I love this wind site. It is so accurate. https://www.windy.com/?44.355,-79.689,5 I had 3 hours to get a fish in and wasted no time. Lots of bait on the bottom. I love this. For one thing,it brings big fish around,also,when you see the bait lift off the bottom or start to go away from the screen,that big fish is around. First fish was on so fast. The bait was like gone in seconds and the first white just smashed the new meegs elite. About an hour later,bait starts to rise off the bottom. Wait for it,wait,there you are. Sticks around,goes up and smashes the high hook mayfly larvae. I just tied this one this morning . Reports of bellies full of these going around. Not sure how it still worked as the herring were putting a beating on it. Right on time,9:15 the winds started,snow started. Off I got a happy feller. Lots of ice Before and after,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Burp

I remember meeting TJ for the first time at a GTG. He was with this young lady that worked at Hooters. He got rather nervous when I said I was a newf,but the young lady had a big smile on her face. Not sure what that was all about,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Good times

I am looking into a 2 week trip out west this year. I have some good contacts out there that can put me up and put me on fish.

That is 6 ft + higher then norm. I can stand on sand at that imbuntment.

Rethinking that long rod thing. 😆 🤣 20230216_143325.mp4

I came across these cool glass beads. The imagination was jumping and thought to self,yup,lets play. So I did. Toss them for some pan fish.

Do not know of the Zoo,but heard of it. I joined up when I got my first PC. Got an invite to join on O F N. A great lady invited me. And here I am still,yet she is not. Miss ya Joey. 🙏

All naturals.

Access was good brother. Same place different year. I will not be going back unless we get an extream cold front. Late Feb looks like it might come .

This morning was a 1 hour window. The bite was fast and furious for that time. They were chomping on the ice grubs. Orange and green. Then the sun was putting a beating on the ice already. It was non stop loud pings and groans. Pressure cracks were starting to open and even the small ones that were 8" were starting to sink and water pools were starting to form. Off by 10 am. Kept enough for a fresh feed. Got my perch fix for now.

Headed out this morning for some shallow white fish. I was out on this spot last week for the first time. Ice this year on Simcoe is so sketchy near the big lake. Rolled into my parking spot with fog covering the lake. Decided to slow my roll and take my time loading up the smitty and get on my way. Boy, this is hard for a guy that is out there set up and ready an hour or more before day light. Age thing I guess. Game plan was to walk to a shallow starting point,then work my way to the drop. As I am loading the smitty, I am thinking,do I really need the heater and hub ? Sure glad I did load it on,as the damp fog with -5 temp,was a bit for my old paws. Got to my set up spot,drill , drop camera to see bottom. Looks good. Pop up the hub,turn the heater on and drop. Didn't take long and they were coming in. Thought wow,going to be a good morning. Hit right off the bat on the high hook blood worm tie. Reel up a 12" juvi whitie. Watching the screen that big yellow blob on the bottom was breaking apart. Turns out, it,s a pack of juvi whities. After the sun broke the fog away,I could see where I was walking. So packed the heater and hub for the rest of the morning and moved a bit deeper. Same thing. A bit deeper,same thing. Moved again for the 4th time. SAME THING. Nothing but juvi whites. Once I moved to the drop, there were no juvies,and,there were no other fish. I am not complaining at all about this morning. I know in 2-3 years,those little fellas,they going to be my dinner. Great to see. THEN, 10 AM it started. Boom,roll,bang,roll,boom,growl. That sun was making that ice very unhappy already. I actually felt that ice lift and drop. That was enough for me to say,I,ll come back another day. LOL It even had another guy say,you feel that ? Yup.

Since there is only the 2 of ya,ll bantering back and forth, please take to PM. Have a great day.

Good morning ya,ll, PLAY NICE. Have a great day.

I have done the boil,then smoother with garlic and butter and fresh dill.

It,s the back. Just looks like 1 piece.

Nothing better then fresh

There has been many warnings about the ice at Johnson beach. You can be on 7" and walk 10 ft away and be on 2". Been there.

Seem fine this morning,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Walked out late, had a meeting,pass 3 guys,drill and well,OOPS there it is.

Been seeing some crazy perch reports this winter. They are more like spring reports. Nice to hear ya got into them Cliff. Now down south you go and warm them bones. LOL

Naw,I am the lazy guy eating sandwiches in the back ground.

You two testing me already EH,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, LMAO

Managed to get a few orders completed this morning as the smoker was doing what it does,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Sweet and salty candy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Thursday looks like a good morning to get a few hours in before that cold snap shuts them down. That,s ok, work the weekend and another barometer change come Monday. Just in time for fishing again.

Do not forget where ya put them jigs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
