LOCATION: Loughborough lake,
Ontario, Canada LARGEMOUTH BASS, SMALLMOUTH BASS, NORTHERN PIKE FISHING TRIP Air Temp: average 56 degrees Rods: 6.8 fast tip to 7.3 foot medium light spinning / baitcaster.
Open Season: We would like to state up front that the SFT (Super Fishing Tackle Co.) line of lures are brand NEW to the USA and Canadian markets! In fact, there is no outlet selling them just yet, but that will soon change as SFT is working with some of the major sport fishing retailers in the USA to distribute and sell these outstanding lures! theBASSguys looked at the SFT lures and immediately saw the potential they had to catch fish in our waters. Their hard plastic baits are beautifully constructed of high quality materials, and come in various colors and size / weight configurations. They also offer a good selection of soft plastics and jig head versions that we have not seen before. theBASSguys were excited to be the first anglers to use them here so read on to get an idea of the experience we had with all lures that SFT sent us. Loughborough Lake is an outstanding body of water with great bottom structure consisting of weeds, rock ledges and many small islands scattered throughtout the north end of the lake. It holds Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Crappies of all sizes. These fish ware not particularly large but they sure were fat! This lake also has a number of rocks just below the surface that our engine skag found on occasion...so GO SLOW until you learn where they are... if you have GPS sonar set a waypoint for each one... it will save you headaches later on! The weather this week was horrible except for the LAST day of our trip. We experienced some sun with high sustained winds of 15 to 25 miles per hour, and rain squalls that made visibility almost impossible. You can't see this in our video or pictures because the format we used tends to flatten out the water. But despite the weather we were able to capture some decent shots of bass and pike being caught in both video and still images. The SFT - Super Fishing Tackle Co. lures were totally new to us, as was this lake which we have never been to before. We could have taken these lures to lakes that we KNOW will always produce fish but we wanted to test them on a brand new body of water to see what they could do. The learning curve with the hard plastic lures was TIME consuming but we soon learned that a long cast followed by a slow 3 turns on the reel with periodic jerking of the rod tip (medium fast rod) produced some good strikes! This method worked for all of the SFT hard plastic baits we used. We also used their soft plastic Hookstream swimbait, Spin Tails and Little Smart Jigs. The jigs are a unique design and they produced some really good hits for us in the weed areas we found! We had used these with good results in other trips we took so we anticipated that they would work on this lake as well... and they did! Visit SFT Lures |
