You Like – I Like – We Like

It’s amazing how depressing winter can be, but in a few short months summer will be here and it will be time to head up north to the cottage. There is nothing better then hanging out at the cottage in Ontario during the summer. The weather is beautiful, the lake is warm and the fish take the bait.

Ontario offers lots of places to go fishing, both up north and close to the city. Around Toronto, there is Frenchman’s bay in Pickering and rouge valley park in Scarborough. Both of these places are always filled with fisherman hoping to catch the Lake Ontario pike or sunfish which is much more likely. Other great fishing lakes are Rice Lake, French River and Trout Lake, but the lake won’t matter if you don’t know the fishing basics. You always need to know the right fishing rod and reel to use, the right fishing lures and baits to use and what to look for on the lake for the type of fish you are trying to catch. I usually fish for Largemouth Bass and I almost always use a top water bait like a jitterbug, not only is cool to watch but it makes an interesting sound as it goes over the water. It’s also really cool to see a Largemouth Bass strike the bait.

Anyway you look at it, summer is so much better then winter and I can’t wait until it’s back.
