i agree with the week or two, but longer growing season can be in debate, carolina has a longer grow but new york is marginal, central/southerontario grow season is longer or the same as wisconsin or minnisota but also research has proved that shorter growing seasons translate to longer life in fish so it would be a case of 6 of one 1/2 doz of the other, i think lake champlain could be a model for central/soouthern ontario bass fishing
