Hi Mirdar, and welcome to the board.

I haven't fished Rice Lake in a while but I used to have good luck throwing jerk baits at the mouth of the Otonabee during this time of year.

During the summer you might want to try some protected back bays in some of the other Kawartha Lakes, as many of them are protected from bad weather and will help you stay safe while providing you with the chance of fishing water that holds the shelter necessary for big fish to thrive in.

Don't be afraid to expand your lure selection as well; my biggest fish this year came on topwaters and jerk baits. Usually anything in a natural pattern like shad or perch will perform well in the Kawartha's.

Cheers, and good luck!

Thanks Attila . i will give the jerkbaits a try for sure. I try topwater but I think I give up to fast on them.
