What would you do?

[Rich]

lol I got a few hours to kill so I'm gonna go fishin' after I get some stuff done here figured I can never decide so I'll let "the people" decide!

[Reef Runner]

I was sold on the short walk, lol.

[cram]

Moderate, or the short one for carp.

I was thinking the same thing. I've never fished any of those species so I don't know. More time fishing is better than more time walking. Carp on light gear sounds like a hoot.

[Leecher]

Short walk so that you can spend more time fishing

Specs and Browns on a Fly vs Crap, oh pardon Carp no contest in my books.

Go to the bass and fish them hard lol. I wish I had that many spots to fish within walking distance. Goodluck on your choice.

[highdrifter]

Go for the specks!

 

Hey, did you get my last PM??

I envy the fact you have such options withing walking distance. I can only walk for bass and pike and those spots are mennonite hotspots and so there's not really many fish there anymore.

The only fish I can walk to are my neighbour's Koi. Should I wacky rig for them, or go weedless?

[Musky or Specks]

This is a cool way to do this Rich it was a lot of fun for me. Im making you go fish Specks. Because of my name. Personally I wouldnt fish carp if my life depended on it. But I know you enjoy it so if you go carping good luck. But if you go and fish Patterson or Kent better luck.

[Guest Johnny Bass]

Carp. Closest spot and almost guaranteed some action.

[jwl]

I didn't add to the vote becasue for me, not really applicable. But, I am one of the lucky ones I guess, I live so close to the Upper Niagara River that I can see it from the end of my driveway and depending on the time of year I can walk like 3-4 blocks and get into some great fishing..pending time of year...steelies,lakers,browns,walleye,pike,muskies,perch,smallies are right in the neighbourhood and readily available from shore

[Guest Fishing For Life]

Has anyone hit fish when throwing heavy wacky-pitching?

[Beans]

Short walk or take a nap hmmmm...decisions, decisions...

 

Take a nap...it is pouring rain again...

[Rich]

So the final consensus was to go for the speckies and browns. I headed out for about an hour to find that I can no longer access what was my best spot. Headed to another less favourable spot and just caught a few chub minnows before heading home. Oh well at least me and the dog got out of the house and enjoyed the day.

i totally understand what u mean man..

 

but at the same time, atleast u can get out for some pike or bass...

 

short walking distance for me means jiggin for turds( bbrown troutz) in the sewer

Rich sorry to hear that your favorite spot wasn't accessible.....but on a positive note, you got out fishing... to me that's number one

 

Thanks for reporting!

short and long are relative terms. What do you consider a short versus a long walk? To me short is around 5 minutes, moderate 15 and long might be half an hour. If you don't have a lot of time, I guess go with short. Got 3 or 4 hours I'd say go to the quarry...then again, sounds like I'm too late to offer any advice. Oh well, at least you got to play with your chub

[Rich]

Quarry is a 1 hour walk, moderate walk 20 - 30 min, short spots 5 min away. lol I don't think I'll do the quarry walk again anytime soon.

[holdfast]

Get a Motor Bike and fish them all. Hope THAT helps

[carp-starter]

I chose "a short walk for speckled and brown trout". If I had no car, I would not have a problem in the spring or the fall.

 

I live about 10 houses from Bronte Creek and 10 to 15 minute of slow walking to get to Bronte Harbour.

[lunkerbasshunter]

i love walking, its good for you and since i love bass i woudl take the long walk to the crappie with the chance at bass

 

cheers!

[Mark Kulik]

Rich -get youself a bicycle 1 hr walk turnes into 10 min ride! little specks! like catching smelt, fun but not like bass and crappie-i'd choose the carp options, i grew up near the Humber river, they at least pull nice!

[Rich]

I got a bike but prefer to walk. Walking everywhere has contributed to me losing 106 pounds in the last 2 years. I guess if I used the bike I could just ride even further though!
