I'm going to try to get from Mitchell's Bay to the Thames tomorrow if winds permit it. Can you give me any advice without upsetting your fishing partners ? We have had a very tough time this year and haven't even raised a fish.

Hey. Thanks for the reply. I tried the mouth of the Thames yesterday, both casting and trolling. We saw the boat next to us land a small fish but that was the only one with approx 12 boats fishing the area. I'm afraid that maybe I am throwing the wrong baits. Any favorite baits?

I have fished St. Clair in the past with great success. We are fishing out of Mitchell's Bay. Our fishing time is going to be greatly reduced due to high winds today and tomorrow. We haven't seen a fish so far. Casting body baits is our main method of fishing but we have done quite a bit of...

That's a lot clearer image. Thanks.

I'm heading to St. Clair tomorrow morning and I would like to see a current image of the lake to see areas of color. Can anyone help me out with a link to the Noaa page that will show me St Clair. I found the site page but it would not give me the desired detail when I zoomed in. Any help...

Due to a heart attack and a devastating house fire, I have not been able to fish much in the last three years. When I was finally able to get out last year I relied heavily upon the information that was shared on this site. It's an awesome concept, fishermen helping fishermen. I...

Planning on going out tomorrow morning and would love some help finding fish. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Are the shad in the Thames river yet?

I would recommend Sea Foam to everyone and for any engine, large or small, 2 or 4 stroke. It almost sounds too good to be true but it really works. Give it a try.

Once again, my apologies.

Fire is a scary thing. I am glad to hear that you're okay.

Ediquet question. I launched at the dam in Dunville yesterday. Traveling to the lake I had to maneuver past many vessels fishing. My boat leaves virtually no wake at 2/3 throttle (approx 40 mph) but leaves a 2' wake at less than that. My question is that I feel that 40 mph is too fast to...

Finally made it out around 3 pm after a last minute battery issue. Launched in Dunville and headed for the lake. Lots of boats fishing for perch east of the pier, but not a boat in sight out deep. I headed east and set up in 70 feet of water just west of Port Colborne. Not another boat in...
