Got my PB on a musky buck 2 weeks ago..

"Up" here? I thought that was a norfolk county thing. "You catch and release idiots dont deserve to be on my water" that type of ridiculously stupid mentality.

I knew a guy who crafted his own centerpin from a clothesline wheel. It'll work!

Yes the growing season is several weeks longer on the east side of the niagara river

Have you seen the fishing across the great lakes? Doesnt seem to hurt em.

Lol. There really could easily be a c&r only season, during the spawn, and bass would be fine. They're littered, everywhere. Armchair pros everywhere are lucking into big bass all the time. Guess that could be proof the season works, too. I dunno. A week of extra bassin is cool too.

I have not done well since september with a nightcrawler on the line there. Last good day tipping jigs with dead minnows was the ticket. cast and reel.

I wouldn't touch the grand til it lowers. Wasted one day there this year during high water. Never again.

For the same reason : ratings Nothing to do with the ethics.

Oh. Lmao. Well. Guess that'll have to wait!

Selective harvest is often a very good thing for most waterbodies, it keeps populations in check and allows a larger population of trophy class fish, so i'd have to disagree. And im 95% c&r.

Do lakers do a migratory run with the steelies and browns? Anyone wish to devulge thru PM where one would go about trying to catch one? I never have, and would love to do so one of the days of my holiday next week. Thanks for any info!

What the heck is a gar doing in frigid steelhead water? And feeding? Very weird. Gar like very, very warm water.

The pike i fish for would not be interested in those tiny minnows

Pfleuger Supreme is worth serious $$$$

You can walk in any conservation area during off season.. i thought that was the rule?

Inferior to a pin, superior to spinning

I fished it in march once. Brought my aluminum in.. was quite a trek. We got a lotta small carp in one random area. Bullheads in some spots. Nothing else of interest.

Indeed, proper name is WGSF.

Mix a cup of water , half cup salt, cup of brown sugar in a bowl. Mix well . Leave eggs in solution for 4-7 hours in fridge. Drain, dry well, ziploc, re freeze. Good for 2 years , works like a charm.

Lol ive done it for pike, what a blast. Yah. Dont get it wet.

Depressing day of trib fishing today. Psyched for this rain, get to the river and it was lower than ever, and clear?! A few bites here and there but nothing would commit to anything. Helped an elderly gentleman land the biggest bow of his life, good thing o brought my net. Was quite a fish, over 10 and he very much appreciated my help to land and release his catch. Moved to a different trib afterward, bottom bouncing a roe bag and hooked a big brown, but lost him rather quickly. I think he may have been inadvertantly flossed though, judging by the way it hit (slow, solid weight). So we got soaked for nuttin but at least the net got wet.

Yah. Fishing location is like 5% of the puzzle of catching fish. Try learning cold weather techniques, instead of travelling to where it's easiest? I would stray no farther than the harbour in the fall if i still lived in hamilton. Its full of fish of all species.

Catch, fillet, release

My deepest condolensces. Rich
