Correct, but how do you tell a bass not too bite your hook? I'm not going for bass, I never target bass when I go out yet always seem to land a few.

hahahahahahaha!!! ask him politley i suppose.

how is the fishing at bloomingdale ponds? ive never been, but i have seen quite a few people there.

hey ladies and gents, im josh, from kw. ive been to numerous lakes and rivers, but my all time favourite spot to fish is a small lake my grandparents own a trailer on, about 15 mins south of owen sound. its a pike and bass lake. but because theres not public launch or gas motors on the lake, the fishing is usually productive as the lake doesnt see a crazy amount of fishing pressure. My personal best is a 38" pike, but i have seen a 46" come out of there. It definitley adds a new element fighting with a gator thats pulling your canoe around.

hey there. ive had great success and miserable outings in the grand. just up the river a bit from where the dollhouse used to be, ive had some success casting tubes out. theres some deep pools up and down that section, and ive caught a few decent pike and bass along there, i wouldnt mind trying one of those "canoeing the grand" places and see how the rest of the river is. as for conestoga, ive never fished the river, but i have fished the lake before. not too much walleye ive caught, but i do catch quite a few pike. 35" was my best for pike, but i usually come across alot of 14"-24" pike. i have heard many good things about the river tho. theres apparently some good spots below the dam, and in st jacobs theres supposedly a good deep pool out there somewhere

GOOD NEWS

Caught 4 pike at Belwood this weekend.. probably about one pounders (really small, but put up a hell of a fight on a light setup).. but the real surprise were the dozen beautiful crappie I caught. As soon as I can get my blackberry's pc connection to co-operate with me I'll put up the pics. The weather was beautiful til around noon when the wind really picked up.. about a dozen fisherman in my immediate area.. no one catching anything but my friend and I.

Everyone was casting as far as they could until my friend and I had a cigarette and watched our floats get to about 10 feet to shore, prompting my friend to ask : "would you be surprised if I caught anything this close to shore?".. and I replied I've seen stranger things.
Before cigarette's end, his bobber was gone. Pike on the other end. Then it was my turn, and his again, and finally mine one last time. The egos of the guys next to us didn't allow them to reel their lines closer to shore... so stubborn ahahah

All in all it was an awesome time. And the Habs won in OT too... gotta love it


Go Habs Go

belwood will also have a very good walleye population in the next few years. i friend of mine has a family cottage there, and was talking to one of the relatives, and last summer (2010), they had stoked 15 000 walleye there. the number seemed kinda high to me, but he swore up and down thats how many they put in. i took my daughter out for about half an hour to a shoal we found, and jigged it, and she caught 4 picks. All less than a pound, but its a promising sign to say the least if you fish belwood.
