Springwood Cottages is a beautiful cottage resort open all year, owned and maintained by Cezar Spirala, located on Kennebec Lake in the Land O’ Lakes region of Ontario (near Napanee about 4 hours from Toronto). There are several cottages spotted around this beautiful piece of Canadian Shield land and each is very well maintained and clean. Each cottage also has its own personality and extra amenities, some of which can get pretty luxurious including things like flat screen tv’s and jacuzzi. The decks surrounding the cottages were also in tip-top condition. The area is nicely landscaped and the staff are young, energetic and very friendly.

After the review you should also check out the album of photos from my trip to Springwood Cottages.

When I return from my brief coma I will have a full update about my weekend at Springwood Cottages and Kennebec Lake, but just to tease you a bit I will leave you with a few of my favorite scenery shots and a big frog that took a yellow slug-go.

I will work on integrating the two sites when I return from my trip. Until then Clive might post an update or two with a few photos from the twitter feed as I update this weekend, but I’m not sure what kind of family plans he has this weekend so it might not happen at all.

This is also a good time to let everyone know that we are looking for new contributors! Send us an email with some information about yourself, where you live, and what kind of fishing or fishing related topics you would like to write about. It’s not a paid gig, but you just might end up with some sweet free swag this summer…

Have a safe and exciting weekend every one!

Naturally I planned ahead making sure I wasn’t on call for work and that I had a good few friends willing to join me for a nice weekend out in cottage country fishing for bass. This weekend I will be fishing with David and Paul from the forums on Kennebec Lake about three hours from Toronto and we will be staying at Springwood Cottages right on the lake. David has stayed at this cottage before and is familiar with the lake so he will be a huge help. You may remember Paul from the high definition Toronto Island video where he caught a beautiful pike, as a native of France I doubt he’s ever experienced the excitement of bass season here in Ontario. Well tomorrow he will!

David tells me I’ll be waking up to this view Saturday morning, and that island looks like the perfect place to start looking for bass!

Also be sure to check out our new Fishing Fury Twitter page where I will (signal permitting) be updating live as the weekend progresses.

Check out Springwood Cottages website for more info on their services and Kennebec Lake!

I’ve already taken a sneak peak at the map for this lake and the area where I will be staying and I must admit that I’m impressed with the detail. The only thing I’m concerned about is the accuracy of the assisted GPS. Needless to say I will be testing this quite a bit this weekend since I’m not familiar with the lake.

A big thanks to Martin who brought this product to my attention in the forums.

Wish me luck!

I’m will be putting them to the test this weekend for sure and hope they “Flip on the Eat Switch” as the tag line goes. Right now if you buy four Trigger-X baits they will send you one free when you send in the coupon on their website.

Check out the Trigger-X website for a full catalog of the forms and colours available. I’ve also taken a high-res shot of the flip side of the packaging for more information.
