I've taken a several trips to lake Scugog and Rice Lake and rented a boat with family and friends. I've also fished some of the local ponds in Markham. I practice catch and release. Everything I know about fishing, I learnt from Googling, so I'm not too skillful!

I joined this forum so hopefully I can find some good shore fishing spots within an hour's drive of my home. Even though I've been on several boat fishing trips, I wasn't very successful in catching many fish, so may give that up since it's pretty depressing driving all that way, spending money renting a boat an still not catching a lot of fish.

From one newbie to another: Join the club

Googling and Youtube for me :-)
I was influenced into buying different types of lures this winter just by watching them darn Youtube videos. Can't wait to try them out this coming summer.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to check out the Markham ponds soon with some forum members.

Can't believe I lived in Markham all these years and never tried fishing... better late than never
