passed the test today, im officially good to go!

yep, just bought mine today for the upcoming muskoka trip. now I can go out alone without having to bother my bro-in-law to come drive the boat

2 fish on one lure is always a great day!

Team buy is having a special for $29 just wanted to let you guys know http://www.teambuy.ca/kitchener/28138757

on a related note, I went for a swim last week in lake wilcox and the water was just terrible. The bottom was this thick goopy quicksand material and there were almost no weeds. I remember just a few yrs ago how there was healthy weed growth in that lake. I honestly don't think many fish can survive in the lake anymore. I saw a couple trolling the lake for hours without catching anything

are there any particular good spots for shore fishing the harbour? I've never gone and would love to take my girlfriend (she just caught her first fish yesterday)

this was your fishing guide? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Castellano

funny thing about Balsam is that I caught my first and only Musky ever there this year....... funny thing is I was fishing with a bobber and worm next to the cottage dock lol

ahh yes, the good old carp.... I've caught some monster 30lb carps in that area over the years. how plenty are the bass and smaller fish in that bay at this time of the yr. Making sure she catches something is more important than size.

so Im going to the zoo with the girlfriend for the day tomorrow and wanted to take her fishing for the first time at frenchman's bay down the road. can someone tell me what type of fish I should be targeting at this time of the year from shore? I was thinking of just setting her up with a bobber and live worms

i was thinking of using a trailer hook because I use them on my spinner baits for bass.... where I've noticed about 40% of my bass are hooked on the trailer hook

yea I think ill buy a couple new spinners and test out the best method

lol, I love how everyone has different advice..... put a twister on, put a twister and trailer on, put neither on

what do you guys think is more important when pike fishing with spinner baits.... adding a twister or adding a trailer hook ?

just got some new 20 PowerPro, it still comes with the strips of foam backing

I fish from a boat

the best spot I've found is on the north east edge, caught many pike and bass there

Hey Dan, Ottawa is a great law school. I graduated from Osgoode myself this year.

I only have an inflatable paddle boat I use to fish small lakes I think Ill give that spot a try next time. I've caught a 25lb+ Carp just down the road so I know they're definitely in that area

from the looks of this it seems to be Carp heaven you think there will still be great success from shore?

I see what you guys are talking about has anyone fished off the non fenced portion of Waterfront Trail?

Can someone tell me whether this spot (red line) is accessible for shore fishing ? thanks

yep there's lots of carp in Wilcox. You can see nice 20lbs feeding by the public dock in the morning. I've also gone there quite a bit for pike and bass, though last year was just terrible. Thinking of going there for some pan fish soon

that is a fishing conservation zone. I use to hope the fence with my friends when I was a kid many yrs back to go fishing there but then stopped after the MNR officer found us one sunny day. I was great fishing though. A pike every couple casts if I can remember
