Bringing out the big fish?

[onwind]

Yes, I totally agree with you.
I am a new immigrant to Canada and I just came here three months ago. there are a lot difficulties for me to advanture finding fishes by google map. firstly I am not familiar with the road and the signs. I am afraid to break regulations or offense the owners. secondly I don't always have a car to navigate around the city. all what I want is to find a place not far away from my home and I can fish there when I have free time. now I am looking for one sport as my base.
I have visited some places according to MNR's urban fishing opportunities in toronto, but I cannot find the fishes said in that guide. so I am wondering perhaps I can borrow some experience from all of you. if you don't want to tell me where you fish, Can you tell me whether it is good place for fishing when I found a possible spot in google map if you happened to visit there before?

If you follow this pattern you will find fish. Fishing is a journey, that may be my favorite thing about it... the adventure... the risks of being skunked.

You tell one guy your specific spot, they tell 5 other people and those people tell 5 other people each. So now 27 people want to fish where only 1 guy wanted to fish. Maybe that other guy doesn't tell 5 people, but other people see him fishing there. That's more exposure.... any angler who sees him fishing there will try it out too.

Sharing is caring... but I guess in the fishing world it can go wrong... very wrong.

Guiga10, I've wondered this before and a lot of people have told me:

The big fish are the hardest to catch. Small fish are like hungry teenagers and will feed all day and feed on anything. Big fish are more temperamental, pickier, and thus harder to catch. There are also less of them.

So, I guess it takes a lot more know-how to catch the big fish. I haven't figured it out yet... and haven't bothered to yet because I've been focused on just catching ANYthing lol
