Entering Canadian water

[Kevin J Legg]

I heard this from three different friends, although they did fish Canadian side.

Maybe they were sent back for other issues€?

Don’t believe so.

I don’t know if I would say the bite sucked. We landed 15 lost numerous more and a pile of smallies. Females were mostly spawned out and the males were all creaming in the boat. It was definitely tough but I don’t think it sucked by any means.

Does anybody know what the closest boat launch would be to the massena dam? Have never been that far up the river before and plan on going up this weekend but have no idea where to launch.

Up here, we've been told that the border currently is closed both on land and on the water but on Lakes Erie & St. Clair many are still crossing to take advantage of the early bass season state-side. some have been turned back but many have not encountered any issues. Still don't think that it is worth because at some point they will make an example of someone!

I was boating on the St. Lawrence river this past weekend (30 May 2020) and went by the Wellesley Island station of the US Customs and Border Protection. There were a few agents at the dock, and i went over and asked them if i could transit downriver along Grenadier Island, on the Canadian channel side. Their words were " I would highly advise against it, if they catch you it will be a $750 fine.". They also anticipated that mid to late June is when the closure will be lifted, but weren't sure.  I thanked them and went downriver on the US side. That being said, I have known people that have done more than a casual crossing across the border but have not gotten hassled - but not getting stopped doesn't mean that they won't stop you if they are out.
