SHORE FISHING.......
I have to admit that since coming to Canada from the UK I have done little else than fish from my boat.
Back in the UK if you owned a boat you were in the more well off category and was not something that was fairly affordable to buy..so shore fishing is the way the vast majority of people fish over there.
However I find shore fishing soooo much more relaxing than boat fishing,no need for lauching etc etc.
I initially believed that boat fishing was the only way to go out here,but have definatlely changed my mind since finding a location that I have fished many a time with only limited success in my boat,then I returned and fished it from the shore and just keep on landing some nice fish time and time again.
However each way has its pros and cons,and I find that if the weather is crap and I feel the need-to fish-shore fishing is the only way to go.

I find it depends on the species...
sturgeon, cats, carp, gar: shore
bass, pike, walleye: boat
I do love the shore fishing though. The bridge accross the Mississipi in Galleta and the dam near the mouth of the Medawaska river are my favorite out of town shore spots.
In town, Vic Island, Billings Bridge, Long Island (above and below the dam), black rapids, and of course the canal! Dow's Lake has some of the best crappie fishing I've ever done; on the docks infront of the restaurant. Looking forward to trying koi fishing in Mckay Lake in the spring.

I only shore fish in Port Hope for Trout in April...Before my buddy got a boat I fished from shore all the time as well. Carleton Place has some great shore fishing for Walleye's about 1/2 km from my home as well as Appleton, Almonte, Pakenham(huge pike caught there) and recently Arnprior at the bridge. In Port Hope is my favorite spot that my father and I hit every year as a father -son outing...He is getting up there in age now so not as much walking down the river as before. I caught my biggest rainbow out of a stream called Ragged Shute it was almost 12lbs and what a fight to land it..It took me up and down the shore for 20 min. Now you cant do that in a boat. The past few years though due to (global Warming) ithink...the trout have spawned earlier and are mostly back in the lake...MNR needs to look at this and maybe up the date to Late March if possible.
Fishing isn't a matter of life and death....
It's much more important.

Thanks

joco..
The MNR updated their website and you have to re-find all the new links. Here is the link for urban fishing:
http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/en/Business/Le ... 65427.html
You will then find links to various sites for Ontario, Ottawa etc. in the right hand side.

Shore fishing is the only thing myself and my two youngest kids do. Nothing better than picking a spot on a cool summer evening and letting the worm drift while we catch up on the day's happenings. My kids arer 14, 15 and 16 but the 16 year old doesn't have the patience to fish. We live in Kanata so it is quite easy for us to hit the Rideau at Kars, the Ottawa at Baskin's Beach, the Mad at Clay Bank or even Dow's Lake. We would love to find fellow Fish Hawker's and team up for an evening. As I've said many times on here I'm a true amateur and am only starting to learn the right lures/bait for the local species. I'd love for the kids to learn the exicitng hit of a pike or a walleye.

Shore Fishing around toronto
Hi,
Is there a group of people here that shore fish around the toronto area. I just started fishing this year and other than the Rouge River I don't know of a lot of places I can take my 5 year old?
