The Rock Bass population in Norton seems to be on the upswing.

That being said, the security that the city hired for the new rec centre are down right nasty if they catch you parking your car. I have been harassed several times. One night the old guy was waiting at my car. Gotta love urban fishing!!

I was targeting Crappie at Professors Lake this evening and could not get over the size of the Bass that are cruising around the drop off.   I'm estimating some of them to be 7-8lb.   I will be starting my Bass season at Lake Simcoe, but Professors Lake will be my urban Bass fishing home this year! 

I went to Heart lake last year for pike opener and rented a boat because I wanted to get on top of the game in a way but didn't help. 

 

Clean place, great for a picnic but hard to even pull our a perch or really any other sunfish even. 

 

In the middle pond there are a bunch of turtles and one GIANT trout which some idiot couple were trying to snag and also saw someone pull out a bass and as soon as I yelled at them from my aluminium they tossed it back. 

 

Sad to say, there was even a CO there but he went around cruising on his boat and came back checking peoples licenses but you can buy one there so wasn't really a big day on the water to catch the real big guns but yeh... 

 

anyways...

 

I personally wouldn't go back, before this time I was quite young but now there is a lot of fishing pressure... LOTS so its darn hard to fish. lots of people fishing there. I would 100000% recommend you to find a park with a little body of water on it and I'm sure their will be fish to catch for the family but I wouldn't recommend going. 

 

Heart Lake can be the best fishing one day and skunked the next. 

Went to Loafers Lake in Brampton and there is at least 100-200 dead fish around the shore and island..   LMB, Crappie, Carp, Brown Bullhead...  Very sad to see.
