But if a creek or river is a border between two zones, which rules apply to the river?

 

Are there different rules for each side of the river? What if you are physically on one side of the river but your bait is on the other side?

Then the river will fall in one one or another, not both, call the mnr to find which one the river falls into.

Lake Fork...............

or did you want to stay local

piston or gears is my guess

Gbay out of Wiarton, or Lake huron, around Oliphant area. my fav, not to mention the fantastic swimming and small mouth bass fishing there is there, and you can't beat a lake huron sunset.

heres a pic from the islands there

Thanks everyone, 2 years ago we found a nice school of 10-15lbers just out of whitby harbour around the white bouy markers. hoping we find something like that again and may be something large.

I can get a general idea of where the boats are fishing, doesn't give me an idea of how deep riggers are set, or what combinations or working

If all else fails hit the bluezone with lures anywhere from 20>45ft down. Shouldn't have an issue catching coho or steelhead. Bright patterns, orange, etc.

Talking the first 50ft of water, or moving to shallower waters?

Ok, will keep that in my notes as well, will be going out on the long weekend. will hopefully be a good time

Thanks Gallie, I don't think there'd be a whole lot of difference

Well, with my Dad coming up from Sarnia for our annual salmon trip on Lake Ontario, I'm looking for some hints on depths the fish are sitting, not looking for a specific locations, rather what zone to target. I do not own a boat, I only get out on the lake once or twice a year, when my Dad brings his boat up. After our skunk last year, I'd like to try and prevent that this year. We will fishing out of Whitby.

What are some go to colours, and depths people are fishing?

To get valuable information like most. Sarcasm is one thing...but many posts go beyond that. Are you saying that if I dont want sarcasm then why be here?

 

I may not be at the status of Lew, Roy, etc, but I have been here long enough to voice a frustration and long enough to point out that some members may refrain from posting due to the sarcasm.

 

There is a fine line between being helpful / funny and being an my father

Well for instance when you ask a question like you did, that can possibly have a sacarstic or semi sarcastic response, ie: bring less rods, why get your panties in a bunch about it, shrug it off as sarcasm and let it go

Fishing cures all ailments! get out there and enjoy the day in your boat!

Yes, 'voluntold' to get the house and yard cleaned up for my dads visit in 2 weeks. need the brownie points for the 2 days of fishing lake o that are coming!

but back on topic, its no different here, than it is in the work place or with a group of friends when you ask a question and you get smart@ss sarcastic comment back. if you can't take the humour in it, why are you here? All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

depending on how big you want to go, a new 5th wheel will run 40-80k, plus the cost of the truck to haul it with, and a half ton is not recommended for 5th wheels

If it were me, I'd go with a motorhome, tow your current vehical behind it, park it where ever you want to sleep that night. Yes, the cost will be higher to buy the motorhome.

Motorhomes are easier to sell than 5th wheel trailers, guy down the street from has had his up for sale for 3 years, very few people own a truck to tow a 5th wheel with, let alone those who have a 5th wheel hitch.

Got tickets this afternoon for Saturday Nights semifinal baseball game, $20 each, can't wait! have no idea whos playing in it yet

ASUS all the way

My dad is making the trip up from Sarnia on the long weekend, hopefully plenty of fish to be had by then

There are reports of Blue/Green Algae along the shores so just be cautious

And here I was expecting to see a picture of skunk in the lake!

Tough luck with the east winds though! That old saying holds true, east is least, west is best

Also, worse that can happen with the Diawa, I don't like the way it feels on the panfish, I give it to my daughter and pick up the Fenwick

Nice, I have a fish hunter as well. Couldn't tell you the model number but it seats 2 and has slats on the floor so I can stand up and wooden benches. Great for small lakes with an electric. I feel like I'll fall out of the boat before I'd tip it over too. great for pursuing panfish like it sounds like you will be with your new ultra-light. Good luck!

Not just for panfish. Theres some beauty pike spots around here, also for river mouths that are tucked into harbours, theres a few, great for salmon and steelhead.

theres also a couple of area that will boats, but only electric motors or paddles, no gas engines even if they aren;t running, great pike, bass and carp spots

Went into Gagnons, felt they were a little over priced on their rods, so hopped over to Sail. Put all the ultra light rods i could and lined them up, put each one in my hand and picked the one that felt best, and that was the diawa. its rated for 1-4lb and 3/32oz-1/8oz

Picked up a Daiwa Tri-Force UL, a Daiwa Laguna 2000 reel and 4lb Trilene.

I had the Fenwick in my hands, and didn't quite like the way the grip felt in my hands.

For $93 got the whole outfit. Maybe try it out tonight in Whitby Harbour

Also picked up a power inverter for the truck so I can plug my shop-vac into it to blow up my inflatable boat. got a Fish Hunter 260 by Sevylor

I've driven in the city a lot during the games. If you are off peak it is ok. Also driven a few times with the family. The HOV lanes were great. If you have to drive through the city the 407 is always an option.

yea, it would be mid day, and on a Sunday or Monday

I think there is an ultralight St croix avid for sale in the classified at 120. Fantastic rods.

I see that! great rod, but is it worth going into downtown toronto during the pan am games chaos for? i dunno. could be a 4 or 5 hour drive with traffic backups cause of the stupid HoV lanes

going to pop into Sail today and see what they have

Glad you're doing better! Gotta be wasps for sure, honey bees would not attack like that. Get em all, glad it was an adult that found them, would be a much worse story if that was a young kid.
