sonicpike Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hello all, I was thinking of heading up to Gloucester Pool this weekend. Has anyone been there as of late? Are the pike and walleye biting? Any advice would be welcome! Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Gloucester wouldn't be my first place for pickerel, but if you end up going you'll wanna hit around the White Falls area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonicpike Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Where else would you recommend for pickeral and pike... close to Barrie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Where else would you recommend for pickeral and pike... close to Barrie? GBay without a doubt. Shouldn't have any issues catching pike this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicpike Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Gbay sounds good.... but I wouldnt know where to start. The last thing that I want to do is spend the day on the water without a fish. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing that I want to do is spend the day on the water without a fish. Any advice? Get a map GBay is not a place to mess around in (I tore the skeg clean off our 40HP 4stroke Honda because I had a brain fart last year while looking at the chartplotter) Other then that, the area around Matchedash Bay and Hogs Bay should easily give up a few pike.

bigugli Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 The bays off the channel to honey harbour often hold good #s of pike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12footspringbok Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I was up to the big chute on may 18, so the upper side of the severn in that area. It was nice because they had not yet opened that section of the trent so there was hardly any boat traffic. Anyways i know some good spots in the fall for walleye but not in the spring. We tried lots of different spots that i though looked good on the chart, with not much luck except for rock bass and sunfish. At around 12:30 we decided to try one last spot and we ended getting in to a few nice walleyes and a few good sized crappie to boot. So to answer your question they are biting up there for sure just keep trying new spots. We caught all of our fish on green go get'ers with worms, in about 10-15ft of water. Hope this helps.

Rizzo Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 wow this is coincidental. I just turned on my computer to get the directions Misfish pm'ed me a few days ago to a launch for Gloucester Pool and I see this thread. We will be after pike tomorrow, not those pesky walleyes. Hopefully I'll have something to report although the negative reviews here are starting to scare me! There is a small chance we fish GBay out from Waubashene instead. I'd like to say what kind of boat I'll be in but I'm going with a friend and we're using his boat. I believe it is a Ranger(?) but not sure. I am sure its wwwaaaaayyyy bigger and better than mine. Lets try this, if you do Gloucester Pool Saturday and see 3 guys in a Ranger come say hello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
