Kanickle on Large Rideau
Posted: Sun Oct 04, 2009 7:51 am
Went out yesterday with Plowjock to wash some lure son the big rideau.
Couldn't have asked for a better day sunny warm a bit of wind.
We started fishing some deep weedlines and transiton areas. We were rewarded with some nice chunky smallies.
Next up were more deep weedlines this time a nice largie. We managed to put a few in the boat then the bite turned off from about 1:45 till 3:15.
Why so precise? Well I was getting a little bored, I washed a lot of lures and was running out of dirty ones to clean.
We decide to head in but not before insepctiong an area we hadn't looked at before, And it was on the way in to the launch.
What we found was a nice 20 fow transition to 8 fow with nice healthy weeds.
We had been mainly drop shotting (doesn't work don't try it) but when I saw the weds @ 8' I switched to a wacky worm. I ahd been throwing a whit worm but it was really not working so I switched up to a secret colour. One I did not show Plowjock
No sooner had I tossed it out when I felt small tic then a slam!
Nice - a nickle (weighed on a berkley digital scale) and a largie at that! Measured 20" and really fat!


Plowjock finished the day with a nice 3 +lb smallie
