Toronto islands Help

[napjohn8]

i have been piking at the islands for a few years and had success last year at this time, i did not see a single pike from the shorelines, i saw alot of carp in school and these ones were up to 30lbs, smallest one was about 15lbs. What is wrong this summer, are the temperatures too cold for the pike to come into the shallows?

We need a week of warm weather for the pike to start acting like they should. Water is just to cold.

A little late . Ive been watching the pike in the harbor all spring and most of the large ones are gone for the summer some smaller ones still in the weed beds around ontario place and wards island but its a mater of you should of been there a few weeks ago .Lots of carp moveing in to spawn now and some bull heads . There are a population of smaller pike that stay all summer at the islands but the large spawners are gone .
