Hey all, Found this monstrosity someone had snagged in a tree this afternoon and was wondering if it is fixable or useable at all.

The lip of the minnow is broken off and missing (my guess is the weight had something to do with it) but was wondering is there is a way to fix it or if it is useable in it’s current state,

Cheers

Been looking at these for a while now but $140+ was too much for something that might pop (even though I've watched all the Youtube content on them and they're dependable). Just ordered one to be here on Wednesday for $85. Figured there must be a few others here who have had it on the radar, so I'd let em know. Cheers!

Hi all, with the temperatures hovering below freezing (-5C to 2C), is it too cold for steelhead fishing (Bowmanville region) or can you still fish for them in deeper pools?

The fishing community lost a great one today. I never got to meet the man but I loved watching all their videos and learned lots from this man. May our hearts and prays go out to his family in friends in this hard time

RIP Galo Just found out that he died unexpectedly. Does any one know what happened? This guy was awesome. I would watch his fishing videos all the time.

Heading over to Belleville this weekend. Can you catch anything from shore this time of year?

Not askin for your honey holes just some tips

Cheers

I am looking for recommendations for ice fishing on Lake Simcoe. I am looking for a 6 man sleeper hut where we can stay on the ice for the weekend. Our previous outfitter seems to no longer be in business. Thanks!

Hey all, I moved to SW Ontario this past spring, and I've managed to get Channel Cats figured out pretty well. I'd like to get a handle on the Walleye and White Bass fisheries in this area. My boat is not an option, so I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on getting bit from shore. Port Burwell is my nearest Erie spot, but I'm plenty willing to travel moderate distances. Most of my fishing opportunities happen in the dark too...

Hi everyone, thanks for answering my questions on where to locate trout and which leaders to use. Its come to my attention that I might be using too big a hook on my bead/roe setup. I've been using size 6 Mustaad hooks. Is this too big? Which size is more appropriate?

Thanks for the help!

Let’s ear everyone’s opinions!

Out for a Sunday stroll and I got bit by a tic!

Please try to stay away and not fish directly in front of the decoys when people are duck hunting. You are not at risk of getting shot but it would be bad when your shiney 250 merc meets a 1/2" lobster cage rope in the water.

The spot you are trying to fishing had people walking around in for hours setting up decoys, been shot at when swatting cripples and had boats run up and down picking up birds. Its not gonna be great for the next few hours. Just try to stay 50-100 yds away and no one will need to try to tow your shiney rocket back in a jonboat when your motor is fubar.

I have about 5k +/- I am willing to spend... Thinking a 16'...20-30hp... With trailer.

That's about all I know what I'm after.

What brands should I stay away from? What should I be looking for?

Mainly bass fishing, a bit of trolling...

I want a wider body, but something sturdy so I am thinking v haul.

Would be mainly fishing rivers and smaller lakes. But mostly will be anchoring or drifting.

Will be 1-3 in the boat typically, up to 4 once a year type thing.

I’m in the Niagara region and I legit haven’t caught a sport fish from shore in like half a decade. None of my spots that used to produce show any signs that there’s even fish there anymore. Other spots are just constantly rammed with anglers to the point that I’m basically rubbing shoulders with strangers when fishing. It’s basically dampened my desire to go out much, and unless I’m in my kayak or have access to a boat I pretty much never go fishing anymore. I’m not asking for the location of anyones honey holes or anything, but is it actually possible to catch anything other than carp from shore around here?

Hi everyone,

I posted a few days ago about locating trout in rivers. Thanks for all the advice. I was able to locate some rainbows and browns in deeper pockets as per your suggestions. However, they weren't biting at all on my bead + roe bag set up. Anyone face sth similar and can offer suggestion on what to do next? Does this happen often?

I switched to a few bead colours (red/orange/light pink) but nothing worked.

I am using a 8lb flouro leader (3.5 feet) + see through floater

This is my first season trout fishing so just trying to figure stuff out. Appreciate all the help.

Went for a walk down a trail today along the river on a spot that’s well known for brown trout. I am in zone 16 and brown trout are currently out of season in most water bodies.

Saw an angler on the river fishing in rapids with a really thin leader and a small panther Martin. I told him trout were out of season, and he replied that he was fishing for bass (which he clearly wasent). He also told me regardless of what he would catch, he wouldent keep anything. I believe this since he didint have a stringer or cooler or anything.

Would this be considered poaching if you target a specific fish without the intent of keeping it? I was always under the impression you couldent try to catch certain fish when they are out of season, but some others there were adamant about only not being able to keep those fish.

I also understand how you can’t always control what you catch. Using a mep or a spoon, a bass would certainly eat the lure if they were in the area. Not exactly sure if they were right or not. Wondering what you guys think
