I'm gonna be heading to Timmins soon for a couple days (work) and I'll have my rod with me. I probably won't bring my Sportspal with me, though. I'm curious if anyone knows any good places to go off the shore there? I'm mostly looking for bass, walleye, pike, trout, whatever can be had from shore - not too picky. Not a catfish fan, though.

 

One thing I know: under the bridge might not be a great idea. My brother went not long ago, and he landed the following with 10lb test:

 

 

 

That last one weighed in at about 43lbs! Not too shabby.

 

Anyhow, suggestions?

Wow buddy you have just accomplished a very rare feat. You are now a master. All you have left is to catch a grandslam of bill fish. IMPRESSIVE

Mike, i've noticed that your reports are becoming seasonal..................hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm. Gotta love that word play, had to check Speil's link before i started banging my head on the wall. Should ov figured you'd put that in.

Nice catchin

I agree with you BillM but that would mean no possession limit (which im fine with) and alot of work would have to be done on the watersheds to improve them.

ITS ABOUT TIME.........They should do one better and have no possession limit, all c&r. Also they should start stocking the watersheds too. Go the same route as the states. Their rivers boast great numbers of bows and maybe add a few co's to the mix as well

WOW they were almost candidates for the charles darwin award.

Looks like you had a good time Mike. Nice fish for such a hot week. As far as the shed goes buy her a fashionable set of polars and the shed won't look so orange anymore

Hey the members, any help would be great.

 

I dont do alot of posting but, I do read these forums each day. Alot of very good post. Thanks for them.

 

I am heading up to Port Loring and Arnstein in a couple of weeks for fishing. It is my friends families hunting cabin. There is 12 of us going and none of us have fished the area. Can anyone please give me some insight on the fishing up there in this area. We are not right on water, but we are less then 1 mile to it.

 

What catching? (Weekend of 29th)

What bait?

Trolling?

Drifting?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

There is bass walleye pike and lakers, maybe a muskie to be had along the way. Bass is closed until late june so just the rest are open. Clear lake in Arnstein and wilson lake offer good oppertunities as well as french river.

good luck

I may have to give that a try. I appreciate the info.

 

I'm thinkin about brining my canoe up, with the electric troller. I only have sat evening, and sunday morning to fish, so I want to spend it wisely.

 

Is there a few spots to launch a canoe on porcupine lake?

yes there are. One in Porcupine on martin street and one in south porcupine right by the airport hotel and bar, bruce street if i remember. Nighthawk is a good bet, but it is a big shallow system so if there is bad weather and your in a canoe, your in trouble. Google those streets and you'll find launches at the end of them.

Hi there: I was born and raised in timmins and they are kinda right about mattag. It Runs through the uptown portion of timmins on highway 101. You can fish there but i have never seen people catch alot of walleye there. If you want a good shore spot, fish anywhere you can find land on porcupine lake in porcupine (burb of timmins). Tons of big hungry walleye in there, but there is a slot. Night fishing is good as well as morning.

good luck

Man you guys had a good time. It seems like the fish in the south are running strong and everything around here has pushed way up river to the spawing beds. Between you guys and aaron shirley's post there are no steel left in the rivers that haven't seen a hook.

HAHAH! I be hatin sucka mcs... [edit].. My style is kinda phat, reminiscent of a whale..

 

Them dodgy red hooks is perfect for violatin suckers!!

 

Good day with ya brah.

 

cheers

I was wondering why im not geting so many up river from there............ya punks are steelin my fish. pun intended

good work!!! I'm still working on my first steel of 2010. Less than a month of school left

Keep tryin.............. there is a resident spawner waiting with your name on it, not to much else are in the rivers so far.

Impressive to say the least Mike, glad to see you teach an old dog new tricks. Wish i could say the same for my mom. She was the one who put me on to fishing and i never had a chance to get her out pinning. Nice job

Got out on friday and went 3-4 with a sucker. Here is the beat up war veteran that took me for a ride. For all of yous' that might complain he was back in the water before the shutter closed. I guess its time to wait for the run.

good fishin everyone

I have to agree with kickin frog and bushart and others, the only music worth listening to is nature. Its not always the best ie fishing downtown t.o., but usually it is really good

Tight lines all

Mike those locations should be crammed with people, i haven't seen it looking that good even the times i was there. Beautiful scenery and fish, makes our tribs look crappy.

good fishin

Low water level here on Nipissing is giving me a good opportunity to do some shore clean-up. Mostly I'm walking in water no more than 2" deep --- finding lots of dead frogs and crayfish --- the seagulls and the crows are cleaning them up.

 

I came across a little creature that I thought at first was a minnow trapped in shallow water. Looking more closely I thought it was a salamander. Anyway, I picked it up and put it in a container until I was finished my chores. It was then I noticed that the critter had gills.

 

I spent some time looking it up, and turns out it's a 1 year old mud puppy. It's about 8 cm long, 4 legs, external gills and a tail like an eel for swimming.

 

My little grand-daughter loves insects and creatures, so this "baby dragon" is inhabiting a goldfish bowl for a few days until we release him back into the big cruel world to do whatever mud puppies do.

 

Hey jocko this is an aquatic salamander that never matures into the land form or newt. Not that common around northern ontario but seemingly nippising has a decent population, just like the odd chinook that comes out of there.

happy froggin

Budday... nice fish!

found in a local trib only known to u and i. You'll have to check it after work on a regular basis

For me? I sold the Lami to Fidel so all the mojo is his now.

 

Nice fishy.

no man the magic ain't his when we go fishing, its must of transferred to your new stick. we'll all have to plan a trip to clear this up for once and for all.

Mike this notes for you. This was the only fish in the system, im pretty sure the rest are headed out your way attracted by the magic of the lamiglass

Mike im not to sure how you do it but you are a steelhead magnet. They must leave every other river and gravitate to you when you go fishing, because my rivers arn't coughin up anything. Good first spring post

Anywhere you can find water you can find bass.........and gators. Bring one of those telescopic fishing rods and some spinners/buzz baits, plastic and some cranks and you'll be set.

Zeppelin, guess who, floyd, and various others, but zeppelin has the best crusin tunes in my opinion

I agree mike. I had it when it first came out as a promo with a cup of bought coffee and it was great, convient to bring along anywhere. Now if it only increased fish catching properties.....................
