Chasing pike from shore

[mamona]

Hello everybody,

Few weeks are left until end of the season. I would love to chase pike in rivers and canals.

I do not mind driving 1-2hrs from Mississauga. Any tips? Already started exploring Niagara river and Welland.

 

If you would like to send me any info or simply help shoot me a PM.

Check out the Rec Canal in the vicinity of Ramey's Bend and Dain City if around Welland.

You may also tried lake Belwood, it's drained now and pikes concentrated in the remaining deep areas. 2 weeks ago I had some luck in the Northern part of the lake, just before the bridge. I used spoons and minnow jerkbaits.

Same with Mountsberg. Resevoiors always do well for pike after they are drained. Jerkbaits, spoons and spinners are my go to.

Thanks, guys. I checked Mountsberg (the closest to my location). Is there any other spot than the dam? The dam was packed with at least 10-15 people.

I fish from the railway embankment in the bigger portion of the lake. However, it’s prohibited. I think now, when Mountsberg is drained, you cannot find some deep enough spots for casting spoons or minnows. Unless you use heavy silicon baits on the offset hooks without waits.
