  1. G'day Everyone,

     

    Just a quick one - Anyone know what happened to the Bait & Tackle shop that was at the corner of HWY 89 and HWY 11?

     

    I've searched online, and found that they're closed? Just wondering if anyone else has any updated information? I'm hoping they've either re-located or are still at that location?

     

    Here's that link I found...

    Thanks all and tight lines!

  2. Hey Folks!

     

    Hope everyone is doing well and catching plenty of fish! Been awhile since I posted on here...Anyway...

     

    I'm planing on heading to Port Credit in the coming days - question, has anyone been down there yet?

    Just wondering if the fish are stacking up prepping to head up river or is it still too early?...I don't expect any "hot spots" (I frequent

    the place myself - or at least I used to, back when I lived in Mississauga).

     

    PS: I'll be fishing from shore.

     

    Thanks in Advance,

  3. Hello,

     

    So, lately I've been thinking about changing careers. Currently, I am in the I.T field and im finding it very mundane. I've been thinking of getting my DZ Licence.

     

    Now, having said that - I'm pretty sure there are a few truckers on this forum that could chime in.

     

    I am looking to take my DZ Licence (Currently I only have a G). Here are my questions...

     

     

    1) Are there any prior qualifications to take/go for a DZ Licence?

     

    2) I am looking to take a course (the shorter & cheaper - the better) - ANY RECOMMENDATIONS? My only real requirement here is that its close to Alliston, ON.

     

     

    Trust me when I tell you this - I have NO KNOWLEDGE of DZ Licence - so, I apologize if these questions sound dumb!

     

     

    Thanks Fella Addicts for yer Help!

  4. Hello Fellow Addicts,

     

    I am expected to head up there again in Aug. - Last time I was there, I remember seeing LOTS OF ACTIVE CRAYFISH (evening) appearing from under the rocks @ Cyprus Lake (White/Greyish in colour). I will certainly be giving a hand at trying to replicate Crayfish... and maybe even take along some inline spinners, and perch like baits.

     

    Question:

     

    Are there any special regulations I should be aware about in terms of fishing @ Cyprus Lake? (ie: Fish Limits etc? baits? etc..)?

  5. Hi Fella-Addicts!

     

    I haven't been around to the area yet - but does anyone know if the marina ice has melted? I'm planning to head

    down April 8th... just checking if anyone has passed by to see what the ice-status is on the Marina...

     

    Thanks in Advance,

  6. Hi Everyone,

     

    About 2yrs ago, I became father for the 1st time - BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD. Anyway, I've always been an avid fisherman (even well before I got married) ... Now that I have a 2yr old daughter - I'm curious on how some parents out there go about intoducing 'harvesting' of fish to their toddlers?

     

    I'm loving the idea of introducing Fishing to my Daughter - I just don't know how to go about this - I mean....its a lot to think about... How do you go about it??

     

    Any help I can get from all the parents out there would be greatly appreciated,

     

    Thanks in Advance,

    A2F

     

  7. Hi Fellow Addicts,

     

    I am planning on hitting Tottenham Pond this Friday (11/22/2013) - Just looking @ places to park....I noticed there's a little "U-Shaped" lot (Industrial and 4 Line) - Am I able to park there? I am looking through Google Maps and I've noticed there's a sign there - but based on what I can see - it doesn't look like a "no-parking" sign? I'm not sure.

     

    Google Map these Coordinates:

    44° 1.310', -79° 48.517'

     

    Also.....Would anyone care to join as well? I'll more than likely be all day @ this...depending on situation.

    (Grandfather is in hospital care (Palliative Care) - trying to get my mind off things for awhile)

     

    Thanks All,

  8. Hey Folks,

     

    I've never been to BOQ... EVER!! I will be joining my friend heading up to his Cottage.

    Just wondering what I can expect to catch up there at this time of year? Whats biting?

    What tackle should I take? Lures? Any information would be much appreciated...

     

    If it helps, specifically we'll be in the PICTON area.

     

    Thanks in Advance,

  9. Hi Folks,

     

    I'm heading to Port Maitland tomorrow - was just curious on what type of fish can be caught there

    this time of year? what baits work best? I know from last time, people were catching A LOT of DRUMS...

    Any other species found in the area?

     

    Any input will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks All!

  10. I always understood that you weren't allowed to fish from a boat, just shore, in this place but I went for a dip a couple of days ago (turquoise water on a hot day) and saw some dude fishing from a bass hunter. I called next day and sure enough you can now fish from boat but only you're own non motorized. You can't fish from one of their rentals.

     

    BUT, you have to launch from their boathouse for 5 something and it's 10-7 everyday. They give you a flag and when 7pm comes they bring you all in. They have a motorized boat to come get you if you're late. And you're not even allowed to launch a dingy from the park on the opposite side. Not even the residents whose backyards are on the water are allowed to launch without notifying the rec centre.

     

    Just outta curiosity, where did you get this information? God, sounds like such a money grab for the Rec. Centre!!

  11. Thanks for the read FishGreg.

     

    I also am comparing the Ci4 with the Patriarch - and I'm leaning towards the Patriarch for the spare spool, $20 cheaper price and lighter weight.I haven't quite figured out a nice Medium Action rod to match with the Patriarch though - but I like the idea of the Avid.

     

    I'll get back to you in a couple weeks when I decide on the purchase and its 1st "Test-Drive" :)

     

    Thanks for the read Bud!

  12. Hey Folks,

     

    I am going to be heading up to Tobermory for a week for some Camping and Fishing (near Cyprus Lake).

    I was just wondering if anyone else knew of any other shore fishing spots in the area?

     

    The only spot I know of right now is the "dock"ish kind of area by Bay St. (See Link) right in Tobermory.

    Does anyone else know of other places I could try? I'm not looking for any "Secret" spots

    or anything - just a spot I can fish off of from shore. I don't have access to a Canoe/boat.

     

    Send me a PM if you wish.

     

    Thank you in Advance,

    Rob (A2F)
