I've been fishing Georgian Bay near the mouth of the French (Georgian Bay Fishing Camp) since the late 70's. I've never fished there in the fall, but I've been told that the mouth of the French and into the French north to Dalles Rapids (only a 5-10 min boat ride from the mouth as it enters the bay) is the place to be. I would imagine that the Dalles Rapids are not crowded at all this time of year (it's a small area and can be hard to fish when there's alot of traffic). Anyway, if I was going that time of year that's where I would concentrate my efforts. Live bait rigs and jigs would probably be the ticket, as well as large Rapalas (7 inchers) and some fluttering bladebaits. Hope this helps and good luck. One of the most beautiful and pristine areas I've ever fished. Ontario rules!

Greetings: AM new to the site and finally registered and it's an honor to join the group! I've had tremendous success w/ 4 inch swimbaits the last 2 yrs on Georgian Bay. They are great to cast and rip through weeds or snap jig. I've caught pike from 12-20 lbs (well, actually my 12 yr old caught the big one) and I've taken a few nice walleyes as well jigging them off of dropoffs. I really like casting them along weedlines as they seem to come through weeds without alot of foul ups. Particularly good colors have been perch and firetiger. I was skeptical at first but now I'm sold on them and never head North without a bunch of them. I'll post some pics of our swimbait fish as soon as I figure out how to do so(wife is sleeping............)
