finnigan Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hey everyone!! I'm a new member here, just thought I would introduce myself. Names Jordan, 24 years old. I just recently got back into fishing and I also just moved to Midhurst, just north of Barrie. I have been trying to find a good fishing hole for Bass, preferable a river or pond around the Springwater area. I've fished for Bass in little lake and at simcoe, but would love to find a good pond or something that doesn't get touched often and can be fished from shore, or canoe. What happened to the good old days when you could catch bass every cast in the local pond? Also, I'm not looking to expose these spots to everyone and there brothers, just have a little catch and release fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Midhurst eh. I'm not much of a pro when it comes to the Nottawasaga River, but you may be able to find some bass in there. Welcome to the board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipfisher Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Welcome aboard Jordan. A little farther North but the Black and Green rivers at Washago have good bass fishing from shore or canoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnigan Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, and nipfisher and N.A.W. for the tips. I'll have to check those spots out sometime. lunkerbass- so far google earth has done me well!! Just yesterday I checked out a few ponds and rivers around here and found a few very promising spots. One pond is huge, has pumpkinseed, and what appears to be catfish fingerlings swimming around?? and the river has trout!! Still no sign of any bass but I may just have to try out trout fishing soon. thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnigan Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 http://s804.photobuc...nt=PICT0045.jpg Anyone know what kind of fish this is? Caught it in a pond I found, with corn on a fire circle hook. It looks bigger than it is because I had to use a gopro wide helmet cam (can't find my digital). Probably about 8-10 inches long. Made funny catfish like noises, but doesn't have whiskers. thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
