I've been out at the liftlock here in lindsay past three days.
1st day out i was skunked, so i hittup the tackleshop the next morning and i was out there at 8:30 in the evening. Caught two 2lb walleyes twitching jerkbaits(suspending rogues and husky jerks), and had a much bigger fish break off. Last night landed 3 fish from1lb to 3lbs. 1 Came off of a white grub on a standup jig. The rest were on a Cordel Redfin. Almost at midnight I got a hit that made my rod buckle. It was a walleye pushing 6lbs :O...Some butt hole offered to net it and grabbed my line, busted off the fish and lost the Redfin...
I guess he thinks hes gonna land that one for himself another day..

Hope to see some fish-hawkers out there...
tip - rainy days they seem to be moving up river more often...

The locks in Lindsay are a blast, good fishng and never really far if you live in town, spent many days at the locks or in the general vicinity of the town of Lindsay when I should have been in class :oops: :oops: . But those are some dandy fish you're getting, have fun, it's only gonna get better.

Me, I have a simple rule, my friends know it and most strangers who want to "lend a hand" get's the jist of it pretty quickly, you touch my line when I am fighting a fish, you just lost your hand, that simple. I am gonna hack at it with a dull fillet knife, gnaw it off if I have to, I don't care.

Thats a harsh thing that happened to you man.
I lost my biggest smallmouth of the year because I was 'smart' enought to grab my line and try lifting it up. The spot where I was fishing had a waist-high railing and I didn't have a net, so I really had no choice. Got him just out of the water, he twitched, snapped off, hit the railing and was gone. He was five pounds if he was an ounce. :cry:

Hey guys, I haven't caught anuy walleye yet at the lift lock myelf, But Me and my buddy managed to catch a musky each just down the river. I have heard of many guys catching walleye there, after dark definately seems the time to go. Anyone can drop me a PM if they want a partner to hit some spots in Lindsay!

I have been getting more quantity and quality out of Sturgeon lK...Lungehaven cottages offers 9.9's for fairly cheap. Halfday will run you about $45.

If you ever see me out there with my green st.pats hat, drop by and say yo.. ;)
