A first for me. Used a few different lures and had one hit. Decided to use my #5 Vibrax which doesn't get much use. First cast fish on, a sheephead of all things. Well at least I know I won't have the white stripe today. Second cast same area, pike on, nice size as well. A few more casts and nothing. Moved around using different lures, after a half hour, back to the earlier spot, and yep, put the Vibrax back on. Few casts later another pike. Nice I thought. Few more casts yet another pike. Feeling pretty good, that's for sure. Decided to change

Are the largies still aggressive on frogs this time of year? Love froggin early season but the ponds i fish got too grown in this summer. Wanted to give it a go now that the pads have died but too busy steelheading since september. Few from last couple days before the rains..

Good luck to all the deer hunters on here..be safe and shoot straight and post some pics of your harvest...I will be working hard to get my 16 yr old daughter her first buck with her compound bow...she's picked one particular buck we have on camera she would like at shot at and here he is in velvet (only a 3 yr old )

Agreed! I’ve spent a considerable amount of time reading into this. Farmed salmon is actually higher in toxins and antibiotics than wild. Since fish is a regular part of my families diet , I want to make sure what we’re ingesting in the best for us. There’s a reason why farmed fish is cheaper. Prime example look at tilapia, you can buy it for next to nothing at grocery stores and a lot of times is on special at restaurants. I absolutely will not buy farmed fish. I’ll eat A salmon out of Lake Ontario way before I’ll buy farmed salmon. Will also taste way better !

I bet there’s some dying black salmon making its way through some sushi dishes as of recently 😯.

The Buffalo fish as most know, belong to the sucker family and are a native North American species. Common telling sign is ' no ' whiskers, whereas carp have them. Now the question is, is this a big or small mouth Buffalo sucker. Any help distinguishing between the two would be appreciated Weighed in at 19 lbs

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. 2020 has been a very bizarre year, but still lots to be thankful for. Have a great day all.

Been fishing my usual spots this season and not doing too well. So I decided something needs to change. Guys that have been doing well this year are prebaiting spots before they fish them. So i decided I’m going to bait a new swim for the month of October and really only fish here. Second time baiting it and first time fishing it and the alarm is going off. Nice fight no long runs and staying down I was thinking this better not be a Cat. 11lb4oz common. Not the biggest fish but nice when something works out. Looking forward to fishing here the rest of the month and hopefully a couple more

Nice looking carp smerch. Not sure about the skeleton but maybe you can put it on your front porch for Halloween.

I teach the courses. right now I’m doing several for the Dunnville Hunters and Anglers club, and I also team teach w my partner at our club in Ft. Erie, but we won’t be doing any there until at least November.

To keep with the fall spirit....wifey poo decided we are going to a last minute Halloween thingy.....and to boot..was dressing up ....I didn't know this until about an hour ago literally......her costume little did I know was minnie mouse.....so I scrambled into her craft room and came up with this... hahaha

Well , the two pikateers were at it today ! The pike were really avoiding the canoe as they saw the smerch was there !! The knightfisher hooked into a nice one on cast # 567 , a nice 26" er ! As I was approaching my 1000th cast after trying every lure in my arsenal , I finally hooked into one ....for a few seconds , and off it went (felt like a 20 lb.ski ) ...still waiting for the shot I took for Mr. Knightfisher . ..... ( pike whisperer) ) Beauty day , lots of wind , leaves on the water and beautiful colours !!

Are you sure about that? Think about the farmed salmon environment, what they're fed and what their overall health detriments are like. Kind of like basa (super cheap fish). Research it and see why. 🤢

Orange or pink is best for my eyes. Anything green or yellow washes out in the sun.

Hey everyone! Had some lucky days this season. Hoping to hit the river sooner than later. All the best!

As I lifted her out of the net she shook and sent me a face full of eggs which were spewing out of her if I tipped her tail downwards. Can’t say I’ve ever had that happen before!!

Water was very high & fast & about 1 ft. viz. , using 2 oz. of lead but changing currents still moved weight about ....using corn bags for carp ,then shrimp for channels , or anything else . It got very noisy down there as several big jet liners passed by just above the clouds about 5 minutes apart . That spot is usually clean of garbage but some trashy people left their mark behind today ....couldn't stand to leave it so cleaned it up when I left . The main parking lot at Glendale has been closed ...looks permanent as a result of the oil that was dumped there .... But I came ho

How the heck will I know when to change out my smoke detector batteries???? LOL ........................Daniel

Almost time for me to start fishing again....lol...nice bass by the way....I myself love the cold water fishing not really a summer time thing around niagara for me....cant wait for some crusher steelie fishing will be getting a good winter of that in for sure....

I post occasionally , been chasing carp mostly , but not many interested in carp ...going to fish the 12 Mile tomorrow since we have a break in the weather . I set up my minnow tank , will be chasing minnows soon and doing some float fishing for pike for a change ........and then ........ hope to get an early start on the ice ! BTW ....real nice bucket !

OK. I’ll play.... You already know what I do though... Salmon in the pool on spoons and spinners last 4 weeks. Will now move on to float fishing for salmon in the pool as the bite has changed predominantly to beads or roe. Once November arrives it’ll be steelie time where I will float fish, bottom bounce from shore, and by the sounds of it, bottom bounce from a boat on lucky days! 🙂

Some nice pictures I got while checking my game camera this weekend .

The farmers used to dump smelts under their fruit trees back in the 50's . I would rather see them incinerated .......or sent to China (more meat than bats) ...... 🤐

Or you will realize you don't need to shop at Costco.

So now at least you know what gets the fish to bite.....just keep doing all 3!! 😉

Seems all they want is the license fee .... The first page of the regulations book should "try" to educate the morons who leave their trash all over the place !! Fines should start at $500 !

We also need to get the other cormmorants under control as well. The human ones. I see them almost everyday taking fish regardless of size or species. You call the Ministry but there is no size limit on these fish and by the time the ministry gets around to checking. Well all the evidnce is gone. Time for size limits on Perch and Bass. Just my 2 cents. As for the feathered cormorants. Please after you shoot them be a good guy and dispose of them and not leave a mess.

We went to lake nippising this summer. We almost exclusively used vibrax spinners (gold, silver, red) and absolutely cleaned up on the pike. Amazing lures, the pike just eat them up!

One carp and one sucker. The sucker, to be posted in the fishing forum soon, is an interesting one

At the pool the other morning I was 65% sure I saw a trout jump. But that also leaves me 45% unsure.

With those high prices,😱 I think I'd buy a cottage, only thing, a cottage is work weekends.

Congrats! We got one bull on our archery hunt. 37 inches . We saw a few more but didn't get them in. With the changing of the tag system I am not optimistic about our chances for tags next year.

I hate winter, dark at 5pm sucks.

For me to justify those prices it really depends how much are you going to use it and if it ticks all the boxes for what you need. To me its too much money for something I don't own.

If it’s a conservation issue call MNR tip line. If it’s trespassing call the police. FYI the tip line works. I called it and the officer was there in 30 minutes and issued all fines and no warnings for using 3 and 4 rods and another for no license.

Saw 5 does, 20 turkeys, and a coyote this morning, but none close enough for a shot. a nice (but cool) morning to be out!

Just got back from a morning hunt after working midnights, saw 2 does maybe 200 yards out, and saw a Turkey also, not a bad start I'd say.

It was so nice to fish today without the blazing heat ! I packed up the carp gear & headed to Rennie . First spot ...2 hrs. and no action (zero) ! Moved to another spot ...chummed with oat/cream corn/maize packbait with some scatterings of maize ....4o minutes later , the alarm screemed & away we go !! It went way over to my right into weeds ...couldn't budge it ...let off a little slack ....it came out & headed to the center ...felt like a whopper ....strong fish ! Wanted to weigh it but my scale flunked out ....some where in the double digits between 10 & 99 lbs . It wa

I see your point smerch lets hope that don't happen lets hope that if they are going kill the birds that they disposed of them right way

Wow!!! You guys pounded, respect!

Goes to show you Smerch how many pigs🐷 live amongst us. Coodoes to you for cleaning after these slobs.👍 No wonder they close up places.

Nice hog

5 minutes from my house so I'm looking forward to it as well.

Great pics....................You had a great day out on the water''''

I have seen a pair of them spend hours in a marina and watched them devour many perch . Some were passing over me yesterday , a few at a time , coming from the area where you were fishing Dan . Some good points there .... keeping big hen perch full of eggs doesn't help the numbers either .... I saw a guy last week with 6-7 gobies in a small bucket of water ....destined for his dinner table ? ....another beef I have with our MNR that hands out licenses to one and all , regardless of their lack of knowing the regs.

Good you went out. Beauty day for fishing. Its not over yet.

Thought you might enjoy the picture of my buddy's successful moose hunting trip last week near Cochrane. moosehunt.zip

This happened (on a smaller scale) to my step father.. a 45 gal barrel of wine in the basement (new house) blew out one of the stringer boards because a grape skin plugged the plastic air exhaust hose that went into a jar of water . He was at work when he got the call that wine was running across the basement into the drain .....He "flew" home from work ( 10 minutes) and was able to save about 30 gal. ....put into demi-johns . ....sweetest smelling basement in town !

"As a hunter"....most likely not a hunter. Most likely not a hunter, nor a well informed one. On another note, dozens o cormorants where seagulls usually are on Martindale Pond, isn't good news for the fish population. Should be interesting when ice fishing comes around and how many perch (for example) will be around.
