honeyv Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 Spent a night at Guelph Lake Conservation Area. Got the kayak out in the evening. I was close to being skunked if not for the last second LOL. I found a nice shallow bay where one unlucky snot rocket bit my bait (lucky for me). It was a tough evening so I called it shortly after that little guy bit, then I went and got some grub on the fire! oh and I also got an OOS weird looking orange-mutant lookin' bass. The real fun was the next morning after packing up. I hit some smaller streams in search of some Specks "on the way" home and they did NOT disappoint and I had a limit in no time at all! smerchly, Darryl L, fredfisher and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmall Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 Nice trout! I'll be heading up there this summer for 5 days. Any pointers/tips? I'll probably be shore fishing. Might have access to a small kayak, but I don't really have any experience on it. honeyv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care if you get in a kayak and safety first. Hope you have a good time. smerchly and Tmall 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Great post and NICE spekkies . I like eating perch , pike , eyes, and rainbows but spekkies have to be the best eating fish of all . I have also had some great eating splake that had very orange meat ....very good eating as well . honeyv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trolling motor and mount work fantastic! I was trying something new with the sonar though. I couldn't make it work so that was a major bummer. I was tried to mount it in-hull with putty. But it didn't get a read through the hull or putty. So back to the scupper it goes until I figure out a better way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! You are on the nose there about them tasting great. Specs, Perch, Walleye and Crappie are my favorite to eat. Pike are good eats, but for me personally I have to take out all the bones. You lose a lot of meat that way, but I'd rather that then be annoyed while trying to enjoy a meal. Smallies are also an underrated eating fish.

I can ask him what he uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came across this video that said to use duct seal. Looked super easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
