Shoreline Fishing around Kingston, Ontario
Lots of good *offshore* fishing spots around Kingston!
When I first moved here I got busy finding spots where I could get
a line into the water within easy reach. Some of my favourites and all within 15-20
min. drive are:
The Collins Bay Pier off hwy 33 (Bath Rd just west of Collins Bay Rd) for LGM, Pike & carp.
Kingston Mills, top & bottom for Bass, Pike, carp, panfish & some crappie near the top. Salmon will run up to the Power Station.
Lower Brewers Locks on the lower side for Pike, Bass, carp & panfish.
Dog Lake in Battersea. Take Montreal rd out of Kingston (turns into Battersea Road), into Battersea, over the small bridge, first right onto Wellington Street, follow 5 min to the end. You'll pass a public boat launch. Don't fish inside that small bay as its a Fish Sanctuary. At the end you can park your car at the turnaround and walk 5min through the pines to the point for Bass and Pike. Beautiful spot as the sun comes up, you’ll hear loons starting to cry...
30 Minute drive just NW of Sydenham at Gould Lake. Trails along both side of the lake allow you to hike in to a nice selection of Deep shoreline spots. Small/Largemouth bass and panfish. Canoe/kayak rentals available. This has become a new and favourite spot, scenic and quiet
30
min drive from Kingston just past Gananoque off the 1000 Is. Parkway into Ivy
Lea, fish off the immigration pier for Bass, Pike, Muskie, perch & Carp.
Other popular spots which I don't frequent:
Lake Ontario near the KGH on King Street for Pike, some Bass, Perch and Carp.
The small bay next to the Dupont plant on Front Rd (King St. W.) for Pike, Carp & Bullhead.
Now if you have a small boat, canoe or a kayak, and a local map, access points are endless!
