Fishing and Hunting
Whitney Bay is famous for its beauty and its fishing. Since the bay is completely protected you can always get out and fish. Smallmouth Bass, Perch, Northern Pike and Cisco abound (Cisco season is very busy!). Lake Trout and Salmon are caught just outside of the bay in the St. Mary's River, and there is a Salmon Fest held every August offering prizes for the largest fish caught. We also have bait, tackle, and rental boats ready for a day or week of fishing. Fall hunting includes: Ducks, Partridge, Woodcock and Deer. Spring is known for Smelt fishing and excellent Morel mushroom picking.
Fort Drummond Marine is a weigh-in station for the 6th Annual Drummond Island Salmon Derby (August 12th thru the 19th)! Prizes are $1600 for 1st Place (biggest fish caught), $800 for 2nd Place, $400 for 3rd Place, $100 each for biggest fish entered by a woman and child, $50 daily prize for biggest salmon caught each day, and there are other non-cash prizes too! Entry fee is $50.00 U.S. For more information, contact the Drummond Island Tourism Association (906-493-5245).
Watersports
In addition to camping, hunting, fishing, and boating, Fort Drummond Marine and Resort also allows many kinds of water sports in the immediate bay surrounding it. These include swimming - including a floating swim raft - paddleboating - one is available for use on the beach - and anything else you can bring to the marina or drive/pilot into it (as long as rules are observed).
