A boat is only really needed for out in the middle of the bay, most areas are fishable from shore, but there are some great spots you can get to in a boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshS Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yeah the only launches are either Humber to the west and Ashbridges to the east. Both are a good run to the islands. Watch the wind forecasts, you have a long open water drive from either launch. Depending on your boat, hit it on low winds or north wind. Goodluck.

shimano19 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Ah okay so nothing near the islands to launch at. What about around boat docks and stuff at marinas. Is there anything there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msp Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 The fishing in and around the T.O. harbour can be seasonally good at times. The people in the various marinas can be a pain in the you know what sometimes. As stated earlier the only launches are at Humber Bay west and Ashbridges bay. Both are good concrete launches but a bit of a run into the islands and Harbour. You will however require a harbor licence to operate a power vessel within the Toronto Harbour. Police are usually in full force out there. You can obtain a licence from The Toronto Port Authority From the Toronto Port Authority Website.......
