Hi I'm from the KW area. I like to try new things and not afraid to get my hands dirty...so after talking with a buddy I got excited and went out and I bought my first rod, licence and started to fish this weekend. Went to a few spots in the GR area and Guelph, but came home with nothing. Anybody have any good pointer, spots for a beginner like me. At this point I just want to catch a fish....Anything besides seaweed!! 😜

Is GR Grand River? If so you are in the rite area.
Remember that patience is a virtue.
Altho I pitch every type of lure there is, I still say nothing beats a worm or minnow hanging beneath a float. That is my go to every time.
Welcome to the forum its a good place to talk and learn.
Good luck, be patient, the fish will find you. They always find me.

if you are into river fishing thats a great area. try finding your local tackle shops and talking to people there. they will point you in the right directions (and maybe sell you a few things )

Thanks for the welcome! Yes Alfie grand river...I bought worms and looking into the minnows. I'm trying to be patience but too excited and eager to learn as much as I could.

I'm not sure yet what I'm into Smogley I've always had interest in fishing but never got into it until last week. I didn't think I would like it as much as I'm enjoying it now. Yes I went to a local store earlier and got talking with the owner and he was very helpful. Thanks I will keep that you in mind

I know the eagerness Newgirl. Have felt it many times.
Patience is sitting by the water, enjoying the nature around you and with any luck a few fish will come to visit.
Enjoy ur time on the water. It is one of the best times of our lives.

Alfie.

Howdy - we all started by drowning worms.  Don't get discouraged is all I can say, fishing can be a huge learning curve and with all the information on the internet, it can be quite overwhelming.  Move around and if someone around you in catching, copy them!
