balsamj Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Here is a picture of a mauskie I caught a few weeks ago...hope you enjoy. Caught on ulta light tackle with perch pattern shad rap. The real reson for this post is to get some help in finding a spot to fish salmon from shore. I live in the beaches and want to know if there is anywhere close by. Much appreciated. balsamj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helmutt Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Bluffers Park. Evenings and after dark, if you are brave enough to venture to Scarberia that late. Once the leaves really start to turn, the browns usually show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Sorry...cant help you on Toronto locations....beauty muskie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 can't help you on the salmon but nice looking musky! Looks like something took a chunk out of its tail at some point in its past. One helpful recommendation though: Take the hooks out before posing for the photo - if that fish thrashes around you've got trebles coming at you with a lot of speed, and if the unhooking job takes longer than expected, you can always opt to not take a photo to get the fish back in the water as soon as possible. Either way, nice fish and good luck with the salmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Bass Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Nice musky! I agree. You should take the hooks out of the fish before holding it up! I have been stung by hooks and its not a good feeling.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balsamj Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Johnny Bass & Rizzo, Fish was landed boatside and tried to take the hooks out with no plyers. proved too dificult so cut the line at swivel and held her for a quick poto and put her back in the water...took off with a splash and was doing just fine. As far as I know its better to let her go with a little shad rap that will rust off in 3 days than to screw around with the hooks for 20 minutes. I think I did the right thing...and i've got plenty of shad raps! Thanks for the pointers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuskyBill Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I can't believe people still go fishing without a cheap pair of pliers handy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
