Smokin Joe Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Joey and I got out for about an hour last night to port robinson last night for a quick fish. I wound up catching some rockbass and one small pike. This morning we took a trip down to Fort Erie to try the coal docks near the train bridge. Joey got a few rockbass and bluegill, I got skunked We didn't take any pics as it seems a little boy was playing with the camera and dad had dead batteries It was still great to get out and do some fishing with him.

bigugli Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 The little guy had some fun and he probably put a smile on your face, despite the dead batteries. Enjoy every minute of it . They will grow up ever so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Lots of panfish all around Gibson. Also at Martindale pond by the Timmies. It is shallow and loaded with Gills and rockies plus some nice bass. Great for the kids. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Walk straight from the parking lot across the lawn to the willow trees. Cast a bobber just past the weeds. To the right toward the grandstand there is a small platform as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Sounds like you are making some wonderful memories, not only for you but for your kids... well done! Look forward to reading the next post, where they are holding up all the fish they caught with huge smiles on their faces! Cheers, Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 About the pond at the grandstands.........There are about 6 steel posts in the water on the same side as the grandstands .There is a cable attached to each post which runs a few feet off the bottom towards each lane for the rowers . Even a float can hang up on the cables , so I would be careful of the cables , especially if you hook a nice fish . The opposite side is free of cables , but you need to throw your lines over over the weeds that line the shore . I would use a float .....water is about 10' deep just beyond the weed line . Good luck . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmucciarelli Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 had a great day with the kids yesterday. The kids caught many fish, all way under 1lb of course. But they had fun. I'd post pictures but i can't seem to get them off my camera with the new computer. I'll post when I fix the problem. Thanks to all for the wonderful advice. It really helped make their day.

NBA Just in case most new camera's will show up as storage devices, so you don't need to worry about the software. Just plug them in and most new computers will find them as storage devices. Just thought it may help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
