Show and Tell – Fishing for Bass on the Georgian Bay

One of the many nice bass in 2008 - Diamond Key Lodge

Tell us about your biggest bass caught in the Georgian Bay?

Bass fishing season does not begin until the 4th Saturday in June.  But boy, are they worth the wait.  The 30,000 island area of the Georgian Bay are basically one big Shaol, and the bass (both large and small mouth) are plentiful and get very big.   For the smallmouth, they are normally in the shaols, whereas the large mouth are in back bays and weeds.  Very tasty too ..

Walleye Season on the Georgian Bay

Big Walleye caught on the Georgian Bay - Diamond Key Lodge

Kicking off this category by answering a question about our fishing season for Walleye.

We are very luck that the Walleye season opens in our area on May 1st.   We are located at the mouth of the Key River, and fish the outlets of the Key, Pickerel and French River Delta.   Literally thousands of islands.   In many parts of Ontario, the fishing season for Walleye does not start until the latter part of May.  However, we can fish starting May 1st, with slot size restrictions.    At this time, the fishing is great.   Actually, fishing for Walleye is great May and June, and as the summer goes on, we start to fish more into the evening time.
