Muskie outing?

Post by JP » Tue Aug 24, 2004 10:12 pm

Last year some Fish-Hawkers got together and had a muskie day on the Rideau, thinking of doing that again in late september or late october? It was a great time last year. Anyone interested? We can BBQ or something afterwards at Taylor park. (I know that I'm steeling RJ's idea

, but since I couldn't make the last one.

)
Still looking for someone to go with on friday 8am-mid afternoon.

I'm sure these get-together days will become more frequent....

Any weekend but Labour Day and the weekend after....I'll be there!

I just read this great article on muskie fishing. Hey everything I can learn about these toothy critters is money in the bank by the time I get to an outing like you guys are talking about I at least have a few new ideas to try out... or reading these articles reminds me that what I am doing is going to produce fish sooner or later.

Enjoy

Sounds good to me, I have been thinking of trying the Rideau in the fall.

Count me in!

My advice would be to do it in late September or early October. Most of the annoying big cruisers, jet-skies and water-skiers should be off the water by then. Otherwise, a weekend outing on the Rideau can be quite miserable.

I'm sure RJ will havea few comments to make about the boat traffic on sunday afternoon

Anyone who fishes the rideau probably has seen the insane guy that zipps past doing about 80MPH in his tiny speed machine with a 50ft rooster tail

I'll feel really sorry for the poor family who's child is out swimming or waterskiing, and gets plowed over by that fool though. Going 80mph on a waterway that small is just plain irresponsible. Moron.

So, to all you fools out there who are driving these monstrous cigar and speed boats down the Rideau, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Might I suggest the ocean!

I've always said that's what the St. Lawrence is for.. Lots of open water in most areas with little boat traffic to worry about... Surely those guys would have a much better time not having to worry about hitting someone.

I know one thing though i'd never take my kid out tubing on the rideau.. i'd be too scared of seeing her get run over. I'm suprised we don't hear of more accidents.

I'd make the trip to Ottawa to put a little time in for a muskie. Count me in.

OK, RJ.....time to pick a date. heh heh

But now lets hope that I atleast have one skie over the side of the boat by then

Look forward to it!!!!

My suggestion would be October 2nd. Call it a gut feeling.
