Sketty55 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raycaster Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share 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.

Chuck Enwinde Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 You've got some solid recommendations so far. Look up Taro Murata for something a little more local. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Enwinde Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
