Big Gull Lake, Ontario Canada

Lake Description:

Big Gull Lake is one of the lakes that can be found in the Land O Lakes region of Eastern Ontario.  Easily accessible with a number of lodges and resorts on it, the fishing for bass and walleye on Big Gull Lake is among the best in the area. I know there are smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, walleye (pickerel) and northern pike in this lake.  Send me an email to tell me where to look for the fish based on the grid I have placed over the lake.  When you tell me the spots where the fish are, I'll add a fish indicator to the map that you see below.  I'll also add helpful tips to the area beneath the map.  

Big Gull Lake is 95 km (59 miles) north east of Kingston, Ontario, Canada.  From Kingston you can take Hwy 15 straight north to Henderson Rd.  From Ottawa, head west on Hwy 7 until you hit Hwy 15.  Turn right at that intersection because that is Henderson Rd.

Visitor Tips:

Fish-Hawk and Bobber got some great largemouth in the most east section of the lake (many people call it Little Gull Lake).  We got a giant at the mouth of North Creek - B5 on the map - black Power worms and smoke Berkley Jerk Shads. Catch walleye by casting or trolling perch pattern floating rapalas at dusk and in the dark off the point at B6 - you'll see a chimney on the point.  At F4 there is an inlet with fallen spruce and stumps - get your largemouth there.  Powerworms and jerk shads again.  Pietor got piked a whack of times where B5 meets C5 - I think because the water was deeper and cooler there.

Steve G:
In box E6 just NW of Big Boundary Island is an excellent spot to catch Walleye. I was there last year and we were catching Walleye every night around sundown in 15 to 30 feet of water just straight off the island. In box D5 just after you go through the narrows and to the right in the weeds in 10 feet of water we caught many LM Bass.

Jeff F:
There is an island (rock) just off Camp's Bay where you can catch some walleye. Jig plastic baits over the rocks that are around the island (rock). There is also a long bar that extends somewhat between the island (rock) and the cliff which is to the left of Camp's Bay. Most of the bar is closer to the cliff. Just drift bait or plastics over the bar until you find some fish. Troll stick baits on the surface after dusk for some additional walleyes. Before dusk cast poppers around the island (rock) for some explosives smallmouth and pike action.

Fishhit:
Two summers ago I had great fishing  on Big Gull during the first two weeks of July.  The narrows around the local grid J-2 were very exceptional. We trolled floating worm harnesses on 1/2 ounce bottom sinkers with 48 in. leaders. Best fishing was between 7pm. and dark. Keep your eyes open for the submerged rocks to either side of the narrows.
