Pleasant afternoon at Keswick

[Tall Bhai]

Hey guys,

I went up to Keswick after getting out of work early this past Friday and spent till about 7pm. It was shorefishing off a park on Lake SImcoe with worms. I caught a range of panfish from small ones to ones the size of my hand. It was extremely weedy but a good habitat.

A few minutes before I left I decided to cast into a a really far open spot infront of me. After about 5-10 seconds I see the bobber take a huge plunge down and I felt a strong pull. When i reeled it in I was surprised. It was a bass, I'd estimate around 3lbs.

The biggest fish I ever caught till date, LOL

Nice fish - very clean. They only get bigger

Sweet catch bro!

 

[Shawarma]

Awesome looking, bass man!

 

[Christopheraaron]

Nice! I'd say closer to a pound but still nice!

 

[Tall Bhai]

I took the picture to close up that why it doesnt appear to have the weight. Maybe not 3lbs maybe 2lbs. I really have to buy a scale. Anyways that the first time I reeled in a 'monster' that size LOL. I almost got a mini-heart attack LOL.

You're an angler, upping the weight is not only normal, it's to be expected. We don't respect those who haven't learned to properly fib. Next thing to learn is how to take pictures that make them look larger.

Im Sorry? Don't say 'we' dont respect, just say you don't. Other people will speak for themselves. Also yes I estimated, I caught some 1-2 lb bass before with my friends before. This definitely didnt feel like what Ive caught before. Like I said I didnt have a scale, and If I did I wouldve weighed it and gotten the exact weight irregardless is Im right or wrong. You may be more experinces than me that fine, I dont really care. I only gotten into fishing since about a year now. No need for you to come on so mean.

Easy brah, we're all friends here. Dave was kidding around. Don't take yourself so seriously. Learn to take a joke.

Judging by this post, I'm not sure if you know what "respect" is... here is a clue: respect is not trying to make somebody afraid of you. Tough talk online or in person is a good way to loose friends before you make them.

Nice fish BTW.

Peace.

Hi Shiner Minnow - What park was this in Keswick? I'd like to take the kiddies up this week and it would be helpful to have a spot instead of driving around.

Does anyone know of a decent marina that rents reliable boats for a few hours?

Thx

I dont know about marina's but this was off lake simcoe in a park called Adeline Park. Shore Fishing is limited for lake simcoe and since ice fishing gets so busy there actually trying to limit it more. This park is nice and open but it is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY weedy. Theres also parking right by the park as well.

Adeline Park is here: 44.197299,-79.479848 Roadside parking, but it looks quite wide and safe, and a couple of porta-potties.

Thanks for the details GTRamo and Dave...! Always looking for some fishing spots for the kids. If there are any other decent locations not too far out of the GTA, please let me know. Doesn't matter on the size, so long as there is action the kids will be happy. Cheers!

Fishing in the GTA is not that good. If you want to get some good fishing I'd suggest driving out. I go to Peterborough alot and fish and source of water I see in the area with great success. If you just want some fun for your kids that is a very good area, very healthy and productive. Im going there in 2 weeks for camping plus fishing. So excited!

I never tried the Toronto Islands but I heard its a really good place to fish as well. You can catch alot of panfish and pike I believe. Not too sure.
