St. Lawerence River fishing

Post by **marlinhunter** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 5:16 pm

Hey Guys,
Just got back from a cold day of diving down near Cardinal and Morrisburg. Just to let anyone fishing down there the fish were between fourteen feet to about twenty one ft. Watched a BIG pike nail probably the biggest perch I have ever seen. They get huge up here for perch. It was amazing although even a dry suit was cold. Can't get out this weekend so thought I would report where they were sitting. It's nice to have to guess. One more thing do perch on the St. Lawrence usually get to 8 inches. It was huge wish I had underwater camera. LOTS of big walleye, saw three smallies. Decent size too. Take care see you on the water with the rod bent.

Only fished the Larry once, but, while I was goin for smallies, saw some other lads in the distance jiggin for what seemed to be pickerel, get over to them and ask what the target was.... perch

They said they got severel in the 13" class a week earlier!

Cheers,

Rich

Marlinhunter did you start at the pumphouse in Morrisburg? Where did you see a BIG pike?

Interesting tidbits, there Marlinhunter. How big do you figure the pike for?

I hope you can get back out again soon. Too bad about the missed wknd coming up. Hope you'll be something fun, at least, in the absence of fishing!

Thanks for the info.
I was thinking of heading that way this Sunday.. Sort of a toss up between last day of Bass in Div 10 or walleye at Cardinal.
If the weather is okay I'm leaning towards Cardinal.

Hope the missing boater is not still around.
