richardl33 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Oh that's nothing, my worst streek is 25 skunks in a row without landing a fish, caught a few but lost them at the shore. I had not landed a fish since November last year, this is my worst winter ever. I finally ended my bad streek last sunday on Lake Erie when i went perch fishing and got about a dozen big ones and lots of little ones, but the other 2 guys in the boat caught more than me and still made fun of me. I've also been to saint john's and the guy next to me was catching tons of little trouts and i wasn't even getting a bite, that is frustrating. fishing has been slow this year unless you want to go for catfish or carp which i don't fish. Jordan was my spot for trout fishing but with the new rules i lost my favorite trout spot and is forced to fish the niagara and have caught a few but can never land them. Don't give up, take a break for a few weeks if you half to and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huey graphite Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 This is a funny thread. I feel for you. My luck is not any better. I do have a couple of questions. What is the significance of the banana comment? Secondly, I've heard about St. John's before. Is this in Fonthill? After several years of persuasion, I finally got my 20yr old stepson interested in fishing but each time we go out we get skunked. I'm afraid he will become quickly discouraged and give up. St. John's might be a good idea if the chance of success is good. Can any of you provide me info? Thanks in advance. HG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardl33 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 That was 25 times in a row, not 25 weeks, some weeks i fished more than once, other weeks i just stayed home. I did get some bites in that time, even hooked a trout and brought it to shore only to loose it, i also got some rockbass and gobies but that don't count.

Montreuil Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I've been skunked all year aswell, not counting the 2 perch I caught ice fishing at Binbrook. So I had to go to the Brock Quarry to nab a catfish just to get myself on the board for the year. Nothing since then though... But I love every minute of it regardless!

JayB Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 If you got it to shore I'd count it. Call it a quick release! when i get them within 15' of the boat, its a catch, however if they let go within that distance, its called a "long distance release" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Joe Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 oh SURE.. blame it on the rod never the fisherman LOLbet ya can feel those snags better eh Joe? No way Cliff it's definately the fisherman the rod is great. I've caught a few fish on it just not trout I've even hooked into a couple of musky while fishing a jig. Had the drag set a little to tight wasn't expecting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
