Anybody else like to fish?

Got my first musky last weekend then banged a nice 38incher while trolling on the houseboat!!

Man those houseboats look so fun. I know a few people who rent them yearly and go up the Trent. Sounds like kind of a shitshow with all the newbie boat drivers around though lol… apparently they’ll rent those monsters to just about anybody

I pretty much only fish bass here for fun because I don’t know how to find anything else. Have caught lots of 3-4
lb+ small and largemouth they’re pretty exciting. All these years fishing bass spots I’ve never even seen a pike let alone caught one

Ya i thought the same thing before we went, about newbs crashin boats everywhere. But the houseboat only did like 10mph and has built in bumpers all around lol

Trolling with a houseboat never seen that before.
10 mph don’t now why it wouldn’t work.
Congratulations on your first muskies, I’ve never caught one but my wife has a 38.
I’ve got some humungous northern Pike thou.

That looks fun. I never thought of trying to rent one. I used to go out on my small bass tracker and sleep in it at night in an empty boat house or dock and leave early. I’d love to be able to anchor out in a slough and bbq and fish before sleeping like a king on the water, heh. Nice idea.

Nice Muskellunge… they are a lot of fun to catch… We are fortunate in Ontario to have such a diverse fishery, with many species to angle for…

I did the Three Buoys houseboat thing in the early 90s with some friends who went to Fleming, but there was no fishing involved… more of an inebriation cruise for everyone… We got away with a lot of shit back then that wouldn’t be so cool nowadays with the Marine Patrol…lol

Take it easy and ā€œSet the hookā€¦ā€

I’ve used those lots and the senko type worms. I like to fish weedless because I’m usually in areas with lots of stuff. I guess they just don’t like me lol

Oh I’m sure there’s been lots of carnage even at 10mph… I’m gonna look up some YouTube videos now haha

Rub some dirt on it with a used kleenex. It works for me.
