spanky Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 After a discussion in previous weeks about fishing under the QEW on the 20 mile and no one really having an answer, i thought i'd call and ask before i got in any trouble.... well, it seems astho you CAN'T fish under the QEW.... which is where most fish... so when they say "QEW to Lake Ontario" that means the QEW is the invisible boundary.... good to know, thought i'd share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanky Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 i thought it was interesting and didn't think too many peole knew about it 'cause that's where all the people tend to fish is under the bridge.... heard a fwe gyus talking about it one day while i was down there so thought i'd find out for sure... As for the perch fishing at the beacon..... think i'm gonna give it a go with minnows in a 'lil bit, of course i'll have wifey with me so we won't get too far out on those rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya my wife too LOVES that rocky climb LOL... 3373[/snapback] where abouts? i've heard of people getting them by the ship, but i have a hard understanding why they'd be in so shallow.... it's only a couple feet deep there.... are there fish there? anywhere where i don't have to listen to the wifey's potty mouth, but can catch fish? (not too far out on the rocks? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigfishbass Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 right by the ship... cast out to the left of the propeler of the ship and you should be fine... just dont snaged on the prop. LOL I have seen the in the very shallow water too... lots of weeds there....when we were there, there was a few guys that canoed onto the boat and were cast from there, getting crazy bites.... but that is a no no...being on the boat. Let me know when you planning to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PickerelHunter Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Like Bigfishbass said, I've been out to the beacon on a few occasions. The best day was last week sometime, sunny and using minnows, caught at least 10-15 perch, not too big, but perch nonetheless. Then I went the next day, wind blowing in a different direction and no sun, and no bites either. Only caught one tiny perch but also hooked a 15 inch rainbow which kinda made the day pretty good. I was just casting off the rocks out towards the boat. minnows on a #8 hook, about foot and a half up a split shot, then another foot and a half a bobber. ALso tried without the bobber and same luck, but tougher to feel the bites. I might go out a bit further next time where it's deeper, maybe some nicer sized ones out there. Anyways, good luck and maybe we'll see you sunday, we'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of nice size perch to be caught. I was with maz last year and caught one 15 inches long we let that one go nd ate the rest. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
