Wow, i didn't know that... What about other side: Patterson and around Mowai Island? Are they open for fishing? Is there any fish there?

Hi Guys, I found some discussion on the topic at the forum but all were about fishing in Killbear off a shore. I am going camping there in a week time and considering taking my boat. I've never fished in that area but according to Navionics depth charts, there might be some good spots for smallies. Anyone tried that area for bass? Any tips/spots? Much appreciated! Audio_mad

Thanks Guys for all the tips! I hope to get as many potential lakes as possible in that area beacuse if I buy something and it's dead fishing wise I am cooked... Thanks a million again for all the replies!

What about Bernard lake? Mixed reviews on that one

Price is secondary at this stage and I can go up to 4 hours from North Toronto. Actually, some of the lakes you mentioned I know pretty well (Ahmic and Ceecebe) - they are of 524. I never heard about Eagle lake. Is it any good? That's more or less the area I am looking.

Hey Guys, My wife really got into the idea of buying land or some cheap cottage up North on Hwy 11. I said, I would only buy on a lake with decent fishing. Since I've never fished in that area before(except for Algonquin park), I desperately need your advise on which lakes give good bass fishing perspective around there. Please HELP!!! Thanks in advance,

We were fishing at Cook's Bay yesterday and tried some docks. All of a sudden an owner of a dock showed up and threatened to call the cops if we don't disappear within 2 minutes, the guy was super aggressive and claimed we need not to get closer that 300ft to his dock because 300ft of water in Simcoe (straight from his dock) is his private property indicated in his survey. As far as I know water is public, he begged to differ. Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a private water??? On a separate note, we were not even casting under his dock, just working the weeds about 12-15 feet from his dock.....

Just wanted to share my experience of fishing with Paul at Fort Erie this week. On a rough day when we thought it's gonna be a nightmare of fishing Paul was able to find some good spots and we never left disappointed. In just 4 hours on a water we were able to catch some good size bass and good eating size as well. In total we got 8 bass among 2 of us, ranging from 2- 4.10 pounds (most of them were close to 4). I can't imagine what could have caught had we had better conditions. Anyone who wants to go for a sure catch, I'd recommend Paul as a guide and you'd enjoy a company of a great guy too. Thanks Paul!

Thanks a lot Guys, I'd rather fish for large than smallmouth and will definitely try Beaver and Crawford. Also will try the "depth" gear for walleye. I'll let you guys know when I am back from there.

Thanks CCMT, I read the report - it's great! I do have the equipment for 60-80' and a boat to get to any spot on the lake. You mentioned a spot with large fish (but big depth). Can you be a little more specific about the spot - I will give it a shot. Thanks again,

I'm going to spend a week at Ahmic lake and wonder if somebody could help with some useful info and tips on what techniques, baits, and gears work there. The lake supposedly is pretty good fishing wise, I am not sure though which spots are productive. Thanks in advance,

I live in Richmond Hill. And I have tried spoonpullers - they're real good but I'd love to see it in action to have a feel. Thanks again,

I've never tried a deepwater fishing with riggers and now having a new boat I'd like to get into this thing. But before I start buying stuff, I'd love to learn about the equipment and techniques. I saw plenty of ads about trainings in the US but nothing here in Canada. Does anyone know if those courses exist? Or may be some experienced guys would give me a private lesson (with pay) on the water (on the proper equipment, techniques and so on... all about salmon, trout riggers fishing). If some of you would be interested - please drop me a message). Thanks,

My Goodness, You really filled me up with info here. I got now the main idea with dipseys and different set ups. I guess it's going to take time to master those things but I will definitely try and hope for best... Thanks again, Mad

Thanks to everyone!!! I get the idea now, although I still don't get a couple of points: dipseys of Luhr-Jensen go max 50' according to their website - how do you get to 75-80' then? Also I checked in LeBaron today, those dipseys don't come with charts - where do you find the charts? What kind og dipsey rods would you guys recommend to start with? Lots of stupid questions, I guess... I am just so eager to start using them - trying to learn every little detail now. Thanks a million again, Mad

I have all kinds of rods - should not be a problem (and I really like long ones - that's a bonus). My reels are all Shimano/Daiwa types that I use for up to 20-25 feet depth. I don't know, may be they're good for more deep trolling as well. What are those "trolling reels". How are the different form casting reels? Thanks,

Last week-end I spent on Erie and tried to troll for walleye. Not only the lake was very rough that made it tough but I also learned that there is a very efficient way of trolling at large depth - using dipsey/jet divers. I've never fished at those depths and struggled quite a bit with my usual smaller depths gear (bottom bouncers) especially in this terrible weather. I understand that dipseys and jet would do a better job. My question is if I could use 30 feet dipseys/jets with my usual gear set-up (long medium action rodes, usual walleye fishing reels and 6-8 test lines) or I need to buy absolutely everything to use dipseys: new rods, new special reels, steel lines. Please educate a newbie.... Thanks in advance, Mad

That's sounds good Daniel, although not cheap. How long you think it's gonna last you think? If more than 5 years - it's worth the investment.

John, $400 was a cover with straps, right? Was it the clips thing that brought the price up so stiff (to $1000), or is it just the price gap between us the States is so steep? I have an excellent cover (original LUND one) but those straps are starting to get to me... How much did you pay Daniel? Thanks a lot for sharing these guys. Cheers, Mad

Great question about a mooring cover. I am in Richmond Hill and also looking for a good custom made mooring cover for my LUND (with clips, not down straps). BTW, John, the links are not working. It'd be great if someone who had had a cover made lately would help here. Thanks,

Last week fishing was relatively good. I went out several times and it was decent. This week the weather is up and down again, thunderstorms are back. I wonder what fish is doing. Have anyone gone out? If yes, how is it going during those up and down days. I am planning to go on Sat and Sun but not sure if it's worth it....

That's exactly what I needed - a sporttrak bracket. Could not find it - hope the links you gave will help. Thanks a lot!

I have a problem to find rod holder mounts that work well with LUND pro-track system. Although the system is great (according to LUND) I find it hard to fit anything that works fine there. Does anyone know what mounts/adapters might work with that unique rail system? Thanks in advance,

Thanks a lot for your replies and tips guys!!! You're the best!!! I am looking forward to the trip there although it looks like I have to be careful with my new LUND there. Don't want to pedal all the way to LUND dealership after the trip

I heard some great stuff about fishing on Fourmile lake. I wonder where to start when I get there. Any tips??? Particular hot spots, baits? Thanks a million
