Who knew that carp would be winning the battle of "survival of the fittest"? haha

Thanks! probably my new favourite fish to go after

So i got a chance to go carping the last couple days, all in all VERY successful. Between 2 of us we managed about 14 carp and 4 sucker. All seemed to only take worm, only one carp was interested in my corn. I got the thrill of a lifetime 10 minutes into my first cast when this BEAST of a carp...

Haha this is an awesome post. Going to go carping in my secret spot this friday, will definitely get to food basics to stock up for the whole season. Now just let us know when worms go on sale..

This is the second post ive seen today where a young inexperienced fisherman catches something he should be proud of, only to get a negative reaction from "fellow" fishermen. I, for one, am happy for you, congratulations on the beauties. Don't forget that these fish have more rights than humans...

How's it going everyone?? I was thinking of heading to Wilcox Lake in Richmond Hill but am unsure of the ice conditions there. Does anyone know if it is safe yet? We've been having warmer weather lately so I am hesitant to go without making sure. Otherwise I will be heading to Island Lake in...

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...

Hey guys, Heading out to Belwood tomorrow if I get my shift off work (fingers crossed) to do some pike/perch fishing. Does anyone know if they have lowered the water level yet? Alternatively, does anyone know how I can find out? I prefer fishing there when the water gets lowered.. seems to...

Wow that looks amazing. Will be heading out again to try my luck tomorrow til Tuesday. I was just wondering: Does lowering the water level of a lake affect the fish? On Canal Lake the water is partly drained yearly, and have never been able to try fishing while the water is low..

Went up to my cottage Friday night and decided to do some night fishing on Canal Lake for the first time ever. Threw minnows and worms out there... with the worms producing 3 brown bullhead. Slow night, but my buddy and I lovin the atmosphere of night fishing, definitely the first attempt of...

Will be going to my cottage at Canal Lake this weekend to try my hand at a Musky! Will settle for some pike... hell even some perch. Will report back if there is anything to report back as soon as possible. Go Habs Go -Mike

Haha, no decided against perch fishing, bought small minnows just in case. I was targeting pike this time around, can't wait til the perch come into barrie/beaverton...nothing tastier! I also stopped by Fairy Lake in Acton... no panfish even on worms, let alone any pike/bass. It was "stay home...

ARG! I got skunked this weekend, threw large minnows, small minnows, worms, spinners, everything but the kitchen sink and not even a nibble. Weather was horrendous until around 1 or 2 pm, but by that time my friends' patience had grew thin (and all my large minnows died). Had a bit of a strange...

I use a dark green Power Pro braid... the only line that I swear by so far. A little bit of fraying here and there but nothing my swiss army knife cant handle. But by far the most efficient and "lucky" line I've ever used... On a side note, I spotted a SpiderWire White Braid line yesterday at...

Decided against going perch fishing tomorrow, will be going to the Fergus/Elora area to try my luck with some pike instead.. will report (if there is anything to report) asap. Hope I will capture more fish than the Leafs will wins. Shouldn't be too hard.... :P Go Habs! -Mike

Hi everyone, Haven't posted in a long time. I was wondering if you guys could estimate when the perch will be coming into Barrie or up near Beaverton (hwy 12). The nights are getting colder and the days shorter.. and I'm itching to catch some tasty perch. I am considering going this weekend to...

Hi all, I am heading up to Skeleton Lake this weekend, and was wondering if anyone has ever fished it/ knows if there is access to it. I am staying at a farm nearby, and am itching to do some more fishing. The interactive fish guide on the ministry website does not offer any info on the species...

Removed. Just wondering, I hadnt been targetting largemouth bass but caught one (as im sure has happened to everyone in this forum), and i had obviously released as it is out of season (and if it was it would still have been released so someone else can have the pleasure of catching him).. my...

Back from a solid couple days of fishing.. in total I caught 4 pike and 1 largemouth bass.... lots of perch to be had as well. All fish were released. It was good to see Canal Lake producing from the shore! 2 of the pike caught were from Lake Dalrymple.. Just had a quick question: I noticed...

Hi guys, I have a cottage on Canal lake on the west side. I am going up tomorrow for some pike fishing and possibly targeting some crappie. I know the lake inside and out, but was wondering if you guys knew of some shore fishing on Mitchell Lake and Lake Dalrymple. On Mitchell Lake I only know...
