How to get there?





Swim? Just kidding ..... however, this denizen do swim.

















By wind power?

















By muscle power?









Or do it easy by motor power!

This is a 14 feet foldable portable plastic boat (Portabote.)

Third day 14 Jul 05, my catch was even better!






2005 was our first trip to Massasaga and the results amazed us.








Last day, back to the dock (15 Jul 05).







The boat and motor we used on this first trip was a 12 feet Lund aluminium boat with a 8 HP Honda 4-stroke outboard motor.

















Others got back with plenty of exercise.
















Canoes were available for rent on site.













Some brought their own kayaks.

How to lose a fish by playing with it!

Got one .....

Lost one



2006 had astonishing results with more fish than we can take home. We lost several in trying to video tape the action.

2007 Results









First fish caught by my wife
(31 Aug 07)










But I got a bigger one the next day.
(1 Sep 07)












We were late going there this year and most of the hot spots of previous years did not produce. Scouting for other spots landed some fish but the catch was less. However, we were surprised by the catch of a good size pike on the last day.
