First try on Toronto Island Pike (no pike though)

[Steelcat]

I took the 8am ferry to Ward's Island. While I was in the ferry, there was a VERY nice lady with a dog sitting across me. She politely asked if I was going to fish. Then she suddenly "ordered" me to move away. I asked her why, and she replied, "Why are you killing all the fish? You know fishing kill will kill things right?" She then asked me again, "Can you go paint a bamboo as a hobby? Painting a bamboo will not kill~!" I just ignored her and moved on. An interesting way to start my fishing day..... After I arrived, I immediately started to cast my lures. Saw several Bass and one Pike cruising along the shore. I tried to target Pike until 12pm, then I changed to target Carp. I was using corn under a float, after the corn enter the water, the Carp started to appear. I was getting all excited since my corn attracted them to group around. But then I realized there's something wrong. They were circling my float as if they were dancing a "We don't wanna eat your corn dance". Then I saw some bottom disturbance close to shore so I slowly reel my corn to the area, within a second, my float went under..... I was all excited, then I saw a bullhead. Overall I caught two bullheads, 13 inches and 15 inches. At least I caught something today............ I'll for sure go back and try my Pike again

And I bet that nice "lady" never killed a single thing in her life, not even a virus. Sheesh.

I went this after noon targeting pike, managed 1 only, clean and nice, but small. Carp are starting to spawn, they are in there now, tough to catch, mostly on the surface.

She politely asked if I was going to fish

 

gee wonder what gave it away!

[irishfield]

I would have asked her if you could borrow her dog for a wee while...

LOL about that lady with the dog...should have told her that even though it looks like a fishing rod, it's the latest in fencing gear. Then go to jab her dog and see what she does... j/k of course.

 

Sorry to hear about the carp....but that 15" bullhead sure is a big ulgy fish!!! When I'm being skunked, I'll throw a worm on a hook and bottom fish...most times I pull a bullhead out...makes me feel better....haha.

 

Great report!

I would have told her Jesus was a fisherman and was she insinuating that he was cruel and heartless?
