mistaredone Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm heading to a cottage this weekend by Penetanguishene bay so I thought I'd get a few hours of musky fishing in. Just wondering if the bay is safe to boat without gps maps? also does the bay get rough? I'll be fishing out of a 16' bass boat. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 If it's the winds they are calling for you should be fine do you have a hydrographic map of the bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Make sure you stay between the buoys.There are lots of rocks and as you enter the gap, to your left is a shallow shoal going far out.Yes that "gap" can get very windy in a hurry especially this time of year. I grew up in that area.Some good fishing if your careful off the marked areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistaredone Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Anyone recomend a place I could pick up a hard map in the area? Any public launch's around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 The public launch is at the bottom of town by The Dock Lunch. I'm not sure if the town charges anything at all. To get a map of the area, go to one of the local marinas, they will have it in stock. If you stay between the markers, you'll be fine. I'm not too sure of what's on either side though.
