Petrie Island

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Petrie Island

Post by campnfish »

Thinking of heading down to Petrie after work and dropping the sportspal in for a little fishing.

I was thinking of fishing the channel that runs to the south of the island and then maybe meandering into the smaller channels that that branch off of it. Am I wasting my time fishing around there? I've only ever fished from shore and around the culverts on Petrie. I prefer bass and walleye but am happy to be catching fish period.

Also heard that the weed bed south of the beaches is a good starting point. Not asking for your spots, just a little direction.

Cheers,

@ Jimmy - those fish are friggin' ugly. But if I do get one, I'll take a pic, just for you. I think that is one of the few species native to Ontario that I haven't caught yet. That and an eel. I think I could go without both lol.
