oh i do love the simcoe smallies, despite the warm temps they just keep putting on their "winter coat"

Good to hear they are safe Brian.

thanks guys, the lake keeps pumpin oiut big smallies, I love it!

nicely done Brian, keep those north end spots a secret

They're on up north Brian, it will be protected tomorrow. Should be fishing the Barrie event out of Balsam tomorrow.

Well Cal and I got out today for some smallie fishing on the north end of Simcoe. They were on today, we got them on everything from jerkbaits, to spinnerbaits, to tubes and dropshots. Even got some on my new prototype bait, you'll see it when it's ready. We caught about 15 fish today, about 19 pounds for a tournament, not overly big for Simcoe but respectable. Even got a n ice pike, which I havent caught to many of outside of Cook's Bay. Threw some tourney shirts on for pictures, but it was not an actual tournament, just figured the pics would look more professional haha. Notice the same name on both shirts haha, i might have to photoshop those later. Cal with his spinnerbait pike. A nice dropshot fish Our four biggest fish of the day, all in the 4 lbs class. Hope you enjoyed, keep readin'

nice coho

SSSHHHHHH!!!

and brian, north of the stones, there's like 5 km of bowling alley haha

Might find a little more info if your spell it like this ... Kashagawigamog

we had 5... but kinda hard to hold 2 five pounders in one hand

make 10000 casts a day!!! when you find one, you'll find lots.

thanks guys, i had a blast this weekend.

tribs is short for tributaries, the rivers that flow into the lake. 15'6 is way too long for the eastern tribs, definitely a Niagara/Saugeen kind of deal, big rivers. 13'6 or even an 11'6 will do for the easterns and your westerns like bronte and credit

Sorry, I'm very busy with school, and I've been fishing too much, so no time for a thorough report. Friday Kelli and I headed out to Cooch to try some smallies. Figured the limestones would be on... wrong. But about a km north of the stones they sure were, a few boats out there, even some largies. Saturday Cal and I braved the winds to fish the north end of Simcoe. We chose the north end to stay out of the wind, I dont usually like that area, but the dang roughest ride of my life from Barrie to almost Orillia was certainly worth while. We dragged tubes and dropshotted in 18-30 feet for pig smallies. Even got a tagged fish. Sunday Had a tournament on Gloucester Pool. Our goal was to get a limit of smallies, then look for a big largemouth. We did what we wanted and weighed 14 pounds. Good e nough for 5th place!

Brian, I'm not sure if its restricted to the bay or not, I'll have to find out.

hahaha priceless

For anyone that thinks its photoshopped, because ive had that complaint elsewhere, check this out .. and excuse my language foul at the end, i was pretty excited.

didnt weigh it to be honest, just got a pic and he started milting everywhere, so he went back, and actually swam away, i hope he gets to finish out his job!

btw fish were caught on stoneflies

Not much time to describe it, but what a feeling!!! Got a decent fish to start My buddy Cal got his first salmon ever James got one, we're all tied up. Then my P.B.

nice. havent seen a white crappie in quite some time.

You complained Sparrow had no weeds? I guess you were in 40+ feet of water ?? haha that lake is filled with weeds, only a couple rocky areas in the whole lake.
