Cooks Bay

[300]

Hello. I’ve never fished cooks bay. Want to go sometime this summer for bass fishing with my son. There’s a launch at Gilford I believe. I’ve goggled bass fishing apparently good at south end around pads and weeds. Not looking for spots, but is it good bass fishing. Thank you

The gilford launch is residents only. So if you don’t live in Innisfil you will need to launch at a marina.     It is  possible that it could change  but for now no

Hit the mouth of the river. You will see many others doing the same. As for the bay it,s self,you need to know the area. Look for weed edges on drops.. Crank baits and senkos work best.

Those largies are decent but Simcoe is famous for its tank smallies. 4-5 lb not uncommon. They run in schools around sholes and islands at the top of Cooks Bay and elsewhere  on Simcoe. Find one you usually find more. Google it. There’s lots of info out there.
