fish-miester Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 oh ya ? im kind of used to fishing junk as i live on Scugog .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addy79 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 then you could fair well... rip spinnerbaits n buzzbaits overtop teh weeds. Balsam is a short drive from canal and ive just experienced more variety and success in Balsam not to mention Mitchell lake.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordy Mohr Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Canal is one of my all time favourites. Pike , bass and musky. Strike King spinnerbaits or Johnson Silver Minnow, yes there are weeds but that lake is full of fish. I caught my biggest sm bass there.I usually stay in Bolsover at the marina/motel.

fish-miester Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 well today.. was on the water for 7am caught 2 smaller bass right out from the boat launch and lost a small musky or pike.. didnt really see it .. after that we headed to the west side of the lake.. BAD IDEA... the fishing was sooooo SLOW .. after a few hours came back over to the other side.. and started catching fish ..nothing to big... as every fish of size got off or had comitment isues.. but was able to catch a small pike and a hooked into a musky but it got off boat side.. the pike was about a foot and a half .. and the ski was a good 35' and i saw both of the fish before they hit as they were both apperently sunning them selves.. then later on we found a few docks that were high enough to hold fish . but half of them were spooked by the time we were any where close im guessing cuz the docks were so high + water was so low making us and the fish very visable.. after docks we headed out to the middle of the lake and flipped deep pockets wich worked out well , and caught a few smaller fish and lost a few more.. then we moves to a couple rock edges .. and only caught 2 fish.. one of them being a rock bass and the other being a 4.1 lb smallie, we then fished a few more docks and was able to land 2 more bigger largies.. about 3+ lbs each.. all in all it was a slow start but a good day . saw plenty of fish .. just wish that we were a bit more consistant .. pictures will be up soon as for Fishman2202 we deffenetly bottomed out a few times.. but used the trolling motor 99% of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a public launch at canal. unfortunately, road names in the area ellude me, hopefully someone else can chime in here... The Mitchell launch is on hwy 48 as you go between the two halves of mitchell.There is a boat launch sign.The launch on Canal is off of 48 on Centennial Park or Centennial road.You drive over the' Hole in the wall' where everyone shore fishes past the trailer park about a mile or so on the left.Both launches require a payment left in a lock box.Last time I was there it was 6 bucks.
