blackstone lake

[smally21]

did a little fishing on a lake south of parry sound called blackstone. fish were right up on shore (and i mean right up) or on the shelves just offshore. managed five largies and a pike on the trip to the cottage! later found lots of smallmouth on the bottom at around 14', they liked the leeches and to a smaller extent finally.....the berkly gulp minnow!!! jigging much more effective than working the weeds and shorelines.

water temps around 74

blackstone and crane are connected by a fantastic river system that is just doable on the trolling motor. great ride.

Blackstone has always been a bit of hit and miss for me. Lots of variety in there but too many off days. I do however have good success on the Largemouth in Lawson Bay. Beyond what you mention there is Muskie, Walleye, Crappie and Lakers in there.

Only fished it once and got chased off by a storm. Good smallies for the hour I was out there though. I fish Crane more often because it has a free launch and I'm too cheap to pay on Blackstone!
