Today I was fish on Lake Ontario in Rochester NY and there are some big fish that were swimming by but I did not know what they were. They were like 30+ inches long and silver with some color on its fins. They also did not like any of my bait. I tried worms but did not want them. What kind of fish are they and what do I use to catch them?
Orange color on fins? Probably a carp… 30" long, not taking any bait, difficult as hell… Sounds like carp!
Check where their mouth is… Towards to bottom of the head?

i dont plan on eatin the fish cause its lake ontario. I go to 50 Point Marina and fish off of the rock bariers that go out a bit into the water. i also fish off of the rocks on either side of the man made river that goes from the marina to the lake so its pretty deep.
i want to be able to actually catch some fish there in the summer. Inside the marina where i cant fish, there are always lazy carp and salmon swimming slowly along the shore, however no matter what i cast in, they just go around it when they finnaly find it.
what should i be using? and when should i be going.
is there a time when the fish in lake ontario will swim close to the shore for feeding? possible the weedline, or maybe swim into the marina?
i need a lotta help cause i have tryed a lot of lures, and for every kind of fish.
i tried carp bait, iv tried salmon lures, topwater bass lures, and lots of others.
thanks in advance
oh, i forgot i dont have a boat
for the carp use pillsbury dough (plain old biscuit dough) but, you need to read a few books about the fish you want to target: bass, trout, salmon whatever. You could be reeling in the bait the wrong direction or the wrong speed even the wrong depth. They all take different baits (some will overlap) presented in different ways and this knowledge comes from others who knew they knew enough to put it into a book so we could all learn from their experience(s) on the water. Keep a diary and never let your shadow get on the water. You could be spooking them. Try fishing before dawn into the morning or at dusk into the evening. (fish are either hungriest in the morning having not fed all night or at night knowing they won't eat much at night.

Where it would be a place to go for big perch fishing, Hamilton (Ontario) area. 20-30 min travel is OK.
(forget about Hamilton harbour or Lake Ontario)
In the water !!!

Any lures you can recommend? I'm doing some fishing in lake Ontario off the shore.
I'm just catch and release fishing for fun, doesn't matter to me what I catch. Thanks for the quick response
Lake Ontario has many species of fish: lake trout, brown trout, small mouth etc.
a multispecies bait like rapala floating baits or in-line spiners like panther martins will cover multiple species. small swimbaits are easy too.
but what are you fishing for?
lures dont require additional bait.
i live in Toronto Ontario and im going fishing this comming up saturday to little lake in barrie. i want to go bass pike and walleye fishing at that lake. the problem is, when i look at the regulations, it says the fish have seasons but it says nothing about catch and release. is it still legal for me to fish but release all my fish, or is it illegal to go fishing for these species even if i catch and release? thanks in advance
oh btw im in zone 15 of the ontario fishing laws
how can the officers tell if im fishing for a fish that is out of season? im not planning on doing it but just wondering how they do it
Pretty well everything in that area is closed except perch and other pan fish.
Refer to this link: http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/en/Business/LetsFish/Publication/STEL02_163615.html
which is the Ontario fishing regulations. You can't target out of season fish even if you plan to release them. Conservation officers will know you are not targeting pan fish if you have a 4 inch spoon or body bait on. They ain't idiots, but they love to bust idiots……DON'T DO IT
