Meaford Fishing Fleet Promises Comfort and Skill on Georgian Bay
The Meaford fishing fleet offers comfortable, well equipped trips for American and local sportsmen. Bill Hamilton says over a million anglers have fished Georgian Bay with the fleet, which started with a few boats and now represents a quarter million dollars in private investment. Each boat is privately owned. guides compete freely, delivering high success with five fish per person daily, average fish weighing five pounds. Boats carry fourteen anglers, travel three miles an hour over ten miles out, and cost about four thousand dollars with 100 horsepower engines. The Dominion Government inspects vessels annually for safety. boats carry firefighting gear compasses and blind navigation apparatus, and not a single passenger has been lost in fifteen years.
