The day started off by meeting Goreman at 5:15AM. What turned out to be a cold and cloudy morning actually turned out to be another great trip! Simply put, waking up early allows you to get stuff done. We decided to hit Lake Scugog and try our luck for some of the infamous walleyes and crappies. Note to self - neglecting to buy or catching your own live bait will cost you and arm and a leg at the local bait store (well, $13 to be exact). Lake Scugog is definitely one of the toughest lakes to fish as it's super shallow and is choke full of weeds everywhere. No walleyes caught today, but we still got tons of dinky perch, rockbass, sunfish, bluegill, some crappie, and a few nice bass - including a HUGE 4lb Largemouth Bass. We only kept 8 crappies for a fresh dinner as the rest were released to be caught another day (remember, conservation is the key!). Thanks Goreman for another great trip!
Thought of the day:
"Fishing is one of those blessings from God that makes us rich, no matter what our bank account says".
