Locnar Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 A little list of fish I have never caught and would definitely like to. Some I have no idea how to go about finding them... Burbot (No Idea) Bowfin (No Idea) Muskie Carp Freshwater Drum Lake Troot White Bass (No idea) I'd really like to find some Bowfin or Burbot... but I really have no clue where to start lookin' for em... Bowfin I presume is best during the summer? But what lakes hold em? What're your fish-to-find lists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 You can catch bowfin in the shallows in May/June in the lakes they inhabit. I have caught them in the Honey Harbour area while chasing pike and crappies. I have found them in the kind of areas where you will see bass spawning a little later on. Have caught them on spinnerbaits and spoons.

Locnar Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Right on, thanks for the tips Drifter! Lots of those fish you mentioned I would love to catch... unfortunately I'd have to go to Africa to catch a Nile Perch... Might be a little difficult. Now to try to find out which lakes may hold Bowfin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Drifter said, there's a good chance for Bowfin in Southern Georgian Bay, ie Honey Harbour, Severn Sound burbot (ling) are often caught while ice fishing for lakers, they often show up around dusk, close to the bottom, Haliburton LT lakes and Lk Temegami are good places there's plenty of white bass and white perch in Hamilton Harbour Edited January 20, 2013 by chris.brock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Tons of white bass in the lower Credit down stream from the QEW in the spring as well. June being best if I remember correctly. Grab a canoe and run upstream of the rowing club and toss small spinners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djeep Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 locnar, bowfin and white bass along with all the species you want excluding the troot can both be targetted successfully in lake st clair. especially drum, carp and muskie. bit far from you but it would be worth the trip.

FisherJuli Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I would like to catch: Gar (never tried... Would be fun!!) Whitefish (they elude me so far... And I have tried!) Of course something exotic - Arctic Char, tuna, peacock bass... Would be a hoot, too!! We caught Burbot last year ice fishing on Nipissing (fun to catch!)... They ARE delish boiled (like lobster) with butter and garlic, but thank heavens Frankie65 knew how to clean and filet it or I would have been out of luck!

OhioFisherman Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 LOL, I am a lot closer to the bucket than a bucket list fish, and whatever was swimming in the waters I was fishing was fine, as long as I was having fun doing it. A 10+ bass would have been nice? but I had to lose a lot of fishing time to get to an area where they were common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
