it rained the night b4 so the air ,grass,trees were all wet but you could sense the birds,animals and yes the fish had come out again and it was to be a beautiful day.....
for two weeks i have scarcely seen a bowfin....i saw 6 different ones today.
there are 10 times more carp around...and they are cruising as well as sunbathing
pike are deep in the weeds until 7:30 at night which i got a 3ft follow under a willow tree at hanlans pt...the pike kinda startled me at the speed in which it attacked....
the bass are nesting....the smallies are nesting and cruising around fighting each other...note the bass are very big this year so...after season opens i suggest our members have some bass fish'n fun out here....
the cat fish are plentiful and i learn't something about fishing for them....
i had believed that if you spotted one the best idea was to cast over them and present the lure or worm to them about a foot or two in front or beside them....
i have now realized that if you can land the lure or worm on top of them or directly beside them and suprise them the catfish have a built in automatic defense mechanism to bite and attack the suprise attacker...so you hook the biting cat fish...and it is as full of fight as it can get..
found out why the pike fishing was poor this year at the spadina queen's quay area...the port authority dredged the spawning weed beds at the foot of spadina and at the police and fire stations to make it easier for the emergency boats to get in and out weedless....fishing and pike spawning ruined....
here is todays bowfin catch...i was alone so no pics with fish...
