Budget Fishing Trip around Toronto

[Geki]

HI There!
I'm looking for some leads on a budget fishing trip. 8-10 guys total, $3000 total to spend on a weekend fishing trip within 3 hours of Toronto. Looking for beds and boats for summertime Fri-Sunday. Any ideas? Do-able?
thanks!

3 hours will be your toughest challenge I think...if you are able to extend you time, you could possibly find something around North Bay/ Temagami.

Not sure if you went already but I recommend Mashkinonje Lodge on Nipissing's West Arm. Lake Nipissing has pike, both bass, walleye, perch and other panfish and big muskies. Accommodations and hosts are first class, and there's groceries nearby. Roomy cottages for a group your size. Think it's slightly further than 3 hours, say 3 hours and 20 minutes, but if there's no traffic I think 3 hours is do-able.

You will find most lodges weeks run Saturday to Saturday, might be hard to find someone who has openings Friday to Sunday.
