Georgian Bay trolling

[iFish4real]

Hello everybody,

I was thinking to try downrigging on Georgian Bay off Collingwood marina and I'm wondering if anybody is willing to share some helpful information.

PM me

Much appreciated

I fish further west than that,  but here is some general info that will help you on the bay.  Fish early.  People showing up and launching at 7am, and getting rods in the water late have missed the best fishing.  I launch in the dark.  Fish long leads, and run much lighter rigs than your standard salmon fare.  That's all I got for you, I can't help you with Collingwood area, but my understanding is those guys start to do better around August, but I really can't say.  Good luck!

Georgianbaymessageboard would be the place to try.   Not super busy but great reports and guys willing to share info.  Tough fishery to crack.

Carry good cutters for the cable, you sadly wouldn't be the first to snag and get transom swamped out there!
