Ice Fishing in Long Point Bay

So you want to take advantage of the no fishing license requirement for the Family Day weekend but don't know where to go?  With the weather looking like it will cooperate and even the calendar showing this weekend as the best fishing days of the month you better get out while you can.

If you're considering going out on Long Point Bay let us give you some tips.  Hut rentals will be really tough to secure this late in the game.  You really want to call in by Wednesday if you want to book one for the weekend.  It's usually not a problem booking a hut during the week if you can get a day off work.

There's really only one place to rent a hut on Long Point.

The other two outfitters are actually located in St. Williams.  If you're coming down 24 from Simcoe, turn left at the Shell Station and follow that road straight to the ice.  If you forgot something there's a store in St. Williams that carries fishing stuff and outdoor gear.

* Offers summer time fishing charters out of Port Burwell.  These charters should be called catching and not fishing.  It's a meat run.

* If you're a little nervous about going on the ice, have no fear.  Granger can likely walk out to you and carry you back in, personally.

Something to keep in mind though.   

Hunters lie and wait while fishermen wait and lie so don't believe everything you hear about fish not biting.  Some secrets are best kept secret. 

If you want to try your hand at hawkin hawgs you just have to try it yourself.
