bucktail Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Might want to wait a week as the SE wind has filled this end with warm water driving most fish offshore. As soon as we get a west wind they should be moving right back into the the rivermouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyb Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Bucktail, I think the warm water plays much less of a role at this time of year. The fish are getting ready for their spawning runs and have only 1 thing on their mind. I think light penetration and water clarity are more important factors (eg. fish at night and work the mudlines for best success) Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemper Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Im in oshawa and have seen a few out there. Not in any great numbers yet, but I think this cooler weather and the rains comin should really bring them in. All we need now is an offshore wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharper Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Where is this pier exactly??? I would like to give it a try. Do you need a 10' plus rod for this? or will my 6'6" medium action do ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need a 10' plus rod for this? or will my 6'6" medium action do ok? It's just RIGHT AT the river mouth. Nowhere special. You do not need a 10'+ rod but longer rod than yours would help a lot. Remember, these are BIG fish. I've personally have caught with my old 6'6" rod but thought it was gonna snap in two. I think it would be a good idea for you to invest in a 8'6" ~ 10'0" Medium or Medium Heavy rod would be a great thing! BUT! most importantly, especially when fishing from piers you really do need a large net with long long long handle bar. These piers are fairly high.
