Peggy, Andrew and myself all arrived Friday evening, in time to set up camp, and sit back to relax by the fire pit after the 2 hour or so paddle to get to the cabin. While my Predator 13 can hold a ton of gear, it does turn from a surprisingly swift vessel to a big slow barge when weighted down with what must have been 500 pounds of cargo (including myself)! We explored and fished the lake all day Saturday thinking Craig and John wouldn't make it after they hadn't turned up when we finished for the day around 8... but after dark while sitting around the fire pit we heard a noise; it was Craig and John finally arriving at the island! They had gotten on the water earlier in the day and had fished all day before joining us.
There are all sorts of little grassy areas all around Modsley lake and also a ton of huge boulders thoughout. The pickerel fishing was awesome, though I didn't land any monsters. Andrew did land a 24.5 and a 25.5 inch pickerel which was awesome! I'll be back there sometime in hopes of hitting and landing the eleusive 30 incher!
Here is some video of just a few of the 40 pickerel I landed this weekend.
In addition to the 40 pickerel I put into the kayak I also caught a white perch and a nice size Fall Fish (Chub). I wasn't able to land a smallie, though to be honest I didn't spend much time trying for one.
Andrew caught the biggest fish of the day at 25.5 inches!
