Roy Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Sounds good. Where can I buy bait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daplumma Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 At the grocery store for the channel cats.Just get yourself some chicken livers.Fish it 12" off the bottom and just wait for dinner.At least that works here.Other good baits are cut bait,worms and shrimp.Good eatin!

ch312 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 im thinking since he owns a bait shop he might be the one person that hears the most reports on the lower grand? would you guys rather have him keep is mouth shut and not give reports so we dont have a clue how the bite is? give the guy a break <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanheritage Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hey would that mean they are running into most lake ontario tribs???? I would love to get some channel cats on the line...

Marko Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 There is a good chance i am going to be there this weekend if it does not rain that much. It would be my first time fishing there so any pointers would be appriciated I`ve had luck catching big cats on chicken liver and shrimp in red river in winnipeg when i used to live there.
