Mogg Bay is a shallow, expansive tidal bay on the Melville Peninsula near the community of Igloolik in Nunavut. The coastline here is generally low-lying, bordered by very shoal water extending significant distances offshore, with the notable exception of the steep and rugged Khemig Island and the Coxe Islands group, which rise to over 30 meters. The bay is a traditional and active fishing ground for the local Inuit community, used for both summer and ice fishing. Its waters are influenced by the dynamics of the Foxe Basin, with ice from the north sometimes drifting into the area during late summer. The region is remote, with Igloolik serving as a cultural hub and the primary access point for this area.

Fishing spots, boat ramps & amenities

Learn how to get on Mogg Bay. Uncover great fishing access points, boat ramps, and all the facilities you need for an unforgettable day on the water. Some locations shown may border or include private property. Always check property boundaries and applicable regulations before visiting. onWater's Public & Private Land layer can help you plan your access with confidence.

Areas near structural features are productive. The waters around the Coxe Islands and the rugged shores of Khemig Island attract fish. The shallow flats that border much of the coastline can be productive for foraging fish. The confluence area near the Crozier River, which flows into the head of adjacent Quilliam Bay, is another noted fishing location. Anglers must exercise extreme caution due to uncharted rocks reported in the passage between Coxe Islands and Igloolik Island.
