Nice catch dude enjoy the good eats

they are fine to eat migratory from cooks bay been out everyday this week the canal is packed with people fishing everyone has crappie its a fish massacre so many people fishing so much garbage too

Yeah, it's sad to see so much garbage floating by... Even where you stand is full of plastic bottles and cans. Thanks for the input.

Holy Crappie hotspots! Driving up from the US this weekend. Where is the best spot to fish for these slabs! I searched Holland river on net and it's long were is everyone fishing? What colours baits are working?

Need hotels motels lodging for 10 guys. Any info on accom thanks.

check motels in newmarket then drive to bradford but get up early if you want a spot to stand

Thanks we are bringing boats. How many rods are we allowed to use?

Crappie fishing use to be fun, close to home! Not any more.It has become a war zone on the shoreline's and in the water. Time to find a few more private areas far away from the MOB! Ridiculous. Sorry for the Rant!

I totally agree... Was planning on going again on Sunday but I heard its shoulder to shoulder. I was glad I had yesterday off so crowding wasn't a problem at all. Had one guy tho, when he saw me and a friend were catching, walk up the bridge and literally drop his bobber between me and my friend. He saw the frustration on my face after tangling our lines a couple times before he finally went to the other side.

Only one this is Ontario. You need fishing licences too.

Do they need pleasure craft operator cards to either Ontario ones or equivalence from where they are from considering they are bringing their own boats? Regardless check the regs before you go out. There has been a lot of people being caught at the borders trying to bring more back home then they are supposed to have. Respect our resources like you would want us to respect yours.

I totally agree. Drove by the bridge at the end of simcoe road where it meets canal on Tuesday afternoon/eve. Counted 13 cars. 12 people actually on the bridge, and another dozen all within 20 yards of it. Just CRAZY. gotta find some private honey holes.

Well fido has been looking at me for weeks, with the wife nagging, kids screaming and cat clawing, me and my bud had enough of the mayhem. Went out to the Holland river for some peace and quiet fishing. That was a bad idea! Worse than staying home. What a ZOO! Someone throw us a bone, where can we go and not get rod whipped?. Fido was not impressed.

What's the word on the crappie anyone still catching them up in Bradford?

Some guys said they did catch some nice crappies on fri and sat.i went there on sunday but with the high winds the water temp was too cold .I did not catch any or saw anyone catch any.If the weather is nice this weekend we may get some crappie action.
