Struggling to catch a REAL fish in Durham

[ShouldaUsedaLiter]

Down at the rouge there is a pond-like area covered in Lilly pads and is nice to start on some local bass. Shore fishing this year had been dead at the rouge, at least for me. But I know a guy that goes in his kayak and catches lots of bass. If your boat is small enough to launch down there I would give it a try. Plus its close.

Why go to a nuclear plant to fish when you can go to a beautiful spot that doesn't hook you up with mr. cancer.

throw a senko on, cast out, reel in fish, repeat.

well tchnically speaking the powerplant is just emitting a warm outflow from the water which was heated in the reactor chambers, its not however dangerous to you

Hello everyone,

I am a newbie. I love to fish and this year I really got myself geared up. Even bought a little boat and trolling motor (some might call it a 'dingy'). The sad part about my story is that I HAVE YET TO CATCH A SINGLE FISH WORTH MENTIONING. It's honestly depressing. Up until today I have only caught tiny sunfish and one micro sized small mouth bass that I could have used as bait. I have read all about fishing techniques, when to fish, what to fish etc., but what I dont know is if Im fishing in the right bodies of water.

I have been spending most of my time at Frenchmans bay in pickering because its close, I can easily launch my boat, and it seems to have the right conditions for good bass fishing.

I did Duffins creek once or twice, without success...though I dont know what kind of fish are in those waters and I have been mostly looking for bass.

Can someone point me in some type of direction here? Help a girl out!


Gratefully yours,

:mellow: (stumped)

Cheers and good luck !
