pike007 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'd like to do some fishing for Walley from kayak.Is there any good place on lake Erie to start with? Thanks I would say if your going to hit up erie with a kayak stay close to shore, probably wont get much walleye , but I could see you doing well for smallies and maybe pike. Try around marines and areas where your not gonna get alot of waves, I know erie on some days can be very very windy and choppy once you get out there. Remember where a life jacket and be safe. I seen people fishing in 2 ft of water on the beaches later in evenings getting there limits on smallies. 007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a 9' White River Firehole its rated for class 2 rapids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoeBaggin Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hey Chilli, what kind of yak do you have? I was looking at a bunch and thought they would be good to go out in erie with. Malibou and Hobie were a couple I had looked into. Some even show people standing in their yaks. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name i cant think of at the moment, but i know its in port colbourne right off the highway, come to a dead end road and make a right and go down and theres a beach, i think its a bit private , but i dont think anyone would complain if you go around 730-8 ish. Alot of american cottagers in the area so they really dont say much since they are in Canada after all. 007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike007 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 haha now the name poped in my head, Cedar bay beach, off cedar bay road. off highway #3 007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 BTW I'd never go out far in a canoe. Just not the same as a kayak! Kayaks are great and easy to launch anywhere. I will stick to my canoe however. I stay dry, can stand in mine though I don't do much of that, can take two extra people along, and when and if I get tired of paddling, I just use my 38lb thrust trolling motor to get me around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Andrews Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 My point was if you want to fish in Lake Erie with a car topper, a kayak is much safer in choppy waters than a canoe. Now if your in the creeks well that's a different story. Lake Erie and canoes don't mix. At least not far from shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Yes agreed. Waves and canoes don't get along. RB canadian tire has a sale on kayaks this week. Eco hope you get into some walleye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hula Popper Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 This is my new ride, I was thinking of hitting up Lake Ont. around Bronte Harbor tonight for some Salmon fishing. You think this would hold up in Erie, I think it would. Check out the Video I shot while I was at mountsberg, no fish just boat. I have a trolling motor for it as well and YES you can stand on it, it has a built in standing plateforum that is super sturdy. You sit about 2 feet off the water so there's lots of room under you. Sorry about my finger guys, didnt realize till I edited the film... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Push Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 The platform is made for ponds. Your problem is wind. It will blow you off and turn upsde down. Be very carefull using it on Ontario, Erie or any othe bigger lake. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Push Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Thank you all for good advice. I'm definitely planning to fish Welland river. I was at Crystal beach today but for some strange reason fish didn't want to jump in the kayak??? I think I was too fast. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very carefull using it on Ontario, Erie or any othe bigger lake.Thanks Thanks for the heads up Eco, but I was out on Lake Ontario last night for about 2 hour's and had no trouble at all. Grant you the lake was pretty calm, I launched out of Bronte and headed out just past the light house and trolled all along the shore. THE SALMON ARE IN GUYS......... I dont think I would take it out if the weather was bad but on a calm night it sure beats fishing arm to arm from shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
