RE: Catfish
Channel or bullheads? Bullheads can be found in pretty much any pond, while I hear good things about channel catfish in Dunnville Ontario.

Channel Cats = rivers and a bit of current, cut bait for big fish, worms or chicken livers for smaller fish. These kitties spawn in spring (mid April/May/early June) having big fish enter river mouths. Will hit lures (spinners & spoons as well) with a bottom bouncing presentation. Most of our larger Lake Ontario and Lake Erie rivers' lower sections have a resident population of channel cats – of a bit smaller size – but can still go 8lbs+ occasionally. (Grand, Welland, Thames, Saugeen) Watch these videos and you’ll be on your way – they mention their fishing location in Southern Ontario: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bDMeXNLcIc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5gtTEBxv...ure=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sHXY6208...ure=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqocOWL47...ure=relmfu Bait (if yer comin this way - these fellas will have what ya need – call first re cut bait(suckers) Hamilton: http://www.billsbaitandtackle.ca/ https://fishingworld.ca/fishing Caledonia: http://www.caledoniabaitandtackle.com/cbtjoom/index.php Dunnville: http://www.fishmastersultimatecharters.c...t_shop.php ** I use a simple sliding sinker rig with fair size circle hooks (1/0 or larger) for channel cats with cut bait and a wow size sinker. Ultra-light tackle should not be considered as appropriate. Never really targeted bullheads a whole bunch. But hey………. once ya get’em cleaned and skinned– they actually taste real good.

RE: Catfish
Nice size channels should be a blast, I've never targeted them yet. If you're happy with small bullheads then a worm on the bottom will get you them in most water.

In the meantime maybe I can use a very long straw and some sewing thread lol jk... oh wait that might be interesting for chubs! Hand-lined chubs FTW! Going to post a report about this when I try it... hold me to it! |

You will catch smaller fish above the Dam....... but there is a lot of easy access just above the Dam/Bridge on the city side. The larger fish are caught below the dam. Access is a tad more limited and will require effort on your part to discover. Cheers, OldTimer <>< I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life. ><> See you on the river. |
