Sunday Fishing...Without Rain!!! hahaha

[Garry2rs]

One of the lakes that I guide on is call Chandos. I went there today with my neighbor and his daughter to try out my new rod and to check out some locations for Pike and Bass.
We started at the boat ramp on Hwy #620 and worked south along the east shore checking small bays for medium size Pike. The big Pike have gone deep along with the Lake Trout, so without steel line etc. small Pike are what are available. We found this one a few meters off shore in 7-8 FOW over some sunken logs. It hit a Spro Rattle-Trap type bait in Old Glory colour pattern.

We moved to the west shore and checked around islands and in the back of bays looking for Bass.
The shallows were empty, but we found SMBass and a ton of Rock Bass over the rocks.
It was a couple of hours before our first LMBass near a dock around a small patch of lily-pads.

This one took a wacky rigged 4" Green Pumpkin, Senko type worm.
At the south end of the Lake is Gilmour Bay. This is where we ended the day with several more LMBass.
The best fish of the day was this 3.5 pound SMBass.

He came out from under a dock and ate another Green Pumpkin Senko imitation in Gilmout Bay.
All fish were released to fight again.

Looks like a good time had by all! Very cool. I didn't know that Chandos had Pike in it. Nice fish. The looks on kids faces holding fish is priceless. :mrgreen:

Thanks for your contribution, nice photos and info. For some of us who are not familiar with this lake, would you mind giving us more info : such as - where is this lake located, how far it is from Toronto, etc.

Thanks in advance! :mrgreen:

Open a road map and search for Chandos in the North Kawarthas...
Off of Hwy #28 near Apsley...
North of Peterborough...
About two hours from Toronto...
Or just Google it.
