siwash Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Hello folks, Been a while since I posted here. A buddy asked me to take him and his boy fishing. Both have very little experience so I figured a day of panfishing and maybe some decent game fish possibilities would be nice. Balsam comes to mind as a good choice even though I've never fished it. We just want to rent a basic tin boat. I know Rosedale rents but their boats are pricey and more than what we need. Any other renters on that lake that rent basic boats? Any tips on fishing it would be great, too! Thanks in advance.. Edited June 7, 2017 by swordfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmer Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 You might want to consider another kawartha lake. Rice lake might have more options for boat rentals. Just a thought. Balsam can get rough on the weekends with wind and large boat wakes. If you choose Pigeon, you can check out Buckeye right in Bobcaygeon in the canal.

siwash Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 How about Scugog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Plug Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 There was a marina in Coboconk across the street from the Home Hardware that used to rent boats. Not sure if they still do or not. Work a try if you're set on going to balsam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 A good alternative would be L Dalrymple. Roughly same distance and a lot fewer obstacles to navigate with good panfish. The resort on the west shore rents daily boats and were not pricey last time up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to confirm before driving 1.5 hours. I just hope these places are open on weekdays. We are heading up tomorrow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siwash Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) We went to Dalrymple.. had a good time.. fishing could have been better but the little guy enjoyed the sunfish.. we accidnetly caught a few bass too, including a solid 3+ lbs smallie It's a nice lake and we'd go back.. looks promising Cheers Edited June 9, 2017 by swordfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
