northernpike56 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi guys i am wondering if anyone has tried fishing at princess point (cootes paradise at the carp trap), or at the RBG property in hamilton harbor where grindstone creek empties in. I remember playing hockey at both of these spots as a little kid but that was like 10 years ago and for the most part I remember both being pretty shallow. Has anybody ever tried fishing at these spots before? On a side note i was fishing at bayfront in hamilton a few weeks ago and caught 8 perch on a minnow and split shot rig. I havent been back but i could probably walk out farther now to the deeper water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broker Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think cootes is worth fishing as it is too shallow, If you were catchin fishing a couple weeks ago, I would head back to where you had success instead of cootes. Or try Binbrook for some crappie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 like Shasta said, I wouldn't bother with Cootes, unless you know a spot that's a deeper hole trying around the high level bridge or Valley Inn Rd sounds like a better plan, these are current areas though so be super careful let us know how you do, if you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pike Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Cootes is a uniformly shallow bay with few features and few fish. There are so many other places where you'd have much better luck and much better shot at fish that I wouldn't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernpike56 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks guys, sounds like I may be best to stick with bayfront then because its pretty well known, and safe too. Plus a nice variety of fish to catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I dropped my aqua vu at bayfront in a few spots last winter. 200 guys on the ice not getting a bite... Down the hole, fish of EVERY species were cruising around.. I only wish I could be there on a day all those fish are hungry, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
