Newbe confused about baits / equipments

[andre]

Hi folks!

I am pretty green in the art of fishing (actually, my only "catch" was a bottle )

I was wondering if you guys can give me some hints regarding different baits for different fishes.... at least the most common like bass, pike, carp, etc.

I live in Thornhill and my spots will be Milne Dam Reservation Park and Togood Pound Park.

Does anyone fish in these spots? if yes, what kind of fish do you usually get there?

Can you suggest anything from this list?

What kind of baits / equipments do you use?

Thanks!!
