    Round Goby Galore

    I have to say I was looking forward to trying Fresh Water Drum (aka Sheepshead) after watching Italo specifically target them and show how to filet them on a tv show. (I used to catch them all the time as a kid) But now after seeing this and hearing him say Goby's are actually good eating...

Take Northfield out towards Conestogo hang a right onto Sawmill then follow that along into Bloomingdale and hand another right onto Snyder's Flats Rd. (at the baseball diamond). Follow that road...

    fishing humber bay park

    Well that was completely uneventful from a catching or even the possibility of catching something perspective. 5 minutes after I set up and am happily casting away a dude comes within 15 feet of me and starts tossing a tennis ball into the water for his golden retriever to fetch. I give him the...

    fishing humber bay park

    I threw a mepps black fury and a couple of tube jigs in and around the mouth of the park (lake side) for an hour last Thursday and I too was skunked. I even put on a tiny tube and 1/32oz jig to drop between the big rocks thinking panfish would be there but I got zippola. Didn't even see one...

    Fisherman's Bay in Pickering in '13

    Has anyone hit Fisherman's Bay in Pickering this year? I was researching where to catch perch in lake Ontario and one of the locations was Fisherman's Bay. After more research it looks like there is a lot more there than just perch. Pike, Walleye, Lg/Sm mouth Bass, bullheads, etc etc. I'm...

    Sheephead/Sheepshead/Fresh Water Drum anyone?

    I have to agree with you on the fight in the current. I used to fish the grand years ago just south of York where the river breaks into multiple streams. The stream that gets really close to Front St at the first bend was great. I was leery of eating anything from the Grand (or Hamilton...

    Sheephead/Sheepshead/Fresh Water Drum anyone?

    Any particular island or rough location? I have read that they prefer clear water so are they found closer to the open water inlets or just scattered thoughout the inner waterways? If you don't have time to share or don't want to give up your best spots I understand but I'd like to try out the...

    Sheephead/Sheepshead/Fresh Water Drum anyone?

    Just wondering if anyone has targeted Drum in Toronto. If so, where and have you ever tried eating them? Recently I saw a show where Italo Labignan targeted the Drum in Lake Erie (I think) and he said they were very good eating fish. I remember fishing for Bass off the end of the pier in...

    end of humber river

    Marie Curtis park is where Etobicoke creek (the one that snakes through the west side of Pearson International) outlets into Lake Ontario. I went there to see how good/bad the boat launch was last summer. The ramp was brutal and the "river" was indeed just a creek. There was no way I could...

    Fishing around hamilton?

    I grew up in Hamilton in the east end and have fished a few places for bass. Here's my favourite places: 1) Binbrook Conservation Area (aka Lake Niapenco). Fishing with spinners and slow retrieving a worm harness/spinner was good working either side of where the rock piles start by the damn...
