Ontario Shore Fishing Forum

I've been using this site as a resource for a long time. I finally decided to join a short while ago and give back to the community that I've learned so much from.

Hope to make a positive contribution.

Here's a Holland River Bowfin.

Wow nice colours on that one! Were you targeting that or did you just happen upon it?

I was actually targeting pike. Saw a shadow in the water and pulled out my first bowfin.
An underrated fish for sure.

Welcome to the forum and great catch!

Welcome! Nice catch, what did you catch it on?

Awesome. Bowfin rule. One of the most badass fish to grace our waters.

On a loop dropper rig with a nightcrawler. It was very aggressive.
Bit my sinker first, spat it out and went after the worm next. I should post a picture of the sinker, it had bite marks on it.

Welcome.
