Hamilton Fishing

[tknohpy]

Hey Guys and Gals

 

I have moved to Hamilton recently. I am at my trailer on Hay Bay April to October but am looking for places to fish November to March. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Good choice Dave yet not that close to Hamilton, I know there are some nice trials back in the bay there but not to sure about fishing around there. Give us a report if you have any luck.

November to May... You're probably looking at ice fishing down at Pier 4 or in that area. I usually put away the gear over that time, but maybe ice fishing won't be that bad.... Never tried it, but buddies are bugging me to try it with them. I think I remember seeing folks at the dam in Caledonia during that stretch, but others can probably tell you for sure. Welcome to the Hammer!

lots in the area or close surroundings...

 

bayfront park, la salle park, pier 4, pier 8, binbrook conservation area, grand river, port Dalhousie...

 

lots of opportunities near by

[tknohpy]

what species are you fishing for in those areas?

[uglyfish]

Perch, crappie, bluegills pike, walleye, trout

I'm sure this won't help you much but most of my friends here in Hamilton head to the BOQ November through March.

[tknohpy]

i will be making trips every couple of weeks myself

[Gerritt]

That would be great! I fish mainly for walleye all year so new experiences would be good

im in the hamilton area as well. day trips are usually to lake erie, but ive done all the local conservations and such. check the GRCA website and the niagara region site for locations. i dont have much faith in the conservation areas - just my experience. lots of sunfish thru the ice. i fish the harbour and burlington bay a few times just to get out. maitland and nanticoke are pretty close. welcome to the hammer.

[danbouck]

I'll be in Hamilton that day!

[smally21]

will trade smoked meat for longpoint intel.

[danbouck]

I usually give it away for free but that sounds good too!

[Loonietoon]

this could get interesting...YES

Grateful Fisher, clearly we have something in common .... gotta luv the wall of sound!

 

Anyways, lots of advice for ice fishing. Give me a PM on QF.net.

 

I fish open water all fall, winter, and spring long....not interesting in fishing on the ice.

 

Lots of good open water fishing around here in the winter....but ya gotta bundle up!
