jackal68 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hi guys I am new to this forum. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to go crappie fishing (from shore) around the Brantford area please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondorfish Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Try either side of the bridge that crosses the Holland River on #11. Few more weeks and the place will be packed with crappie hunters. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnimon Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Waterford is the closest around branford,for all year round fishing.Crappie make there way up the grand come spring time.As for waterford, there are quite a few lakes/ponds to choose from.Binbrook is another as well as mountsberg resevoir.

jackal68 Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Where could I get more info on waterford? My bait store doesnt offer a lot of help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) If they can't help you use the bait they sold you find another bait store as they will be out of business shortly anyway. Head south on 24 out of Brantford, turn east on Mechanic Road after about 1.5 k you will start to see the ponds, or carry on one road further to Thompson and turn left, fish in the fishy looking spots.

jackal68 Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Ok forgive me! I was looking at mapquest and I see the old 24 runs through town. I am assuming its the new 24 that you turn right on Mechanic st? Secondly these ponds are "crown" land?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usegoogle earth hybrid.On mechanics rd between rr 24 and hwy 24, and you will see the town and a couple of bridges.And I do beleive its mostly crown land except for R/V adventure.There are some huge bass in those ponds as well.5 lbs was my largest in there but not the biggest I caught in the ponds in that neck.
