Anyone know if there is fishable open water at the Port Darlington pier? I'd rather not make the drive unless I'm a little more sure we'll be able to fish...thanks in advance.

Steel from weekend before last...

Oh they did? Any idea of they discontinued orange and gold too? I've been looking for baits in that colour lately...

Great thanks!

No jumps but some crazy head shakes and some big runs for a fish that size...

Really? I just thought it was a jack male chinook??

Thanks! Yeah we were targeting them. We were casting at first but switched to trolling after the wind picked up. I was using a big perch pattern Rapala Countdown.

Got my first Muskie on Pigeon Lake last week. Never even saw one before. Now I know what the fuss is about!

Went out to a Lake Ontario pier Tuesday and got into a few fish. Lots of leapers along the mudline and in the creekmouth as the waves pushed lake water upstream. My buddy and I landed 3 and lost 3. Good luck!

The weather has been unstable and the water high for much of the summer in the Land O'Lakes Region of Southern Ontario. Water temps have been warm and stable though and the plentiful post-frontal lows made the bass bite quite good for the end of July and early August, at least on the lake we...

For walleye I usually jig a rattling lipless crankbait aggressively in one hole to get their attention and then deadstick a minnow on a jig in a second hole so the fish can choose when they come in to see what's up. I don't ice fish for pike much (only once with my buddy who loves it) but a...

Ice fishing a stocked trout lake in Alberta. Realize I forgot the pin that attaches the handle to my hand auger. Desperate to fish after a long enough drive, I jam my needle nose pliers in the hole to secure the auger to the handle. Actually works and as soon as the auger punches though, I...

I hope you got some tubes with that load of bait you bought! Hard to talk about plastics without talking about tubes

Two words: Wacky Rig (does it count if I put a Senko wacky style on a drop shot rig?) Topwater popper is a close second. Beauty fish btw!

I've heard enough to give'r a try this season. Thanks.

It really depends on the day but I find the fall is when the faster presentations (some call power fishing) start to pick up again. Ie: cranks, jerk baits, top-waters...always have a slow-sinking finesse presentation ready for followers or short strikers. That being said, I had one of my best...

Here's a couple from a week and a half ago. Both caught on a orange and gold J13s. Question: With many more fish coming into the rivers, will the pier action stay hot for the next little while?

Hopefully they'll work for some slamonns

Thanks for the input everybody

Has anyone tried casting soft plastic swimbaits on heavy jigs for staging salmon or steelhead in big river situations (ie: lower Niagara)? I'm thinking you could throw these anywhere you would cast a 3-way with a Kwikfish or a heavy spoon. I haven't seen much written about such applications but...
