Hey man nice post !!

I spoke with the rapala pro the other day who not only put me on to a guy who fixed the motor but also let me in on some hot spots on scugog that would put on some nice eyes when our other spots werent producing. Hes also located right on scugog so maybe if we can get out again we can stop off their.

Also the opener is on Sturgeon which we were supposed to get to but with the damn trolling motor troubles never happened :(

If you want we can head up friday mid day for some pre fish there see what we get. but its upto you if you can be avail for that …

anyways man , will make it up … we’ll get you that dooker just yet …

btw that muskie you had on was a tank , im still recalling the vision , it was no jokes !

Well it’s good to see that it’s not just me having a hard time locating muskie on Scugog so far this year. After having such a phenominal fishing experience last year on Scugog, I have only landed two muskie so far this year. The only problem has been is that both were caught during outings for walleye. It is amazing how much your confidence can decrease after only a few outages. I am heading up to Pigeon this weekend and hopefully I can change my luck, but the way the weather has been, I am somewhat sceptical. The only thing I can do now is stay with my tried and tested lures and keep washing my lures as the days pass. I’m sure that one of these outings, a muskie will enjoy my heavily washed lures and enjoy our brief encounter. Here’s to better weather to give all of us avid muskie anglers a bit of help.
P.S. Thanks again to the fishing fury team for posting my story last year on muskie fishing in Scugog. The stickers you sent look great on the hard hat and always remind me of my great adventures fishing. Cheers.

Great Report Jon. Glad to see you out casting!! Too bad about the motor issues but thats a day fishing. The weather has been nutz. I just got back from a few days on Pigeon. Managed to raise a few big gals and lost 3 decent skis. Tough fishing this season thus far in the musky end of things. With all these changing fronts its been gangbusters one minute and then shuts down the next.

Shoot me an email if you got some free time coming up, we could hit up the Moira for skis and the Bay for eyes or bass.

It’s in my humble opinion that the long winter, combined with the cold spring caused a late spawn.
I spent 2 days on opening week, mid-week on The Bog, & all I was able to get were 4 juvies for my efforts.
While comparing notes with a known guide on the lake, we came up with the theory that the smaller males were sitting on the usual summer spots, but within a week or 2 the bigger females would be re-claiming these spots from the males.
Now, having said that, he’s a troller, & I’m a caster, so our spots differ immensely, & he was able to get a few bigguns in the boat, but not as consistantly as he’s used to.
I know the feeling….lol.
