  1. I like this spot as well; however, this year I have had no chance to visit it. Maybe in 2-3 weeks when rainbows come from Erie in the rapid portion. I even have the same U-Light setup with 4cm yozuris and also Salmo Hornets which work even better. http://www.salmo.com.pl/en/hornet/ Hvala vam na vasem filmu
  2. Great fishing on Grand! When did it happened – this year?
  3. The best time to fish there is in the middle of September when the 70% of water from the reservoir is gonna be drained into Grand river. You do not even need a boat at that time. SM basses and pikes will attack your lures like crazy. You can see that on the lureme’s pictures (2nd and 3rd).
  4. Thx p4rp! I couldn't even find printed regulation in English ( in tackle stores Chinese only ?? ). That's great job!
  5. For a last couple of months have you given your key and clicker to someone? If yes. Do you really trust him? That's the easiest way to make a duplicate of your key, chip and clicker and use them or to sell them to requester. I mean some mechanics including Canadian Tire, Act Green & Ross etc,
  6. Yes, they did. I was there as well. Maybe 12M creek data helps. https://wateroffice.ec.gc.ca/report/real_time_e.html?mode=Graph&type=&stn=02HA031&startDate=2017-09-04&endDate=2017-12-04&prm1=46&y1Max=&y1Min=&prm2=47&y2Max=&y2Min=
  7. I fish from the railway embankment in the bigger portion of the lake. However, it’s prohibited. I think now, when Mountsberg is drained, you cannot find some deep enough spots for casting spoons or minnows. Unless you use heavy silicon baits on the offset hooks without waits.
  8. You may also tried lake Belwood, it's drained now and pikes concentrated in the remaining deep areas. 2 weeks ago I had some luck in the Northern part of the lake, just before the bridge. I used spoons and minnow jerkbaits.
  9. Rapala produces budget lures. What can you expect? Rapala’s lures are not Megabass, OSP, Jackall etc https://store.plus-fishing.com/en/product/fresh-water/fresh-water-lures/fresh-water-hard-baits/fresh-water-jerkbaits/results,25-24 You buy what you pay for. I like Rapala $12CAN are not 26€
  10. The caliper (good one) is around $150 X 2 = $300 http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/toyota,2013,4runner,4.0l+v6,1504997,brake+&+wheel+hub,caliper,1704 Labour around $300 Do not go to your mechanic anymore
  11. In Port Dalhousie I had god luck with medium or large size hammered Little Cleos - chrome with blue or green stripes. In windy days I use chrome Kastmasters or their clones. Using spoons is not easy way to get a brown there but it more professional way of fishing. All novice anglers there use bottom row-bag or strimmer bottom bouncing techniques.
  12. Not so many walleyes there; however, pike fishing is good on the opener. The best place – close to Percy Boom Haven, just around a Heron Island (big willow tree with heron nests) . For Walleyes you would rather go to lake St. John (Casino Rama)
  13. Good luck! But I think without exact locations (GSP coordinates) the success will be minimal, especially now on Rice. Junk buckets are everywhere on the Rice or Scugog, but not pickerels.
  14. If you detach the hook(s) from the lure you perform blank fishing. Means no damage to fish at all, but if you use very thin braded fishing line you will feel when the fish attacking your lure.
  15. You have to read carefully. As I said I used blanks and MNR was beside me and approved that way of fishing
  16. I was there on Easter. I removed an anchor from the spoon and cast for 3 hrs. I had only one hit. There was a huge winter kill in the bough lakes. The small Bird Lake was full of dead fish (mostly bass like) and smelled like sewage. Last Saturday I visited Puslinch Lake; I saw dead fish along the shore line. If the same happened with Little Lake in Orangeville we got a huge pike and bass loss in the closest to Toronto the most productive lakes/ponds.
  17. I use Frenwick spinning rod and Pflueger 6925 reel with 6lb Cajun mono line. http://www.fenwickfishing.com/prod.php?k=309807&sk=309807&p=PUREGTS%2056UL-2%20%20%281160879%29#EGTS%2056UL-2%20%20%281160879%29 http://www.basspro.com/Pflueger-President-6900-Series-Spinning-Reels/product/10213341/ Do not be cheap on Ultralight. You can save money on muskie/pike rod but not on this one. Using that rod I got a carp in 11lb; it got my jig when I was fishing for bass. I also got a pickerel around 4.5lb and 5lb pike. Basses in 2 – 3.4lb are very common as well when you are targeting some smaller species.
  18. Very much the same observation as you did, oates. I usually fish between Caledonia and York using jigs with lightest heads and cranks. The beginning of the year (Walleye opener) was OK, after that just ugly pigs (cats) and nothing else. In the middle of the summer when the heat came there was nothing just may be a couple of rock basses. However, 3 weeks ago the situation was changed - almost the same as in 2008, but without walleyes. I always took a limit releasing the smallest one from the chain when a small mouth got my jig. Eventually, the smallest one on the chain was about 700g (almost 2lb) and the biggest 1.5kg. 2 weeks ago a rainbow around 4-5lb hit the crank, but I couldn’t manage it with my U-light rod and 4lb line. When the cold came, everything has gone. I am not counting on steelheads because for crank and meps they are not common at all there. Fishing using roe is not sporty for me at all. Today I saw a Chinese guy who always fishing at Dunnville dump. He got pickerels as usual. I have never seen he got none. However, nobody got something to put on the chain – just him. I looked at his wrist – really nice work jigging for walleyes.
  19. The water level in the GR is too high now. Use this site to monitor the level. http://www.grandriver.ca/index/document.cfm?sec=2&sub1=6&sub2=5 When the level in York drops to 50 - go there. Other than that almost useless, you will be fishing in the muddy and fast water. I usually go there at the end of May. Always use that site for planning your fishing trip.
  20. True There are plenty of Count Downs everywhere. Just search http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_npmv=3&_trksid=m570&_nkw=Rapala+Countdowns
  21. I think salmon fishing is not even fishing at all – snagging in all situations. Salmon is not feeding when it goes into home rivers for spawning. I hope MNR will stop that! Even in Ontario, during the summer time, on the big boat is not a challenge to take out of the water a huge pig using heavy equipment. Drink and watch – girls can do that! The real challenge is to take out on the shore a 8–10 pound pike or muskie using ultra light road with 4 lb line without any boat and landing net.
  22. I don't target any specific kind of fish. Sometimes I take a fishing rod and come to the pond, take a worm and put it in the water and look at the floater. How can I determine that bass or trout or pike is taking my worm (usually sunfish)? Can you explain that?
