Dave, Bonnie and Pete arrived Sunday afternoon and this is how the fishing went

Sunday mid afternoon and evening was a Great way to start the rest of the week off with a bunch of nice fish. It's always nice to have a plan come together and tweak it a bit to have more success.

Bad Bouy Baits Swimbaits were working, my Grand Daughters friends Father make these in Brussels. 

Beautiful Sunset to end the fishing day, time for our Spaghetti Supper 9:51

Kawartha Lakes Early Bass Opener was a successful Weekend again

Saturday and Sunday on the water with Darcy and Jenna and family catching Panfish, Rockbass. Smallies, Largies and Pike to make for a perfect family fishing trip. You have to like the early bass season opener in Zone 17 on the Kawarthas, first take care of the kids then hit up a few spots for Bass and Pike then back to fishing with the kids again.

Big Changes in the Boat This Week

Dropped the boat off Monday at @AnglingOutfitters to get some undated, back down Wednesday to pick it up and they did a great job, then it was back to Silver Lake to try for some Panfish and map a bunch of the lake out, everything worked great except to to people in the boat there will be a bit of a learning curve, about half the lake mapped and Pumpkinseed, Rockbass, Perch, Bluegill and Crappie all caught and release and took a bit of time to check out the new Active Target and it showed the Crappie baits being used and ended a few fish came up to check out the baits and then it stated to rain so we did a bit more mapping and called it quits. I'm heading out shortly to get the rest of the lake mapped and play more with the A.T. to see how it works in Forward and Perspective modes, early Bass season starts on Saturday in Zone 17.

The First Teeswater FunFest for the Kids was a huge success

My sister took a few pictures of her Great Grand Daughter with me passing on the tradition from one generation to another. I set up at 11:00 started casting about 12:00 had to stop for a washroom break at 5:00 and grabbed a slice of 🍕 and a 🌭 from the food booth beside our exhibit and when I sat down to eat they got the rods back out again and started casting lol. Lots of FUN had by all that were there. Soap Box Derby, Foam Party, Human Fuse Ball, Face Painting all free for the kids and a Baseball Tournament for the Adults, Food, Live Music, Beer Gardens and a Beautiful Day.

Here are a few knots I use and thought I'd share

I use this one more than any other knot and have been for years

+

This is pretty easy to tie and I used it for years

I switched to this Drop Shot Knot a few winters ago for Panfish and then added to Bass as well.

Lots of people use this knot for Drop Shotting as well

You never know when you'll need a loop knot hanging off your line

Always good to know 

One of the best Flipp'n Knots for Texas Rigging

 

This Might Be Closer Than You Think Kids Fishing Trip's

 Here is a 50km radius map around Silver Lake at Kinloss.

Great for a FUN Kids Fishing Trip out of a Nitro Z6 17' Bassboat.

Great for a young Family or a couple Fishing Buddies that don't have access to a boat to get out on the water, #Panfish are a lot of FUN and there are #Crappie, #Bluegill, #Pumpkinseed, #Rockbass and small #Perch with #Smallmouth and #Largemouth #Bass, #Pike and #Walleye also in the lake. I've been taking out Kids in the area for a long time and have just retired and will be booking a lot more days to help get kids get #HookedOnFishing 

Bring Your Own Lifejackets that way you know they fit.
