Probably too windy for Island Lake boats, or I'd be there tomorrow. Not sure where I can shore fish in the nearby area for bass and/or pike. Thinking Mountsberg, anyone have any info on this place?
Hilton Falls?

Thanks!

Hey ST! I have been to Mountsburg a bunch over the last couple of years but I've only been once this year. . I can confirm that both Pike and Bass are there and can be caught from shore, I've even caught crappie there. There are two entrances to the conservation area and to fish its better to enter near the dam. I've done most of my damage on spinner baits and inline spinners. There are a tonne of weeds especially when you get deep into the summer.
Lately I have been hitting Fairy Lake in Acton. It has the same species as Mountsburg (bass pike crappie), the average size does dip as it is a small lake.

Thanks for the reply wknd outdoorsman! Question, do the weeds later in the yr at Mountsberg prevent easy shore fishing?

I hit Island Lake in Orangeville this past Mon. Caught 2 pike (small spinnerbait), a largemouth bass (Mepps #5), and tons of panfish (pumpkin seeds, rock bass, perch).

EDIT: Sorry, this was from a boat, not from shore. I guess I shouldn't mention offshore fishing in this forum, eh?
