Fishing in Lake Ontario
Question
I live down in the south part of lake Ontario, Right by 50 point marina, Hamilton. I need a lot of help fishing in and around this marina from the shores. In the marina, along the docks and under the boats there are lots of 10-15LBS salmon and carp. however they swim around near the to of the water very slowly and avoid anything i cast in.
Are there any lures that you think would work well to get their attention, or times i should be trying?
also There is a man-made river that connects the marina to the lake, therefore it is deep. As the sun goes down do you think many fish would swim in through it during the summer? and what kinds?
Tons of thanks in advance. Fishing is my favorite sport, well it was before i moved out of the bay of quinte, because now i cant catch anything.
Thanks,
Jordon

Greetings,
The salmon should take a spoon, spinner and/or Rapala.
The carp would be best fished with a big hook full of crawlers on the bottom. I've watched some guys use canned corn with special rigs too but don't know how to do it. I Europe carp fishing is very popular and they get very specialized in there equipment and techniques.
Wish I could be more helpful but I don't fish for these species.
