Thinking of checking it out with the kids. If anyone has any tips on this lake, please let me know.
Thanks.
This should be posted in general discussion but it's alright, simple mistake. As for the lake, I sadly don't have any information on it. A Google search may yield what you're looking for.
I know very well this lake, i also bring my son, 5 years old, that after 2-3 hours catched almost 100 fish: sunfish, bass, perch, rockbass.
For big stuff, there are big bass, but they are tough: best chances i had were with finess grubs. The smaller the lure, bigger the bass Big Grin.
There are tons of small pikes too. Biggest i saw were about 10 lbs, but regulare size are 2-3.
I had fished here recently for the orangeville bass tournament. Catching crappie from shore is possible but I had a hard time finding bass that day. I've posted a video last year on my youtube channel if you want to take a look. I will be posting the video i took this year soon.

where abouts does one fish on the isalnd lake - went there a couple of weeks back with my kid - fished from the pier near the boat launch/the store where they rent rods and sell bait - was there from 3 to 8pm with my kid - was using the worms they sold at the store on small hooks - caught a perch and a sun fish i think - not many bites didnt notice others catching too, except a couple of folks that came back using a boat - saw one guy with 2 12 - 15" bass and another had 3 small pike on a string - is there any other place that would yield more - want my kid to feel the tug - i live in scarborough but often visit relatives in Amaranth so take my kid to the island lake. any advice would be helpful- maybe im in the wrong area or wrong time
