Thinking of taking my kids out to do some fishing today.  We live very close to Kitchener/Waterloo - are there any decent spots that we can try from shore for sunfish and other smaller species?  I'm willing to drive about an hour if needed to get some good fishing for them.  My oldest is 12, the other 8yrs old.  

 

Any help would be appreciated.  Please PM me if you don't want to reveal any spots on thread. 

 

Thanks!

i would try "mill pond" in milton ontario.  small area and worms on a small hook will work great.  i take my 4 yr old there.  gets lots of bites and teaches him patience and reward well.

any pond will have sunfish as the weather gets warmer. right now if you're down for catfish. any outlet leading to lake O will have them. just bottom feed nightcrawlers...

Go to Adeline Park in Barrie. I went there about a week ago and caught almost 50 fish in a matter of 45 minutes! You're mainly going to catch bluegill and sunfish, but if you're lucky and cast into a weed spot, you can land some big bass. On my last trip, while I was bobber fishing with worms for bluegill, I accidentally hooked into a monster 5 pound bass (which I immediately released). And now that bass season has opened, I guess it would be a nice treat if the kids did hook into one of those. Adeline park is the place! Good luck!

It is definitely not the best of lakes but mill pond is 100% free. Full of sunfish, took my wee one there for the Kids Trout derby this year but I think she enjoyed the sunfish more.

 

Might be some little rainbows kicking around still, some carp and a few bass too.

Any tips for where I can catch lots of black crappie from a clean water source for eating and at the same time protect the walleye population? I keep reading these people get fined like $2000 for having like 105 Black Crappie way over their limits... yet every time I try to find crappie, i can never really find them... In fact... I always have less than 10 crappies.... How do they catch 105 Black Crappies with just two people... Is that a Guiness Book of World Records in one day amount of Black Crappie?????? 

 

My current source is Lake Scugog.  But soon to be banned... mes amis...
