Another great outing with Freddy!

Date: Oct 4, 2008
Location: Kawartha Lakes, Ontario

Time again for our annual outing.  My mission this time was to put Freddy on his biggest fish of his life.  Haha, chances are slim though considering we only head out once a year.  Last year, I managed to hook a 15lber, but felt bad as I put on a show!

Got on the water around 10am.  It was cold 6degrees!  This was the first time temps dropped below 10degrees.  So we were definitely dealing with cold front conditions, wind was picking up with some eastward waves.  So the best strategy today would be to troll the drop off facing the west. 

Trolled my usual areas, with no luck.  Finally around 1pm we hit 2 baby musky in the 5lb range.  Next what I think to be weeds turn out to be a 15.5lber!  A repeat of last year I thought?!?!  I felt really bad, I mean I didn't call out Freddy to put on a show again.  Must stay till he gets a fish I thought.  We worked our way down the line, then thought screw it.  Let's go back to where I caught mine.  Anyhow, mission accomplished, 17.5lbs(pic doesn't do his fish justice).  Wow what a year!
