NAC

I'm partial to Shimano Telora's for using divers. Reasonably priced as well.

looks like a great evening for the guys! nice healthy specimens. hopefully you'll get another shot at them this year.

thanks for the help.

I've never fished it yet, but want to put in a 16' kayak next weekend. I'd like to target bass for sure any other species would be a bonus. Just some basic direction of where to head to on the lake is all. I'll be in Port Perry for the weekend , 2 blocks off the lake at the in-laws. Thanks.

killer trip for sure!! nice that you were able to get the whole family into it too.

21-1/2" is impressive for sure! We'll be fishing near the mouth soon and then I'll start measuring. They get real big moving in/out lake to river and there's nice largies there too. I never remember the OFC sign.

It's a Pungo 120. Stick with SOT's or you'll wish after that you had... just my opinion. Wink(guy in pics) is going for a sit-on top now. Biggest thing is to look at them all before you decide.

I quit fishing for 4/5 years after being hard-core for about 15 yrs. I got back into it after buying my first kayak 6yrs ago and I find it takes away all my stress after about an hour of being on the water.

Got out with Wink for a few hours on Sunday. Here he is with a couple. Nothing huge, but lots of em! will be back at it this weekend.

We ended up putting in at Freeport and fished between there and the weir. We caught a few dozen fish under 14" but not too much with any size. When the sun went off the water the fish became quite acrobatic!! It was a real nice night for a paddle, too bad rowing club thought so as well. The water was fairly dirty and gold spinners were the real trick to getting them last night. Caught a few on Senkos and bungee worms as well. I think the stretch you fellas ran would have been better. We're gonna do a run from Victoria St to Paris in the near future if you're interested? or something to that affect. With the price of gas, I'll be doing a whole lot more local fishing in the near future!

Jedi, I was wondering if you could tell me if there is a take-out near the College/Blair road? We didn't get out last night but are going to try tonight. Thanks

I'm gonna be out doing the same thing in the same place tonight Jedi. nice pics BTW! Hoping for more of those 18"ers to make a report on! also, for premium rigged fishing kayaks to use on the grand, NAC .

trophy brown trout fishery right there on the Grand near Fergus. catch and release - barbless only check out Troutfitters in Fergus for lots of good info. excellent for fly fishing!

check out Kashaga Lodge between Minden and Haliburton. ask for Ken and tell him the kayak fishing guy told ya! Good Luck!

thanks for the correction MM! I guess it's been a while since I purchased mine. Vista Cx in '05 $400 now $240ish for the Vista HCx Garmin is by far the leader in gps technology. http://www.gpscity.ca/aboutus/contactus - Calgary

GPS city - mississauga and calgary nice Ram mounts for them as well.

Would it be too much paddling to fish there in a kayak? any suggestions as to where to put in near Gan? I'm more into pike and walleye, but not opposed to bass. I'll be to the outlaws in Lansdowne next weekend and am looking for excuses to disappear for extended periods of time. thanks in advance!

sweet fish Jedi! I've lived in K-W area since '95 and never fished Puslinch because I thought it was all hammerhandles and crappie?!

I use snubbers with braid but not mono when running dipsey's, like fishnsled said. But with the new Tordpedo Divers, I just run a mono leader because you don't fight the diver nearly as much.

great post! If that doesn't inspire you to get outside and do something, then nothing will!!

great stuff! Warning!! once you start catching fish from the yak, it can become quite addictive! about the transducer; they will shoot thru the hull no problem and you won't have to worry about it getting hung up on anything. there's lots of rigging ideas on Yakfisher.net and CanadianKayakAnglers.com - they are both Canadian sites and one is for Ontario. Keep those reports coming!

I was there on the lake for the opening weekend and there was quite a bit of traffic on the water.... and no pike between two of us. We saw more fish caught from shore than anywhere we paddled in the 5hrs spent there.

very nice! from a kayak next year you say?!!

can they skate? might be some competition for the Ontario NHL teams! I love the idea but dislike the price more. The International Bowl has been successful in TO recently, but at a fraction of the cost. I personally think it'll do well at a few games but unless the ticket price is under $80cdn, it'll never fly for any extended period of time. GO CHIEFS!!!!

I heard of them coming out of Quinte more often than anywhere... and fairly large too! there was a study done not that long ago but I can't remember where I read it?? anyone else? seems to me they were more common years ago.
