One of the biggest bonuses to having mid-week days off is the chance to fish lakes that see heavy traffic on weekends. I decided to try out a new stretch to me on the Rideau Lakes Chain. I had heard good things and decided to give it a go.
Between my partner for the day and I we had about 16 Largemouth, 10 Smallies and countless amounts of Bluegill, Perch and Rock Bass. Just a great busy day.
The highlight of the day was my second 5 plus pound fish of the 2011 season that was followed up shortly after by another nice chunk of Largie.
The big girl fell for a Senko. Her younger sister fell for a Double Wide Sweet Beaver on a Title Shot Jig.
For gear I was using a 7’6″ Medium Shimano Crucial spinning outfit spooled with 30 pound Hi-Vis Yellow Power Pro to a 10 pound test Fluro leader while throwing Senkos.
While flipping I was using my trusty 7’6″ Heavy Crucial with 40 pound Power Pro.
Good Times!
