limeyangler Posted January 17 Report Posted January 17 Hi all, had a bit more time today and my neighbour and me took the longer trek down the lake to a good crappie hole. Fishing was decent and we got a couple of nice walleye too. 7
pics Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 Awesome. I used to love crappie fishing. They're tough to find consistently in southern Ontario now.. 1

pics Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 Yeah, that area is pretty good as well.. all my spots around the Hamilton area have been fished out or the population has crashed. 1

Expand Populations are definitely cyclical, especially in smaller bodies of water. Back in the day, I used to do well at Binbrook and Mountsburg...then nothing. Not sure if they ever bounced back..

I was involved in doing counts back when the population was massive and it's rare to catch one now. The walleye are reproducing and the Bass are holding their own. Even the pike is nothing like it was in the early 90s and the conservation authority hasn't spent a dime to find out why the fish population has been the way it has. I was involved in stocking walleye and bass and the money was raised for that with the crappie derbies.. 2
