Lake Aquataine in Mississauga

Anyways, I'm an experienced angler but I'm having a tough time with the bass at lake aquataine!
I've never caught a bass before ( we have none in AB ).
We've been using every lure we can think of, including bait, but all we're getting is catfish and perch. (With the bait).
We were there the last couple of days at sunset and saw massive bass after massive bass rising out of the water.
They put the trout and pike splashes in AB to shame =).
Anyways, we had gulp alive minnows on the hook, worms, even powerbait trout bait and still were getting nothing but perch and small catfish.
Can somebody tell me if these Bass are specific to a certain type of bait or lure? We've tried floaters and rapala rattelers aswel with no chance.
I'll be happy with even a 2lb. bass before I leave next week; just wanna check her off my list =)
Thanks!

I was using an orange 2 piece floater yesterday about 5 inches long but getting no bites while they were jumping.
Just in case I have no luck today or tomorrow, is there any other places I can go around Mississauga that give me a great chance to catch small or largemouth bass?
Thanks guys

You don´t have to many options in Mississauga, and shore fishing for Bass sometimes is an unfare game...your chances improve a lot if you rent a boat! Bass Lake and Lake Eugenia is some options not too far from you...

Ive caught no more than 4 LM bass at aquitaine, and that was with a Strike King Burner Spinnerbait. I caught most of them from the dock casting towards the dam wall. Also, on the northern part of the lake, there are a bunch of lily pads just a few feet off shore. I get a few strikes out of those lily pads with a frog, but only managed to pull out 1.
For me, its not the greatest place for bass fishing. Too many kids and too much noise usually does not get you very far.
If you want to stay local for Bass fishing, id suggest heading up to Brampton and try out Heart Lake or Loafers Lake. Ive caught dozens of LM bass at Heart Lake this year, and recommend anyone near there to check it out.

There are members here who have had good success fishing for largemouth bass in this lake. You probably should stick to the traditional bass lures ie, soft plastics, crankbaits, small spinnerbaits, topwaters, etc...

Where are the best places to fish at Lake Aquitaine?
The name "Lake" Aquataine is somewhat of a misnomer. This is a pond. It's small enough that I would just work the whole area, personally. I could be wrong, but I would guess that it probably wouldn't take you very long to discover the best spots IMO.

And the same goes for ALL of the ponds in the GTA reports section!!! DO NOT EAT.
That is not necessarily true openfire. If you check out the MNR fish consumption guide some ponds in the GTA are not bad. For example, Grenadier Pond in the Humber area or Professors Lake in Brampton. I'd rather eat stuff from there than stuff that comes out of the lower Credit River.
