In my last report, we were crushing largies in the deep weeds.  Since then, that bite has died off a bit, but not before my buddy smoked a 6+ pounder, his biggest of the year.  On Sunday we had a club tournament on a smaller lake and the weather was nuts.  It was 8C (46F) with 40kmh winds and pouring rain.  I could not figure the fish out.  I tried fishing smallies, I tried largies in milfoil, on rocks.  I fished slow, I fished fast.  I had 1 small fish at 1pm.  Then I punched a mat and got a fish over 4.  I kept going.  In the next 2 hours, I landed 12 more keepers and managed a 3rd place finish.  Punching mats in 1-2 ft of water.

I spent this past week exploring a bunch of smaller lakes in the Haliburtons.  I went looking for big fish, but was instead rewarded with numbers.  Big numbers.  Over 2 days I landed close to 100 fish, mostly on jerkbaits in 18-45 feet of water.  So much fun.  Had a trip out to the main lake Simcoe yesterday,  Found lots, but with high pressure and lack of wind, it was a tough bite. Still managed some good ones though.
