Nottawasaga bay- dead fishing area

[Jet fishin]

I have and again am fishing again in coll

Ingwood and I can't catch a thing, seen a couple big ones but for one of the Great Lakes it's pretty dead. I am fishing at shore and tried all possible places even a fishing boat guide, no success!

I think this area is a dead zone, but thinking again that it Is a part of Lake Huron I am going to try again. My usual set up is worms or a blue shiny lure, no success, no good cover for the fish I can see. Only caught two 5 inch rock bass. This week vist I want to catch something bigger.

I have some decent spots but the fish are silent. Should I try some local small lakes like lake eugina for a fish or should I fish on? Am I doing something wrong with my choice of lures and bait? Or is the Georgian bay, nottawasaga bay collingwood just a bad fishing spot overrun by the gobies? Help is appreciated!

Great fishing in the area, you just need to know where to go. Do some exportation and you will find fish. You also don't necessarily need a boat, some of the rivers in that area get a good run of smallies in the summer. If you put in some leg work you will locate them

What DW said x2.
GB itself has some huge Smallies and Pike. Yes leg work. I find tossing a Daredevel works well in exploration as both species seem to respond to the red and white, as will other fish. If you're not in a boat seek out large boulders, fallen trees or weed beds from shore. Places that provide cover for fish and cast to them. Top-waters will work at night-fall and dawn in locations like this.
Finally, Salmon and Trout will be staging soon at the mouths of many tribs in the area.

The daredevils spoon is a good idea, I think the area like that because it's sandy and so shallow at shore for such a big distance

you're right about the lack of obvious cover and structure. i go to the cottage which is on the eastern side in tiny township. when i go to the beach there, there's no weeds whatsoever and just a handful of rocks. this makes for good swimming but not so great fishing.

however, i have seen on a couple occasions, guys wading out to their hips and casting from there and pulling in smallies. so they are there but they are hard to locate, just like the obvious fishing spots are hard to locate.

we just drive the ten minutes to penetang harbour and fish there where there are weeds.

if you're close by and got time, just keep looking and keep chucking those lures.

Went to cranberry harbour in collingwood along the black bass Bay Area I think, used a livetarget yellow perch there where a few fish jumping beside the empty look where they're would usually be some small panfish. Just then my rod starts tugging a bit, I react but then for the second time in my life now, the fish ( 10+ inch bass) jumps out of the water trying to grab it and takes it underwater and then spits it out. :-( But I learned the lures to use natural looking lures and blue shiny ones will get a strike because of the water clearness!
