duxbware Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Thinking of going to Kincardine tomorrow. They are calling for 20km winds from the West. I have a 16 ft boat with a 50Merc. This is my first time going there, are these safe winds to fish or are the waves going to be to large. I am new to boating and want to take it safe and slow, if you now what I mean. If these are good winds anyone have advice to help us catch some fish? Thanks. Todd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallacio Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 When winds are from the west on Huron, it allows waves to build across the entire lake. 20km/h winds aren't gale force but it'll be a lumpy ride and if you are a new boater, you might want to consider a trip on the big lake for a calmer day., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Thank you very much. Any advice where to go then? We are open to anything. Todd. North side of Lake Simcoe is good if the wind is from the North or north west. Rob C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duxbware Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Thanks Rob, that's where I was thinking of going. Never fished lady Simcoe in the soft water. Where do you suggest I put the boat in and where do I go from there? I am not asking for your spot just a general area to start looking. I assume you are talking lakers and white fish? thanks for your help. Todd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinbanger Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 there is a decent launch ( don't use the concrete but the gravel beach next to it) in orillia across from Tudhope park. watch for sign on hwy 12 not far past Trombley tackle shop , can't recal the street name. If you are looking for lakers and whitefish I can't help you there . 20 k will produce some good sized waves on simcoe , take care TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twocoda Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 The sheltered waters of Owen Sound are favorable with a west wind ...if you get to Kincardine and cant fish it ...keep on going up the coast till you get to owen sound...RULE OF THUMB.....WHEN IN DOUBT>>>DONT GO OUT http://www.pilor.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeXXington Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 If you head to kincardine, couple things about the big lake. If you wake up at 6 and the wind is 20k stay home.. Not worth it. If you wake up and there is a light breeze you can head down and watch the water/wind low rollers are safe its the chop you avoid. While out there keep around the pack, if the wind picks up time too leave. North and east Wind is best as you can tuck in close to shore if it gets rough. South and West are the worst as there is no hiding. I always did well near the hump at the green patch. Stay safe and make sure you have a VHF if your going out.
