charlied Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) I will be in the whitby and oshawa area next weekend, was just wondering if there is any decent fishing or ice fishing along the lake. Like maybe a marina that people ice fish. I didn't wanna have to travel up to Scugog to ice fish, and thought there might be somewhere closer. Even some trib fishing if they are not frozen over might be in the cards. Any help would be great, maybe even meet up with someone possibly.

Sinker Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 scugog is only 30 mins from the shwa.......that's where I'd go! S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlied Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Ya scugog was an option...except for the fact I have been there like 8 times before and have never caught a fish ever there. So I tend to not wanna go to a place I never catch fish at, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 well what do you want to fish for then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlied Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 most likely perch or rainbows thru the ice if there is somewhere in a harbour on the lake or a trib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Guess that's the difference if I got skunk on Scugog 8 times I would be mad and more determined than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin s Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Rivers are locked up!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlied Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I figured the rivers and creeks were locked up, but thought there might be somewhere at the mouths that you can ice fish at. I don't have alot of time on saturday, so I am not able to explore the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishermccann Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Was out on FrenchmansBay yesterday afternoon lots of pike iced, 2-4 lbs. Minnows in 10 ft. About 2 ft. off bottom . only 3 others out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlied Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Is there a place close to get minnows? Can you PM me directions to frenchmans bay please. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 for minnows you can try "frenchman's bay marina" but I'm not sure and if you google Livepool Rd in Pickering you should find it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Tightlines will have bait. They're on Brock St., just south of the 401, on the west side. Frenchmans bay is west of Brock St, south of Bayly, between liverpool and whites rd. You probably want the whites rd access,to the boat launch, but I would have to look up street names, and I just don't feel like doing that right now. Head south on whites, and find the lake....... S.

Photoz Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Has anyone here ever fished McLaughlin Bay down behind the G M office building at the east tip of Oshawa. Loaded with carp in the summer (they jump & splash everywhere but won't bite) . . . shallow & weedy SHOULD hold pike & perch through the ice? I believe that little bay was considered as part of the Kawarthas, and until this year, was closed to ice fishing. As soon as I can get around well enough, I know I'ma gonna give 'er a shot?

Note - that is Brock Rd. not Brock St. Brock St is in Whitby. Causes lot's of confusion for visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlied Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 i will be coming from Champlain st parallel with the QEW at Stevenson rd. All your help is appreciated guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I'm assuming you mean the 401, not the QEW? LOL If you need more help with the directions, shoot me a pm and I'll get you the proper directions from where you'll be. I'd still hit the bog though if I was you...............lake simcoe is less than an hour away too.........for perch on the east side. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlied Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 ya i meant the 401, so use to saying the QEW...LOL. The problem with going to the bog or simcoe is I only have about 5-6 hours of fishing time, if that...lol. Unless someone wants to meet me somewhere near the BOG and take me out fishing to a good spot, I may be all for that...LOL. I have to contact another member still about icing steelies thou.
