Moon River Ontario (7-21 to 7-24) AND more Lake Erie Winds!
Headed up to Moon Basin Marina (see link on our sponsors page) on the lower Georgian Bay (Ontario)
for a few days of fishing and relaxation with my wife and son. We did the same trip last year and had a
great time!
Fishing on this trip is more about my son than me, so we spent a fair amount of time doing the worm
thing for small bass, perch and bluegill; and he spent a lot of effort on the rock bass around camp.
All good. Water was a refreshing 75 for swimming, and it never gets rough, so the 14' boat we rented
was plenty.
We did get a bit of pike fishing in, the biggest was about 22" or so, and Jack got a 17" largemouth
casting a daredevle for pike. It was interesting to note that the owner thought the fishing was off some
due to the bad weather and lower temps we've had and also I noticed that in many places the deep
weed beds had not even started to grow yet....
The facility was great, and the weather really good for 2 out of 3 days, and of course we ate like kings!
Moon Basin Marina is only about 4.5 hrs from here in Dunkirk, and would be a great place to try for a
long weekend getaway! Tell Cindy and Kevin (www.moonbasinmarina.com) at we recommended
them!

My wife with a smallmouth bass! Jack with a 17" largemouth caught casting a
red & white daredevle! (Note: We took off
his PFD for the pic!)

to rough water. We try again Wed, the Fri-Sat-Sun for the Conservation Club Tournament! I'll
post reports on those.....weather permitting!
