smerchly Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 We may need to send some guys some directions . Remember the Forks Rd.bridge is closed to all traffic . I'm not sure myself where the 2000 km marker is ...checked Google maps and can see some white markers which may be 2k from the boat club .... I will be there later in the a.m. ....a little early for this old dude .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwl1 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Maybe whomever posted that meant the 200... not thousand....if it is 2000...that's sounds pretty far away from where I want to fish...Haha.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys is there another way of naming this place we’re meeting at? Do I just type in 2000 marker on google maps and it will bring me there?? It's actually the finish line, it's right next to the bridge mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fish at the end of Kingsway Rd. a few km south of the John Deer plant ...parking at the circle at the end of the road . ....much more than 2000 meters . I think there's more parking there . ...a short bank ,then fish straight out from the vehicles. Same bottom & depth as at the Forks Rd. bridge . Lets pick a spot and meet up .... ...Did a line measurement on Navigator Maps .....from the boat club to the point at the new canal it read 4000 meters ....(4 kms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJR Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 I agree Bill. The end of the Kingsway is generally better fishing and easier access for us older guys. there also is plenty of parking . I generally fish from the rowers start line to the starch plant depending on ice conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyv Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Not sure if anybody realized this yet.. but, the 16th falls on Family Day weekend (Feb 16-18) which is the first of the four times of the year that doesn't require a fishing license. So if you're one of those people who waits until Spring to get their fishing license, you can also take advantage of this event and learn to ice fish. Or even bring a family member and introduce them to the sport. Hope this info gets more people out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishingking Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Im up for whatever guys providing im available that particular day but a couple different opinions on where we should fish have been mentioned.as long as theres room to park as many vehicles without issues (tickets!)and snow plowed parking in case weather sucks for those that dont have 4 wheel drive there shouldnt be any other concerns that need to be adressed .ice conditions should hopefully be prime for this event.lets get the location locked down by one of the regulars that fish that area (info wise i mean ).gladly share any equipment or wisdom lol upon request.itll be a great day boys.lets get some kids hooked too!

You never know what's in the river there...I hooked something one day that nearly broke a heavy action rod. .fought it for over a half hour before it got off . ....I do believe they are still trying to do a study on whether or not fish can pass through the aqueduct to the other side......I was involved for a couple years on the walleye restoration/restocking project there and I believe that the mnr wants reports if any walleye are caught on the port robbie side......now back to our regularly scheduled program....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I would imagine that there are some lunker carp there . Were you using corn Jack ? Salmon have been spotted on the north side of the rec. from the old docks at Town Line Road . They make their way in via the new canal . To stock other fish species in that part would be based on bait fish . The Dain side (south) has a good supply of minnows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwl1 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 It weren't no carp or musky....I've caught plenty big ones of those to know what they fight like.....it was big enough to bend a heavy action rod right down to the handle was bent......my guess and others who where watching was a sturgeon.....either that or it was the drain plug...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a big old 25 lb. cat ?.......ahah ! Could be anything in there from Lake O. to Lake E. The last sturgeon I caught broke water twice before going back home to bottom . The last one I "hooked" took me for a long walk before I held the line tight before spooling my reel , or should that be "de-spooling" my reel....
