Re: portable fish finder

Yeah, I would also recommend the Striker 4. It's been great for me, as well as Garmin's castable version of the striker unit.

Re: Joes Lake Campsite

No, there's no house on that one. There's a house on the next point to the west. You're right that the crown-land atlas says its private property, but there are definitely folks who camp out there sometimes and it looks like the area at the top is set up to be a campsite. Maybe they know the owner o...

Re: Joes Lake Campsite

I was actually just thinking of the point by the boat launch. I don’t know if it’s a proper campsite but I’ve seen people camp there before and it seems like a good enough spot, though rather close to the main road. I’m not sure how to attach an image but if you look on the map I’m talking about the...

Joes Lake Campsite

Hi All I’m thinking of planning a simple 1 night camping trip to Lanark county, and I’m thinking of the small campsite on the point on Joes lake which I’m sure some of you are familiar with. It’s just west of the boat launch. Does anyone know if it is crown land and if it is bookable, or do you just...

Re: Crappie

I was out at an old Crappie haunt a couple weeks ago. We knew we wouldn't really be finding anything as we were only fishing from shore; we mostly were out to escape the city and enjoy the beautiful Lanark weather. No crappie action of course, a single 8-9 inch bluegill from shore but nothing else. ...

Ice...?

Hi all, I know it's a bit of a shot in the dark, but do any of you know if there's any ice left out on the lakes, say in the Lanark or Renfrew area? I know the rivers have been done for a while yet but I was clinging to a hope that there might be just enough ice on some of the lakes with not much in...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Absolutely bonkers. While I seriously hope the forecast changes to something a bit more seasonal (I'm not a lover of an early spring) it's definitely a good idea to get the shacks off of the bay. Getting sick of these wacky ice seasons, so I may just have to move to the prairies lol

Re: Buying dead shiners

So if I read that last part correctly, does that mean that bait sellers will now be able to sell salted minnows as well?

Buying dead shiners

Hi all, I’m trying to figure out if there are any live bait sellers in the area who get rid off their dead shiners for cheap, as I’d like to salt some minnows. With a dozen medium shiners going for $15 most places, I’m looking to capitalize on salted minnows since they’re cheaper, and I often have b...

Foam flooring for ice camping

Hi all, I guess this is maybe a bit early to start talking about this, but I'm beginning to assemble some necessary items and equipment to make up an ice camping set-up. I've been doing my research and have ideas of a bunch of things I'd like to get or have already gotten, but I'm wondering if anybo...

Stocked Trout Fishing

Hi all, Looking to get a little stocked trout action this weekend since most other things will be closed. I fished both Peterwhite and Green lake once last winter, with minimal success, but I feel a little more confident about trying one of them again. I was wondering if anyone had anything to say a...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

They will sometimes even spawn under the ice but right now they will be staging just outside the lagoon in the back along those far shorelines. You want to be fishing in shallow waters close to shore with huge baits as the Pike try and corral baitfish schools against the shorelines. Do you mean the...
