HIMTI Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) After reading the post that Salmon were caught off Bronte harbor. I decided to give it a shot. Threw Little Cleos for 4 hours and nothing. there were about 8-10 fishermen there and no one had anything. Sad starting to the day today.

ccmtcanada Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 At least you got out there and gave it a try. You cant catch anything from your living room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatherof3 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 it is hit or miss right now but rain will help, just keep at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2fan Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) Sorry you got skunked.... I worked at my part time job from 3 till 8 AM before I went to the regular job (which only took me 45 minutes today I love being on salary) and I am betting you still had the better time LOL. The rain will definitely help and so will the cooler temps coming next week along with the full moon ;o) Edited August 23, 2007 by Canuck2fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pike Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) That's pier fishing. Only way to increase your odds of hookin' into a fish is by heading out more often. Also, the salmon are just starting to gather at the river mouths so be patient and keep fishing. Oh, and thanks for your report, by the way!

dobee Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I also went down, 10pm until 1 am.... saw 2 hooked but nothing brought in, and I lost 4 cleos. >:| slow night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Whitefox and I tried the liftbridge last night... nothing hooked/landed/sighted/zip/zilch/nada again, it's still early the odd fish is in here and there, but it still needs more time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I was out trying as well, in my neck of the woods. Nothing came out of the water here either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyb Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yep, hit or miss as fatherof3 and MTP say, you just gotta be persistant. Some years I have gone 3 or 4 trips getting skunked, but then get nights that you get 5 or 6 fish, it's all timing, and nobody can say for sure when a good time to go is. You can't catch 'em when you're logged into OFC though, so get out there! (well maybe if you have a cell phone with internet or similar device! ) Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disspatcher Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 If you watch the trollers threads, they are little confused too,.....only getting the salmon and bows out in 300 FOW still!!!!! The rain this weekend should bring them in a wee bit closer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazybum Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Surface temperatures in western Lake Ontario seems high at the moment. We had east winds for a few days that moved a lot of warm water in. Wait for the north or north-west winds to pick up to push it back out.

Fishnfiend Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 The Bronte fish are partial to chicken wing remnants from the firehall. I suggest going for some wings and a bevvie at the Firehall, then going down to the pier. You are probably laughing, but it has worked in the past...

misfish Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Damn them spoons.LOL I like to read about the guys fishing from the rocks/piers from down at Lake Ontario way. I really enjoyed my times down there chucking the Cleo and Croc.Met alot of good people there. Keep at it,they will bite, and you will be rewarded.

SlowPoke Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 dang' perfect. Not only are glow-in-the-dark Cleo's sold out but now you can't find a chicken wing within a 40km radius of Bronte. Way to go guys. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkynan Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Head out to the lift bridge on the Hamilton side and cast glow in the dark cleos right where the break wall starts. Always got them there first before the pier at Bronte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBarilko Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I was out this morning in anywhere from 40-130 feet, lots marked from 45 out to 110 by the ship canal. Managed one 15 lber only out for a few hours. Boats were all in close, almost within casting distance Lots jumping too, I'd say casting from the ship canal in the next few days esp after these rains should yield some, good luck! It's been a crazy summer trolling, spring was good, then fish were out way deep most of last July and Aug, might have some good later runs too. Fish I got today was still very silver.
