nice fish! can you eat them in moderation out of lake ontario?

mepps black fury #1 orange dot. you can tip it with a worm too.

3 way rigs work good there..

I'm in my late teens, and back when I was 10 or 11 me and my friend used to go try to catch the bass OOS. If it hadent been for a man like yourself giving us some good constructive advice and telling us where to get the regs guide, we might still be doing it today so I think what you did was great and you approached it in a good way like you were trying to help them.

maybe port maitland has them?

could those holes be the work of a great blue heron?

thanks alot just one other question: does the loud drone of the outboard scare the fish as you pass over them? I really don't know im a total newbie and only caught 1 bass and a pike last year trying to troll, and i think walleye are more finicky. Thanks

I've seen a guy and his daughter pull a 5-6 pounder out of hamilton harbour a few years ago from shore. Caught on a white spinnerbait. Me and my friend ended up landing it for them.

I have been getting really interested in trolling crankbaits for walleye lately but have no idea how to approach it. Could anybody help me out by outlining some spots I should be trying (points, drop-offs, etc), how much line I should be letting out, and what lures I should be using (flatlining only). I have no electronics, line counter, trolling motor, etc. I'd like to have the basic idea figured out by opener. For lures I have: 3x husky jerk 2x wally diver 1x hot n' tot 2x shad rap Is there any other lures I should pick up so that I have lures for the entire water column? How much line should I be letting out? Would a long cast behind the boat work? How fast should I be trolling? I would guess just run the outboard as slow as I can? Thanks, Matt.

troll x-raps or husky jerks for both pike and walleye. HJ 12 or 14 size should do the trick.

4 lb fluorocarbon, small hook, small piece of a worm. no split shots or anything else. just drift it along and you'll get them. I also did really well on tiny spinners last year (panther martin #1, mepps #0).

fishmasters is the way to go

yes

jeez thanks for all the quick replies guys it will really help me out!

oops fixed that this kinda thing is probably why I got a 76 in my english course last semester...

I've always owned fenders but you just can't beat the tone and power of a marshall. RIP.

Hey guys I purchased a few spinner rigs/worm harnesses for walleye yesterday, and I was wondering how you are supposed to store them? I now have 6 spinner rigs and if I were to just put them all in my tackle box they'd be a mess and pretty well unusable. Does anybody have any suggustions/methods they use? Thanks!!

my biggest (and only) pike was a 21"er. woo-hoo?

i think you should try 50 pt. good luck, make sure to tell us if you get anything!!

sunday... it was a beautiful day I dont understand why I dident catch anything, usaully something is biting at bayfront

nice. i tried for 3 hours with live minnows and not even a bite.

Thanks

Can crappies tell the difference between micro tubes and real live minnows? Last year I caught lots of crappies on micro tubes but never really tried live minnows. I think maybe in the early spring they are a bit more finicy and would prefer something real? Thanks, Matt.

i was at bayfront, bought some big minnows. not a bite all day...
