Great Fall Bass Fishing close to Harris Hill Resort. Family Fun for all ages of fishermen. Spring fishing for smallmouth Bass: we find Smallmouth Bass in their spawning areas which are in shallow sandy bays, shallow reefs and rocky points and shorelines. For success during this time we recommend top water artificial baits like e.g. (skitter pops, chug bugs, tube jigs) and other artificial bait eg.( crank baits, soft jerk baits). For live bait options use a jig and a minnow or a hook and a leech, with casting and reeling in. Fall bass fishing: we find the Smallmouth Bass in their early spring areas again which are sandy bays, shallow reefs, rocky points and shorelines. Lake of the Woods is one of the few Lakes in Northwestern Ontario that has Largemouth Bass fishing. Although largemouth bass fishing on Lake of the Woods is not well known in northwestern Ontario, they are found in large number on Lake of the Woods. The population of Largemouth Bass is abundant and growing every year. Largemouth bass swim mainly in warmer water bodies with shallow cover. Early spring the Largemouth Bass are moving from deep water to mouths of bays. Recommended artificial lures are crank baits, shallow and deep runners. In Spring they are found on spawning beds in shallow bays with preferably sandy bottoms. Use soft jerk baits eg. berkly jerk shad, zoom fluks, or use a lipless crank bait like rapala rattlin rap, and for live bait us a jig with a leech. In Summer Largemouth Bass are found on shorelines, under fallen trees, in weedy bays and points or reefs. This time of year we use spinner baits, buzz baits, flippen jigs and top water baits like skitter pops or chug bugs and soft jerk baits. In the Fall is when those big hogs seem more abundant. To have successful Bass Fishing you need to fish on the mouth of shallow bays,on reefs and points. In fall just about all artificial and live baits work well. We use a jig and either a minnow or a leech. They are attracted to spinners with a live minnow also. Should you choose to have a GUIDED fishing experience, please view GUIDED Fishing Vacations [0]
