Mclaghlin Bay, Oshawa

[FisherGirl]

Has anyone had any experience fishing this bay?

To be clear, there are two areas, one is a wildlife reserve, the other seems to be a regular bay.

I want to try my luck out there but I'm not sure what kind of fish to expect?

I am desperately looking for decent bass fishing close by. Any help would be wonderful! Thank you


:wub:

If you live in oshawa take 45 mins and drive to rice lake and fish Bewedly. Great place to catch some bass.

Not familiar with that area, but take a look at this, http://www.durhamtourism.ca/brochures/FishingMap.pdf and http://www.hookandbullet.com/c/fishing-ajax-on/ you haven't already seen them. Not answering your question in any way but here are some other possible fishing spots. You could also check out Murray Canal.

So which is more of a priority?
To try that body of water or to haul in Bass?
There are good spots close by that might be better.
If you can drive a little further west (approx. 15mins on a good day) there are a few that i have caught bass for sure. or like AC said...rice lake. your call.
But if you want to give Mclaughlin Bay a shot, good luck and hope to hear some great reports.

Yea sorry I don't mean to redirect and not really answer your original question! I just was thinking if you are looking for some bass, not too far from you, you can hook into some bass all day.
