Woke the boys at 5 am had the boat and gear already loaded the night before so we were on the road by 5:30 and launching at Sparrow lake before 6:30 am.
Have only fished Sparrow twice before for Pike , so we headed to a spot not far from the launch were we had caught a OOS LM couple of weeks prior.
The lake was nice a quiet ( never got too busy
) this fella didn't mind sharing his spot
Muskie Mike on his first few casts hooks up a nice 16" LM
MM has a tradition of catching the first fish of the day
Not soon after MM lands several fish ( 4 more to be exact)
Pikeie not to be outdone come sup with the largest Bass of the day an 18" LM
I had no luck with bass on saturday only managed a couple of small pike
Pikeie also connected with a Dogfish but lost it at the boat .
By11:30 it was getting too hot ! so we packed it in and headed back to the cottage .
As a footnote of sorts to saturday we stopped at the Narrows ( north end Simcoe at Orillia) on our way home and dropped the boat in for an hour or so of fishing .True to form MM lands a nice little 13 SM and a good sized 10"Rock bass .A nice ending to a good opening weekend ... for some of us anyways
All bass were caught on Green Pumkinseed Senkos on Sledheads , what I think will be a popular choice in our boat this season.
