19,649-acre lake in Thunder Bay District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 44 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2002 (an MNRF lake survey). Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Traced from the shoreline, Mojikit Lake runs 19,841 acres with 143.9 miles of edge, broken up by 60 islands. An index of 7.3 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. 57% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 16 mi, about 8 mi across. You'll find it in Thunder Bay District. For a second option, Cleland Lake lies 11 mi east.
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 13 to 44 ft. Even in summer they hold at 13 to 44 ft; winter keeps them in 13 to 44 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 38 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 13 to 44 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 13 to 44 ft | dawn | Deep basin (38 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Rock reef (7 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 13 to 44 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (38 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Come spring, look for walleye tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 15 to 35 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 40 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 19 ft of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (6 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Summer | 15 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Fall | 12 to 40 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (19 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Winter | 20 to 40 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (38 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
Come spring, look for yellow perch tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 35 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deepest basin: a deep basin around 36 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 12 to 35 ft | midday | Deepest basin (36 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 15 to 35 ft | midday & dawn | Deepest basin (36 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 15 ft. Top water on the chart: Back-bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (19 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Sharp break (8 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Feeding flat (10 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 13 to 44 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 13 to 44 ft, and winter fish hold in 11 to 44 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 38 ft, rated prime for spring burbot. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 13 to 44 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (38 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 13 to 44 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (38 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 13 to 44 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (38 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 11 to 44 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (38 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
When the water first warms, lake sturgeon slide up into 3 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 15 to 40 ft, and by winter most fish are in 13 to 44 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 38 ft that scores prime in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dusk & night | Rock reef (6 ft) | |
| Summer | 15 to 40 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (38 ft) | |
| Fall | 13 to 44 ft | dusk | Deep basin (38 ft) | |
| Winter | 13 to 44 ft | midday | Deep basin (38 ft) |
