cast, a 2.5 lbs bass engulfed my lure. After a brief, yet enjoyable fight, I was able to land her in the canoe. It was no 4.5 lbs, but nonetheless, the fish put a smile on my face! The Professor can attest to that!
What can I say? “Mountsberg, you were good to us again!†Three fish on and one fishing story….not too bad at all. Take care everyone!

A small one, yes, but I have to give credit where credit is due
