kevinhiles Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Hey, I'm new to this forum and at the advice of another member I thought I would introduce myself. I'm new to fishing. I went on a fishing trip with some friends near Prescott, Ontario (with borrowed equipment) and had an awesome time and caught a bunch of fish (smallmouth bass I think?). Last week I bought my own rod and a little bit of tackle so I can get in more time fishing. I live in Burlington so most of the fishing I can do is around here unless I take the odd trip. So far I've been to the Burlington lift bridge near Hamilton. I didn't catch any fish but it appears to be a popular spot. Next, I'm going to try a place on the Grand River, near Caledonia my cousin told me about (I think it's a dam). I want to go back to that place on the St. Lawrence river near Prescott. Between me and my four friends we must have caught 30 fish. Most of them were small but we caught the odd 4-5 pounder. If I have any more luck, I'll let you know. Cheers!

Rich Clemens Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Welcome aboard. A 4-5 LB bass ain't nothing to sneeze at. You'll have more 'luck' and don't be shy about sharing your adventures with the community - whether you caught fish or not.

hammercarp Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 If you live in Burlington then you should check out the carp fishing in the bay. They are big, powerful and there are plenty of them.
kevinhiles Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Posted July 12, 2009 Thanks everyone. I'm going to Hamilton Bay a little later today - wish me luck! Hopefully I'll have some good stories soon!
