I do a lot of fishing on Lake Ontario, catching small mouths, rock bass, perch, and many other fish. For bait, I use worms, and sometimes cray fish or minnows. I don’t go after the big fish though. I prefer the ones under 12 inches. Would you suggest that I use a lure? I bought a rapala jointed lure for ten dollars but I never catch anything with lures! What do you suggest for catching the big fish?
Answer:
I use the Berkley Power worms. You can take a look here. I catch the big fish with them. Good luck Buddy.

When we first moved into our house, we found this really old fishing guide of lake Saint-Clair (Windsor area) and my father really likes it.
Over the years, its become ripped, faded and unreadable.
Were wondering where we can find/buy a new one..
The inscription on the map says:
M. Englers Fishing Guide of Lake Saint Clair
Any ideas?
i came across this website… http://www.olofmaps.com/OntarioFish.htm
I fish an Lake ontario and the Erie canal and some other pplaces. I live in NY. Should my line be 8 pounds or like 14?
Well, the weight of your fishing line should be determined by your reel and rod. If you have fishing line that is too heavy for your reel, you will limit your casting range, experience a lack of control and sensitivity with your tackle, and run into other problems. If your line is too light for the gear, you risk breaking the line and popping knots. Go with the line that is recommended for your reel. There should be a decal or something on the reel that says what weight to use.
The size/weight of you reel is determined by the fish you want to catch. Lighter line is better — that is, if you can compensate for the lighter line with better technique, you’re better off. If we knew what size and sort of fish you were after, it might help, but a quality 8-pound line will catch some pretty big fish, maybe up to 10 pounds or larger if you know what you’re doing. With 14-pound line you must really have some big fish in mind.
There is fishing line at a store that is 13 dollars and I feel like getting it. Just because a few days ago I had a like 35 inch fish on my hook and it broke the hook and got off. The line is kind of thick and I think it is black. I fish in Lake Ontario a lot. Should I get it? My line is 30 pounds right now but it is crap and when I open the barrel it all comes out and I cant cast that far with it
If line is spitting out and you can’t cast then the line currently on there is too heavy. So no getting a higher pound test is going to do nothing but make it worse.
You’re going to have to get saltwater gear if you plan on using 30+ pound line unless its a heavy duty catfish reel. I wouldnt reccomend using a catfish reel unless you are catfishing. There heavy, bulky, and a hassle to carry around.
If you look at the underside of your rod itll have the maximum and minimum pound line and how many yards you can put on it. Maybe the 52 represented the number of yards the reel holds for that paticular pound line and not the maximum pound test line itself.
If i were you id check out the spiderwire brand fishing line. Its very tough and durable but its pretty thin stuff, it looks and feels a lot like dental floss. Its the strongest line i have ever used but again this is more of a catfish and maybe walleye line. Not good for regular bass fishing or anything.
