Is anyone familiar with Bing inlet north of Parry sound? I will be up there in the near future and am wondering what to expect and plan for. Are there a lot of navigation hazards? Rocks, etc?

Posted

It's Georgian Bay, so yes.... expect rocks and lots of them. I wouldn't be out there without hydrocharts unless you're going really slow.

My buddy has a trailer up there and yes it can be difficult. Even with charts we had a couple dings during the tide going down. what are you fishing for? I can be of some assistance. pm me if u want

Like Said from the highway to the mouth {clarks island) your good in the channel nothing to worry about..after she splits to North /South Georgian Bay that's a completely different story ..I live work and fish outta the inlet freeze out till freeze up ..Byngs a port its a shipping channel its well marked..the fishings been tough the past few weeks ..due to nasty change in weather no doubt ..skis aren't as active

Byng is well marked in the river itself, the ice fishers like to set up right in the navigation channels in the winter as this is obviously the deepest part of the channel. The water is still relatively warm but as this weather continues to hold I imagine the pickerels will start making their way in.

 

As Bill said, dont even bother trying to navigate without charts unless you are looking to purchase a new boat soon.

 

Take err really slow and be aware that if you head out into the bay, the weather picks up quick and if you are in a small boat theres a very good chance that you could end up in 10 footers smashing directly onto the shoals that protect the area.

 

Bring Rain gear, if the forecast says theres a chance of rain, it will rain.

where are you staying ..River Haven? if you are the walleye should be turning on soon..both jigging and rapalas on surface at night

we have rented a cottage directly across from the marina, or so it appears from maps

What others have said... get a map and or stay close to the marked channels. Once you have reached the open bay, you can either work left or right and get into some out of the wind spots... but any kind of west wind will make a mess of the river mouth.

I found it a tough place to catch fish... but I was there in the heat of the summer a number of years ago, you may have better luck.

Also, in the week we were there, I lost at least three days of fishing due to the wind.
