519crankin Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Hi members. I'm not looking for any of your "Honey Holes". I'm just looking for a place to fish on shore in the Bronte/St Catharines region (or anywhere on Lake Ontario shoreline) to fish for salmon. I'm coming up from the Windsor area, late evening/early night this coming Saturday. Also, can I park anywhere without worrying about getting a ticket?

Port_D_Guy Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Start with Google Maps with terrain features. Any outflows have potential. Still early. Need that big cool rain. smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
519crankin Posted September 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 I forgot to mention, looking for shoreline LEGAL spots to fish for salmon at night. Ive been seeing one too many posts that mention "No Fishing" signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port_D_Guy Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Lots of public access. Just have to mindful of the regs south of QEW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t really need the rain the will will come in close either way. Only need rain for them to go up creeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you’ll find much more than what I told ya. I think I told ya every spot from bronte to Dalhousie. If you wanna travel more east or south I can give you a few more places to fish. Bring the yak and get away from the circus on the piers looking forward to your report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

519crankin Posted September 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 I wish I could bring the kayak. Unfortunately I can only fish from Sat evening and throughout the night. I'll only kayak during daylight hours as I'm not yet rigged for night time, and I'm almost positive I won't last until sunrise. looks like Saugeen is about the same distance from me.

iscoDisco Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 If you can bring your kayak, go to Bronte Harbour with your spoon or J13. It's prime time there now. I hardly skunked at sunrise and sunset time. From the end of September, all the shoreline including Jordan harbour, Port Dalhousie, and Niagara river is prime time. After mid October through November, you will meet zombie salmons which is not enjoyable to hook. Tyler0420 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelshady Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 They shut the water on the 12! Super low and great for bass and pike fishing now! Since water is off, there is no flow in the harbor pushing salmon back deeper in the lake, need another strong North wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

519crankin Posted September 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Didnt make it out, despite all the planning and effort. Last minute changes. You look like you did well. That king you caught this weekend was a monster. Tyler0420 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Congrats Tyler , that is a NICE chinny ! I hear they put out a great fight .(almost as good as a carp) , but a little better eating...... While visiting my sis yesterday I checked out the 12 , just around the corner , and I see the water was still very low and clear . As was stated , a good time to toss some lures or corn .
