Where Do All The Fish Go?

[007]

Hi everyone.

 

Had another fishless trip to the Toronto Islands today and it go me thinking. Where do all the fish go??

 

The Islands is full of fish - bass, carp, pumpkinseedfish, perch, pike, bullhead, etc during spring, summer and fall but at this time of the year they all disappear .

 

Now I understand that they look for warmer deeper water but does that mean deeper water in and around the islands or do they all move out of the islands completely and head really deep into Lake Ontario?

 

Oh and what do they do down there? Do warm water fish like bass and carp keep eating down in the depths or do they just 'chill out' till spring??

Yes they move out to deeper water, I'd guess 30-70 deep.. as for what they're doin' down there... they're havin' a party!!! Drinkin' Zebra Mussel "Shine", smokin Hydrilla, talkin' trash to all the "babe" fishes, and laughin' at the guy fishin' in the shallows for them.
