Toronto Islands, Week of May 2nd

[Master Basser]

Thats the Island in my avitar, yes. One of the many pike I pulled in last year, and no where near the biggest!

[Sike-1]

Hey... you guys do realize thast pike is open on may 2nd, right?

1st saturday in may, may 2nd ( my birthday).

Ill gladly meet you all on first ferry over!

[Clive]

Yeah, you are right it is May 2nd - I'm not sure I'll get there for opener, but I'll be there at least once that week!

[Master Basser]

Will be there on the 2`nd as well as the 9`th...It will be a blast!! I have been to the island the last couple of days to try for some carp...saw lotsa carp, and some pike, but I couldn`t hook into a carp at all...But will be back next week for some more carp`in...gotta learn sometime!

[Sike-1]

Does anybody know if you can fish from the marina? Id love to pitch 1 oz bassjigs under the docks there.

[Clive]

I dont think there are any signs that say "no fishing" - but the locals don't like people casting near their boats. May as well try until some ones asks you to leave!

PS. make sure you aren't targeting bass as season doesn't open until June!

[Sike-1]

Ohh, it will be 1 oz bassjigs with Kalins "Mogambo" grubs on back. Would have to be a REAALLLLY big bass to wanna hit that thing.

Whole rig is close to 6 inches long

Im also wanting to throw glidin raps along breakwalls and such. Looks fun.

Thanks

All Marina`s are Private...we are gonna try and sneek in in the beginning of may when there arn`t many boats in yet, but am sure will be promtly asked to leave...we will see. But if you are on a boat, you can certainly throw in there, I see it all the time.

We used to hop the fence to fish the "Private" area. As long as you are not disturbing the peace you'll be fine. We had a couple guys we'd see each time and they shared their beer with us - but you will come across the odd person who will want you to leave immediately. Make sure you don't leave any mess behind, ore even better, keep a plastic bag and pick p garbage near the shore and they'll love you!

I may have to try one of those jigs Sike, sounds like t could be deadly for inactive pike!

Private areas rule and so do the newfies that come with em
