Small mouth fishing in Ontario ! Tips for early season catch and release !

Small mouth fishing in the early spring can be the best fishing year round for this species. The bass are aggressive and BIG making an unreal experience to target. I use multiple baits to try and lure these tanks into a quick bite for a quick release. The cotton cordell big O is my favorite bait to use during this time (Start of May till close on May 10th).

Has to be Lake Ontario or the St. Lawrence. It’s the only bass fishing open in Ontario in May.
I came back to say I heard him say St. Lawrence. 🤙

Do you not have trouble with 10lb braid digging?
Also you mentioned the trout net but you have that big boy sitting right there? Was it ripped or something?
…I wish I lived closer to the Thousand Islands! Good fishing in Niagara but early season catch and release is harder here without a real boat because we don’t have any of those BEAUTY bays and shallow water areas like you have in this video! 🤙🤙 got a cottage in the Kawarthas but it’s still a hike down to Kingston area….

I use ten pound power pro and as long as you spool it tight ya should be good ! I’ve never had it dig but I had to take time to dial in my baitcaster for back lash ! Also that net is massive I just brought it incase I accidentally caught a pike hahah you can’t see in the video but the net on that thing is extra deep so if you miss and the fish swims into the outside of your net and hooks into it you will loose the fish !
