mikeymikey Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks for the tip on replacing belly hook with a bell sinker. Never even thought of that. How about a trailer hook on the tail ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest canada Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 It's never to late for pier fishing, sometimes midwinter can be hot off the end end of the pier, drifting for steel only untill the 20' high ice mountain forms With all the reponses we could start a new forum Pier Fishing.net ........it would be a pretty disappointing forum,lots of tears on it this year : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest canada Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Fifteen.........fifteen salmon is all I landed this season.............I've had better NIGHTS than that every season for the last decade. Haven't picked up a rod in a week......I've lost the will to fish I know what your saying I gave up on the pier thing myself 2 weeks ago, and I'm currently giving up on the harbour bite aswell. There's fish around but no where close to the #'s of past years, crapy pier fish'in means crapy river or harbour fish'n! The MNR has finnally reached it's goal of the end to Pacific salmon fishing in Ontario, another blunder to add to the many from the idiots in charge of our resource Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLofchik Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I don't know if I'd go as far as that. This year class should be as large as last years, there was no drastic change in stocking #'s. And there has been some good runs in the eastern creeks......but I'm not going to lower myself to river fishing. They just never showed up infront of western piers. Maybe they found the Atlantics secret hideout.....I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymikey Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thinking of trying some river fishing for the very very first time. Where would be the best store to buy me a rod with following spec ? 11'6"~13'6" length (must be 3 pieces, i believe most of akuma are 3 pcs?) MediumLight ~ Light Power, faster action the better? Prefer it to be a sliding reel seat. gonna use spinning reel but i still want a sliding. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen people do it on TV. I think it's great idea... don't see why you gotta use a centerpin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Check Pete's out they have a bunch available to fit most budgets! For bottom bouncing I prefer 10.5', med-light, mod/fast action Loomis has a great one for around $280.00. You can get somthing comparable alot cheaper but fishing the Loomis is a sweet deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest canada Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Fish just started staging off the Canal last week, some guys out in there boats saw large schools of Chinnies off the Piers and the Welland Canal. The harbour is starting to fill up with fresh run fish aswell. So in answer to the question I guess sept was to early for the pier the fish are in now, better late then never Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymikey Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 What type of bait & lures works best to catch those brown trouts? size info would be good too. Would a 3" Gulp Minnow under a float work well for browns? Someone told me that salted minnow works great for browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymikey Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Well... This thread had a very good run! Unlike salmon runs. I guess we'll put this thread a side until next season and start the same thing all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest canada Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 The salmon are starting to get the ole mud shark look now, black and ugly.time to switch over to trouts.......and a few perchies soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodoljunx Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Is it too late for Pier fishing with glowspoons or its still producing? I see they have darkened up, with thier tails and fins turning white but I still come across some healthy ones a few times. I might have seen a few browns too! maybe. So, I'm guessing the bows are comning soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RogerR Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Wanted to keep this one going. I'm wondering about bows or browns off Bronte pier. Is the pier fishing really dead or is there a time coming up where one might be successful? I tried a couple times a month ago for salmon and it was really dead. Another question about my presentation as I had 3 1. tossing glow spoons (night) Cleos (day) 2. rig with a barrel swivel. One end with my main & sinker line (3 ft) the other with 3 inches of mono and a bag or mallow 3. Slip bob with the stopper arouod 10ft Any suggestions would be great as I have not caught a fish yet....can't say I've tried much...but not a fish yet.

Hacknslash Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Roger I have no clue about the browns at Bronte...but I do know the browns are in at 50 point. I want to go to Jordan and see if they are at the bridge yet also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
