TEEJAY

Gonna bump this one up instead of making a new topic and see if we can get some Hamilton/Burlington peeps to come out of the woodwork.

I've been hitting Lasalle park pretty hard lately pulled out a pike a few weeks back which was a pleasant surprise (when you target a fish and catch it is a great feeling!), have started looking into Bayfront park went down there for the first time last night and from the assortment of fish i spotted just sight fishing around the whole park (first time exploring!) I think that place has lots of potential especially when bass opens up. I actually had two bass explode out of the water as I lifted my Xrap in the water column over some thick weed beds. Was awesome seeing the one fly out from the weeds up towards the surface maybe 5 feet from where i was standing blasting my lure and itself out of the water! Missed both though, not to concerned being OOS and all.

If anyone wants to fish the area I am down for basically anything, would love to have someone show me how to get to cootes and where you can fish down there as I am lost as to entrance and typical areas.

Hey there,

Just signed up on this forum deal. Sort of a weekend warrior myself.

Fished alot as a kid, now getting back into is as my girlfriend enjoys fishing more than I do, and she catches something every time.

I live in Burlington and recently have been fishing the Cootes Fishway with mixed results.
Im a little lost on everything, I have some basic gear, just lacking some good instruction and maybe a few good spots.
I dont know how to target a species, (i use corn in cootes hoping for carp, my girlfriend lands everything on worms)

Any tips or help or anything at all would b great.

Thanks and Happy Fishing
