I was there on sun between 10-2. Got a hit or 2, but nothing land among about 10 ppl on both sides of the pier....

I must be a super sucky bass angler since I dont even remember I ever caught a bass when I fish at bay front in hamilton. Basically if I target only bass that day, I have a 99% chance to get skunked...

hhahahahahaha

nice one!!!

Sorry to hear that. If I have a car or can catch a ride to the event next time, I'll never miss an event like this!

Wow, amazing pics! I hope there is a trib like that in my local area (well, who doesnt? lol)

too bad the water level is super low now in the creek. otherwise i think we'll have a better run of fish there...

pulled a couple of steelies out of there last spring, that creek is just timing, valley inn has good runs of salmon and, steelies aswell, exspecially after iceout for steelies can be real fun.

, also bayfront park at the boat launch has some too aswell, salmon should be there now, the browns should be in their in a couple of weeks aswell cheers.

Wow. thanks for the info. Now i know i can try salmon without the need to go so far.

So i just wonder, what kinda bait you use for salmon by the boat launch? roe bags? cuz i dont think casting spoon is a good idea due to all the weed there. Am i right?

By the way, you mind telling me which part in the creek can you catch steelies? I always arrive the creek by the princess point park. Is it close to there?

Thanks a million in advance!

I thought the crap gate will prohibit any salmon/trout run to the creek completely now?!

I still fish there from time to time, but like you guys said, after the fire, the bites are super slow...

For now, you will be lucky to even get channel cats in there...

After much thought ~ 2 secs I have come up with a location.......Drum roll please!

See you next Thursday at 8

Oh, i dont have a car...and bus ride that far is no fun in hammy...

Quick poll - what night is best for a get-together?

For me Thursday

I think where is the bigger question...Hammy is not small...

I'll second that!

I second "second that"!

I am from hamilton too, and i only know shore fishing at pier 4 and the lift bridge (i dont think they are secret spots at all, since i see lots of ppl fish there...)

Can you PM your list to me please? I'd like to try some place new for bass, pike, and even trout if i get lucky.

PS. I dont have a boat...

Thanks a million in advance!

i'll probably go for salmon. just not sure where, since bronte is tooooooo crowded

but even if we call to complain there is a lot of ppl fishing on the pier. What can they do? they cant get those ppl away as long as they have license to fish, right?

Congrat man! It's a beauty!!

Now i just wish I have a boat....

Yes it is discusting what kinda stuff happens down their. We seen a bunch of guys snagging fish at smalls rapids and as we came they stopped moved away but their was already around 10 fish laying on the banks with their belly's slit. Then when we were leaving we went back to the rapids and their was over 20 fish laying their. Was going to take a picture but my battery died. I think Petro Park should be closed down for fishing when it comes to salmon season!!!!!!!

Wow, i never witness any snagging myself, but from all the stories i heard from this board i already feel disgusted...

Man, if they continue doing that, will we still have salmon to fish in the area??

Henry Ko...

 

Since you are from Hamilton...

 

Why not try out

 

Port Dalhousie... I've heard it's a quality place to fish.

Thanks for the tip man. Maybe I'll try it out next time i fish!!

reminds me why I have not bothered to go down there

Can you tell me what are other good salmon spots other then bronte? cause i really hate to fish other ppl's line instead salmon. I am from hamilton. Anyone know anywhere near hamilton i can do salmon fishing on a river?

Thanks a million!

I went to bronte pier last night hoping to catch a salmon or two. I arrived at around 11pm, and man oh man, there were sooooo many people at the pier. I was only expecting about like half a dozen people, but i think there are at least 40-50 people fishing on both sides of the pier!! So, at the end, instead of fishing for salmon, my fd and i just keep getting other people's lines. Casting spoons with so many people close to you by the pier is not fun man...

West hamilton! Since i go to Mac.

We are gonna have some good rain this week. This should bring more salmon into the river, and the big ones closer to the shore, I imagine!!!

I am still waiting for my first salmon...oh, how envy I was when I kept reading the reports....

Cheers!

wow, good to know it aint slowing down yet...i was so exciting when the rain came, but i didnt have time to go to bronte....

that's a beauty! i wish i can find some place that nice in Hamilton so that I can catch some salmon and trout here too..

is that hamilton harbor where you fish? I'd like to go salmon fishing locally in Hamilton too, but dont know any good spot...
