    We attemted to move the site to a new host last night. As you can tell something went wrong during the transition and it created a db error. We have switched back to the original host until we can get the issue resolved. It could take 24 to 48 hours for the dns to catch up.

    I am sorry for any inconvenyence

    Hey Guys and Gals. After talking with some of you on fishchat, I realize some of you have made the trek to Canada to fish..

    Here is a link to Power Boat requirements on Canadian waterways. The rules are probably similar to the U.S. rules.

    If you are making the trek, read thru so you dont have any problems on your fishing trip.

    Gas Bills

    Look at the price of a barrel of oil on the stock exchange.

    The price shown is for super sweet crude..Consider that most of the gas used in North America is manufactured from NON-sweet crude.

    It is manufactured from a barrel that is worth 1/2 as much..which means you are getting scr*** worse than you think.

    Georgian Bay (ONTARIO)

    Throughout last year’s Owen Sound Salmon Spectacular, the 10 largest chinook caught each day topped 20 pounds apiece. And with plenty of catches approaching 27 pounds, it’s easy to see why more than 5,000 anglers flocked to Ontario’s second largest tournament late last August and early September. Held on the protected waters of Georgian Bay on the eastern side of Lake Huron, the Salmon Spectacular is organized by the Sydenham’s Sportsmen’s Association, with all proceeds going to local fisheries and wildlife projects.

    Tourney co-chair Fred Geberdt recommends first and last light as the most productive fishing times due to the clear water. Popular lures include Lymans and the Silver Fox spoon in lime rickey, blue-on-blue and blue-green finishes, while premier fishing locations include the ever-popular Thompson’s Hole and local legends Red Doors and Pumpkin Seed. For up-to-the-minute fishing reports, local tackle shops and anglers are known to be very generous with their information.

    Lake Ontario (ONTARIO)

    Held each summer on Lake Ontario, the Great Ontario Salmon Hunt is Canada's largest tournament;

    last year approximately 14,000 anglers vied to be the first to reel in a specially tagged salmon worth $1 million.

    The biggest fish caught during last year's 50-day event, meanwhile, was a tournament record: a 46.38-pound chinook.

    The big fish are certainly out there, but you have to know where to look.

    The most popular harbours are Bronte, Port Credit, Bluffers Park (Scarborough), Oshawa, Port Hope and Wellington.

    Last year The Toronto Star printed a daily report listing the top locations and lures, although some of the most

    valuable information can be obtained at launch ramps or over the VHF radio.

    Lake Ontario's chinook salmon relate heavily to structure and are usually found within one to six miles

    of shore in 80 to 300 feet of water. The best fishing is at first light, although fish can be caught throughout the day.

    A good sonar unit is a necessity since fish in Lake Ontario can be scattered over wide areas.

    As for tackle, most competitors use downriggers and favour spoons such as Northern Kings, Patriots, RACs, Williams,

    Lure Kings and Nasty Boys. Lately, a number of anglers have been trolling cut-bait rigs behind a flasher.

    Niagara River fishing report [01/31/06]

    Niagara River (Lower): Muddy conditions continue to plague the lower Niagara due to the lack of ice cover on Lake Erie and windy conditions. Since mid-week, conditions have been poor, and the best fishing this weekend will likely be from shore. Concentrate on the pockets of clearer water that hug the shoreline in areas where the current is impeded. Shore anglers should be able to find some action in the Artpark area. Large streamers (e.g., white Zonkers), and spoons and spinners in silver or white should do the trick.

    Niagara River (Upper): Few anglers have been fishing the river due to the lack of safe ice in protected areas and the muddy conditions. Until the water conditions went south, anglers fishing with minnows were taking good numbers of yellow perch around the Lighthouse and off the Holiday Inn on Grand Island.

    Just a little info on what you can expect when fishing the Niagara River.

    July through August:

    Bass fishing at its best - we drift and cast sections of the Niagara River and the shore line with moderate-light tackle. Most often large numbers of fish in the 2-3 lb. range are caught with some trophies exceeding 5 lbs. Walleye can be targeted during this time. Fish in the 5 to 10 lb. range are normal.

    September through October:

    King Salmon move up the river for their spawning run. We fish for these giants up in the well known Devil's Hole area. This is hands on drift fishing using the mid-heavy tackle. (20 to 30 lbs. of pure excitement!)

    November through Late Winter:

    Spectacular Steelhead make their presence, offering some real excitement. We gear down to medium action rods with 10 lb. test to do battle with these speedsters. Brown and Lake Trout also share the river at this time. Late winter the Niagara Bar lights up often producing large numbers of Lake Trout with a mix of Brown Trout.
