278-acre lake in Thunder Bay District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 32 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Jojo Lake maps at 276 acres behind 6.4 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 2.8, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Roughly 62% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 2.8 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. It sits in Thunder Bay District. If the bite dies, Blue Lake is 4 mi to the northwest.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 10 to 32 ft. The depth story barely changes: 10 to 32 ft through summer, 10 to 32 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 27 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 32 ft chart-limited; documented 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 10 to 32 ft chart-limited; documented 40 to 90 ft | dawn | Deep basin (27 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 10 to 32 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 70 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (27 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 2 to 8 ft. They move out to 8 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 4 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
