shane Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 I can't believe no ones hammered this guy!? I thought this was OFC, 8 posts and he wants to know our favourite lakes??? unbelievable! Everybody's in a good mood for a change. Must have been out fishing a few times.
Greencoachdog Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Daytona pier, Florida...Atlantic Ocean... If you're gonna claim the Atlantic Norm, I've got dibs on the Gulf of Mexico!!!
jediangler Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Any conservation area lake that doesn't allow gas motors.
Rizzo Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 drainage ditch in front of my house...put some goldfish in there this spring. Next day I watched the neighbour catching them with a bucket to give his children...so I guess its my neighbour's favorite fishing spot too

pikehunter Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 I found a really hot spot once, so I figured I should mark the location. Since I haven't a GPS or any other such devise at my disposal I just pulled out my trusty Sharpie pen and drew a big "X" on the starboard side of my boat. Funny thing is, I just can't find any more fish where that X is.
johnthefisherman Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Posted May 28, 2008 Hey i just started fishing a weekend ago and i just wanted to know where i can go to fish since i enjoyed it so much...i didn't know asking a simple question like this would be so difficult to answer. I thought the purpose of using this forum was to ask questions and help each other out. To those who answered it maturely, thank you!
addy79 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Your lucky to have received as much info as you did Johnny Boy....Usually, newbies that come in and blatantly ask members for hot spots get blasted. p.s. Lake Ontario
BabyHerc Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Hey i just started fishing a weekend ago and i just wanted to know where i can go to fish since i enjoyed it so much...i didn't know asking a simple question like this would be so difficult to answer. I thought the purpose of using this forum was to ask questions and help each other out. To those who answered it maturely, thank you! Everyone here is all for helping and answering questions, but you have to understand that many people have dedicated a lifetime to finding and learning their own secret spots, myself inlcluded. Asking for these spots is considered untactful. I put in years of research for every spot I fish. You are naive to think that people are willing to provide this information. It's akin to standing on Bay Street and asking every passerby what their salary is.
BillM Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 I didn't think he asked for your 'secret spots'... What is the harm in telling him 'Yeah, I was up at lake X last week, caught some nice pickerel in about 4ft of water using a white twister tail' Simple way of providing the guy with a little help without divulging your honey holes. BTW, your secret spots are most likely alot of other people's secret spots
Whopper Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Little Vermilion, shallow water. Right on Clive, just last week as a mater of factly. Pick a bay any bay. Pick a creek any creek. This week even seems better from what I've heard. Edited May 28, 2008 by Whopper
Headhunter Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Bernie's cottage!!!!! Otherwise, I find that Bay of Quinte provides as much entertainment this old body can handle! HH
bassman Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Welcome to the board, my fav is Lake Simcoe. It's got pretty much every species, LM Bass, SM Bass, pike, musky (limited), walleye(limited), perch, whitefish, lakers, bowfin, carp, crappie. Your experience on this board will help you determine who is a helpful fisher friend and who's a jackass. I think you may have uncovered a few already.Good luck with that one. Cheers!
Carp Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 ....Bars Good one Chris. Do they tug hard ??? Sorry guys, i meant which lakes? Lake Ontario Ditto. Lake Ontario is number one on my list. Georgian Bay has to be second, followed by Simcoe & the Kawarthas.
Reef Runner Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 My fav's are the Westerly Kawartha's, but I would love to spend some more time on the Moon and French River Basin's. It's a valid question, but can be interpreted in different fashion. This is a fishing forum and not a ballroom dance floor, be prepared to get ribbed once in a while. It's all good. Welcome to the sport, best of luck. reefrunner
Greencoachdog Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 I like to fish the West Arm and West Bay area of Nippissing, it's challenging to say the least... but I have seen some nice fish come out of there ... one or 2 of them were even on my line!
Mike Pike Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 The Grand River and it's tributaries are my favorite hang-outs. All the species are there; largemouth and smallmouth, pike, walleye, brookies, bows and browns, panfish. Really accessable too, especially once you throw on some waders.
