What day is the actual opening day of bass season. Usually last Saturdsy in June but this year that is June 30 , so seems late to me

Ticker · May 10, 2018

Yes it is
Its allways seems that way

I believe it opens on the fourth Saturday in June. This year that would be the 23rd.

And, as a reminder, the East half of the Inner Bay becomes a sanctuary on May 15... see http://www.longpoint.on.ca/long-point-inner-bay-fishing-sanctuary/ for a map

Is there a marker for the western side of the sanctuary? How is it defined? Is there signage?

Has been a line of buoys on both sides in past years... not sure if that tradition has carried on

Bass opener in regs says 4th Saturday in June, could call mnr I think the office in port Dover puts the buoys out.
