You got to remember that I am connected to Lake Huron and We have water as deep as 140 feet 10 minutes from my launch at 50 mph. I fish for Salmon out here in August and September in 80-125 ft. of water down rigging. Then once the rainbow and salmon move into the river it’s noodle rod time. But for the most part the relative cover and structure is the same as you guys down south, just that our wet lands plants are a bit different, b.c we have alot of “flowering” water plants.
This is important to know!
We have averted alot of hydro power (from water dams) to the USA and water to the Mississippi, so our water levels have gone down by almost 5-8 feet in the last 8 years, so there is alot of rock shelves, shoals, boulders, and what is called “Canadian Shield” rock (very large rock tables that rise out of the water, created by tectonic plate movement millions of years ago). You really have to know your way around here up north in Georgian Bay. It’s not uncommon for a new boater to rip a whole bottom end off up here their first year boating; by that i mean skag, bullet, prop, oil pissing all over the water, shear pin gone… bad stuff.
But with all this rocky risk, and or 5 bass limit (over 13” for tourny’s) we have a strong population of smallmouth bass and tons of large mouth in lakes that would blow your mind, b/c some of them have probably never even been fished before.
