highdrifter Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 S'up, Ric'O'da'sea S'up ya'll. Rick, you should make a break from the island for a weekend. The harbour feels so horribly underfished since the segregation of the mctrio. Come on down son!! cheers H to the D
highdrifter Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 I am definitely up for some of that action! Make sure you post when you're going, if you want company I am good from shore, or the float tube yyeeeee oooh man I'm jonzin. How does Sunday sounds to anyone?
BITEME Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 yyeeeee oooh man I'm jonzin. How does Sunday sounds to anyone? IM IN TIME AND PLACE
BillM Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 I'll most likely be fishing after work during the week if anything.
BFSC Kevin Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) i might be down for sunday. but is it too early? i still need to pick up some stuff!!! can't wait for the spring classic! Edited February 27, 2008 by kevin
Toronto_Angler Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 What are your favorite tactics for spring Pike? I'm going to be using Smelts either fished on the bottom or under a float. I heard that works well. Also heard Rapala Countdowns are pretty good for cold water.
BillM Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 I was talking to Grant yesterday at Bass Pro, he suggested suspended huskie jerks should be a good idea. Monday looks like some decent weather, I think I might head down to Ontario Place after work...
dunder Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 been a few of us (5-6 regulars and more on some days ) going at it at lunch time all winter from the foot of spadina towards ontario place. I work just up the street and spend my lunch hour casting to any open water I find . Its a hit and miss thing but you manage a fish or two every few days ( had a few browns two weeks ago but mostly snot rockets , hopefully the big guys will show up soon) keeps me going (better than the walk up the street to hootters) hope to see you guys down there . Hi I'm curious? Can you tell me what "snot rockets" are? Thanks in advance

gekhunter Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Has anyone seen the conditions up close….I'm looking over the harbour from downtown and looks pretty frozen out there except for a path for the ferry.
Toronto_Angler Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Has anyone seen the conditions up close….I'm looking over the harbour from downtown and looks pretty frozen out there except for a path for the ferry. The latest cold snap froze up most spots pretty good. Some Marina's have warm water pumps near the boat launches which might be open. But with this cold weather not sure how active the pike will be.
BFSC Kevin Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 yeah.. i think im gonig to wait for atleast another week before i head out.. just a tad too cold..
tdotfisherman Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 yeah.. i think im gonig to wait for atleast another week before i head out.. just a tad too cold.. You can say that again.. I was just out at a local spot, fishing the big Lake O.. The winds were howling, the waves were pounding, and the snow was blowing.. but it was still an absolute blast because I was wetting a line for the first time in over a month! Nothing even close to a bite, but I dont care, it was still great..
Stoty Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 I have never fished anywhere near the city before, so I would like to give it a try! Someone post the date/time when a few of you will be going, and I will try and join ya! Cheers, *Stoty
PatrickGG Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 OMG! ROFLCOPTER!, I will hit all those good spots before you guys i just hope none of you SNAG"" any bikes, i did my routine drive and found a couple of open spots i am just gonna wait and sneak up on them toothy critters. P.S Lets not forget the 3k walk.
waterwolf Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 it was nasty out there when i drove by in the mornin' i'll be waiting a week for sure there's still alot of ice ,, you'd be limited in where you could throw for 'em. what's involved in getting a harbor permit when i do get primed to hit the lake?? anyone have an idea?
Ben_Daniels Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 I'm definitely ready for some TO Pike Action!!! I think its gonna be a while though...I was at one of my local spots, a small bay, trying for some Brown Trout earlier this week. I ended up walking a good KM or two before I even got to open water. I was going to fish this bay but ended up fishing wide open Lake O because everything else was frozen over . Someone mentioned goin out in float tubes....I got one this winter and I'm yet to use it. Id be down for some float tube Pikin!!! -Ben
FishHeadRic Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Ahh, Waiting for the ice-out. The one thing I don't miss Remember this day Fidel? FHR

ranger520vx Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Ahh, Waiting for the ice-out. The one thing I don't miss Remember this day Fidel? FHR nice job FHR. that is pure hardcore fishing.
Ben_Daniels Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Holy Crap FHR! with the ice right next to you...your Hardcore! I still don't have waders, I'm headin up to BPS this week though, cant wait till the ice is out! -Ben
FishHeadRic Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Yeah a little nuts. Great fishing though. I used to go out on Christmas day under OP It's a great area cause it's fairly protected from the wind but your could only spend half and hour at a time in the water otherwise you'd just start cramping up. It also got dangerous going between the ice sheets. I'd sit there and wait till they parted and gun it to the other side. I did have them close on me one time and had to hop up on top of the ice sheet before my legs got pinched off. I also used to love the way people would look at me when I got on the TTC covered in Pike blood and smelling like a China town supermarket floor. Hehe! FHR
young_one Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 also used to love the way people would look at me when I got on the TTC covered in Pike blood and smelling like a China town supermarket floor. Hehe! LOL, that might happen to me one day
