Sketty55 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Posted October 18, 2019 Hope everyone had good luck this summer with lots of memories to keep you going over the winter. I had a decent summer and my regular Bass lakes produced some nice fish. I took my kids for some panfish and they were pretty excited to see a small pike in the water. I've never targeted pike but now thinking about spending a day out with a guide to go after a few. I did a quick google search but I don't come up with much. Appreciate any recommendations for a guide in Ontario, within 3-4hrs of Toronto I would say. Thanks!
GBW Posted October 18, 2019 Report Posted October 18, 2019 A member here named Steve Rowbotham is a guide on Simcoe. He does quite well with all sorts of fish (pike, lakers, bass, whitefish) 1
Raycaster Posted October 21, 2019 Report Posted October 21, 2019 Did a guide on Nippising (Cache Bay) a few years back and it was awesome. Fished Pike for many years but quickly realized I knew ZERO! The Bay was solid with weeds and almost unfishable but within an hour we were all pretty good manuevering lines through the weeds and fish came steady. The guide showed us techniques with simple spinners and cranks avoiding foul ups. Think we finished with over 15 pike and now I usually fish close to the heaviest weeds I can find just ripping through with braid. The kids will spend awhile with snags galore but they will get it. Sorry dont remember guides name but any guide that works Cache Bay probably knews his stuff. Its so thick you spend half your time cleaning your prop. Its a life lesson I wish I got way earlier.
Sketty55 Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Posted October 21, 2019 Thanks to both GBW and Raycaster for the replies. I've reached to Steve and I will take a look in to Cache Bay and see what I can find!
Terry Posted October 21, 2019 Report Posted October 21, 2019 If you want to fish Georgian bay. JPbushey kawartha pike Greg Klatt 3
Chuck Enwinde Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 You've got some solid recommendations so far. Look up Taro Murata for something a little more local. 2
BillM Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 JP would be my vote for anything Parry Sound. 1
muskybw Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 hello--i have fished 3 lakes in haliburton late summer early fall for MUSKIE, not one caught worth a photo ? but i have been told there are 2 lakes, one runs into the other has some really big pike in them ? i'm just a guest up in haliburton, there are guys on this board that are there every weekend, they should know for sure !
japper Posted October 23, 2019 Report Posted October 23, 2019 Weeds. Find weeds, cast along and through them. Pulled this guy out of a weed bed in 4 feet of water.
TennesseeGuy Posted October 25, 2019 Report Posted October 25, 2019 JP will put you on fish and keep you entertained. Take lots of extra food.
Chuck Enwinde Posted October 28, 2019 Report Posted October 28, 2019 A real life LOL. Take TenneseeGuy's advice. He was catching monster pike before it was the cool thing to do. Good to see you posting Connie.
