first pike of the season and my first ever!!

[prime89]

So me and my wife and one of my friends, just wanted to get out on Sunday. No plan on fishing, but me being the fishaholic I grabbed my tackle box n rods and tossed em in the back ( good move )

We ended up driving by the spot so we thought we would try... Fee other people were catching some decent ones, we were chuckin daredevils from shore, and about 20 min...bang!! ..actually I thought I snagged..the wind and current helped bring it right to shore..no fight at all..fought more when it was out the water lol.
But awsum day..been waiting and researching

dude the fish was huge...just yesterday i was out again..and me and this older guy kinda started talking and fishing together...he landed a nice 12lber. Pike are there..only going to get better.

oh yeah it was lake ontario..off shore..very nice spot...i can pm you the place or ne one else..who is willing to meet up and fish together..would be nice..fishing alone is fun..but more fun with others who enjoy it as well.

I am going out today again..i have a few days off..so if anyone wants to meet up there..if your in markham or scarborough..i can pick u up if need be. will be fishing from around..1 pm..to sunset...

If you are looking for a fishing buddy downtown let me know! I only move to Canada a little over a year ago from Scotland, so i dont really have anyone to go fishing with.

I am based at Queen and Broadview, so anywhere that the TTC goes I can meet you at

 

[prime89]

^ yea sure G

I've never been to downtown for pike fishing yet, I don't know the spots and to be honest I'm always lost when ever I go downtown haha.. but Im in.. we can plan somn. Cus another member pmd me bout fishibg together downtown I believe..

Well buddy just let me know. I am by no means an expert, mostly I fished with a mate of mine over the last 2 or 3 years, but we didnt get out that much....or catch that much!
I am looking to learn alot and get out to catch ANY fish...but pike is what we fished for back home, so thats why I kinda like to catch em.

 

[evanm]

Very nice Pike! Congrats on the catches!

 

[prime89]

Oh ya same here, this is my actual first season pike fishing with luck..last few years non at all but did learn a lot...n still am.. alright cool.
Did u want to fish downtown? Do u knw spots there? or if u can cme to scarborough town centre...I can pick u from there..n go somewhere around here...n drop u back too. I hav no prob at all. Just depends on when wer both free I guess

I am pretty sure I can get out to Scarborough.....I think the TTC will get me close to there.

This weekend I was hoping to head over to the island, but i am on call so might have to bin that till next week....rubbish! So the alternative is to go the harbour front on Sunday. That will be my plan.

 

[prime89]

Oh yeah definitely..its a straight ride on the subway.. I remember I used to ttc it to gerrard n broadview. Weekend I have work..kinda sucks...I might go tommorow..take the wife with me also lol..

Great fish!! I live in Ajax area and would love to catch a fish like that near me. We usually get pike in the Thousand Islands area but it's a long drive. I would like to send you a PM to find out where you were but since I am new to this forum, I haven't figured out how.

 

[MichaelVerdirame]

Awesome pictures of an awesome fish! Nice going!

Just wanted to say thanks to prime89 for introducing me to some great fishing near home. Have been here for 15 years and never really knew this fishing existed. It was nice to put a face to the name since we bumped into each other tonight at the spot. I caught a 5 lb pike across the way but that was it for the afternoon. No camera ready and it was released so no pic but was nice to catch the first soft water fish of the year. Will definitely be back again, maybe the rest of next week if the temps are up. At least it is lighter later and get some fishing in after work.
