Another couple weeks, once the winds start from incessant low pressure systems due to gulf hurricane season come our way it’s hard to get out either due to thunderstorm activity or high winds. Once things cool down we tend to get a lot of north winds and that pushes the fish to our friends on the southern border.
Get out now !! Regards, dman

What dman says!!! Usually buy my winterizing stuff after the 15th of September.

Other than the couple hours I spent on the pier during the Pt Bruce fun derby, (which I don't really count because it was cut short when my son started to not feel well) I haven't been fishing since my last time out with @tailfathers at the beginning of the month. I'm going to try to get out fishing once or twice more before I call it a season and go back into hibernation. We'll see. Last year I called it a season a little earlier than normal and went back into hibernation about the second week of Sept.
My seasons (only have 2, fishing season and hockey season) kind of overlap a little. Fishing season starts in mid to late April or early May and ends at midnight on Sept 30. Only once in the past 30 years have I gone fishing after that date. (last year) Hockey season in normal times, (before Covid) starts when NHL training camps start in mid Sept. (this year the preseason games begin on Sept 25th) and ends when the Leafs are done in the spring. During the months of Oct thru til mid April or early May, I'll be hibernating, as usual.

Don't give up on Long Point Bay too early! In the distant past, I have caught some nice Outer Bay walleye on the Thanksgiving weekend and I'm hopeful that @Dotcom or @spilliard1 might have some news about the LPBAA Fall Pike Classic Derby going again this year.

I’ll fish Erie until they stop biting consistently and have moved on, but the boat stays out of storage as long as it’s safe to do so and I can fish. LSC or lake simcoe for perch in the fall! If you love to fish you always find a way

I am usually off the water by mid-November . Some of the best pike fishing in the inner bay is in the fall. As many days out on the water as possible for me! Makes the winter seem not as long

With great happiness, will be off labour day weekend get the boat cleaned, winterized and wrapped for storage. Right hip surgery has been postponed twice, and I have been given the green light for Sept 13. Next year, not only fishing from my boat, but adding a trolling motor to the bow for St Clair River walleye, and trout season on the upper grand. Very much looking forward to next April
