misfish

Maybe eating the perch like the lakers in Simcoe are doing.

After a quick 3 hour float about on 3 ft rollers this morning and no fish and a leak in me bladder,I headed home and got busy busy. Had trout to smoke and ribs to get happy on the indirect grill. Trout brined for 20 hours,air dried for 4 hours while I was away fishing on the rollers. Had the trout smoking by 9:30 am. Ribs started at noon, 300 deg for 4 hours. Fish was done by 2pm ( a splash of Canadian maple and rum from France ) courtesy of my friend that I smoked fish for to take home to his parents, and the ribs were done by 4 pm. Home made sauce glaze for the piggly beast. Busy busy day.

And yet,another free ride on Simcoe. The rollers sure were fun to ride. Why anyone pays to play at Wonderland, is beyond me. LOL

On charge every time I come off the water. Along with the trolling battery.

I have a few around here S. Call them my toon launches. ?

LMAO That launch is a joke. I have seen it all here. The Barrie marina is your best bet these days. They have it under control. Help you launch,pull yer boat to the side out of the way while you park. Yer a res,so give it a go. You will be impressed I am sure.

That is crazy numbers. Thanks for posting this. I had no idea. Have atter then. Simcoe does not get that close to any fish here. If anything,numbers are going down.

Are you friggen joking here ? They do not have a handle on anything.

Forgot they commercial fish out there, so I guess take what ya can when ya can.

Nice fish and no disrespect Andrew when I say, the on fire thing will be done if this is done by all anglers out there. Reminds me of pictures back in the 40,s and 50,s. Hey,it,s your right.

It is taboo this time of year to say out loud. But yes they are there. DEEP. Chasing perch just like the lake trout are. The lake is going dark green right now. Da bloom da bloom is happening.

Not sure I can do that stuff anymore G, but sure looks tasty. So my results of the smoke from Sunday. After being in the fridge over night till Monday, I enjoyed the nice texture, not to wet and not to dry. The smoke taste was just enough. Tonight I ate a nice thick piece. I was like,I made this ? LOL Every batch turns out nothing like the last. This is very cool. Seems my fellow co-workers were in agreement today. It was To bad I am the only guy that fishes. LOL

I have never fished the moon river my whole life. Have always heard great report from those that fish it. Nice going It,s funny all the reports of high water every where, yet Simcoe is dropping every day. The tell tale rock at my launch shows a foot.

Nice pickerel G. Thanks for sharing.

I have seen him the past couple of weeks at timmies here. 5am. he is renoing his basement. I will not be up that way til Oct. China bowl will be no more. Huge mansion being built on the land. Ya I can walk down or toon down, but there are so many other spots to fish..

Nice GB laker bud.

Nice hear from you Marty. Dang yer boy is getting huge,what a monster. That is one hell of a fish fry sir. Thanks for sharing.

Do they still make flieflicker line ? I know there was good bad about it. Ya,stay away from braid.

It was 10 deg at the start, then got hot fast.

As for blame the parent? I say fk that. Look at peer pressure. Ya,like it was back in the late 70,s in high school. Yup, they have a choice . Right or wrong,they make it. How many of us have said,been there done that,dont do it ? Todays kids have way more info then we did back then. The addiction can be beat. Sometimes it takes a real life awakening. I have watched it personally. Just got a text the salmon are hitting big time in BC.

With the smoke this unit puts out,I had to run an extension cord out to the pasture allowing the n/w wind to flow the smoke away. LOL I do not want to piss off the neighbors. I did have one come out and ask for a sample when it was done. I couldn't get the smoker past 155 deg. Tucked away out of the wind. I could of had it in the sun like the old one,but I want to see what it could do. These chunks were thicker then I would usually do, but I wanted to give the new smoker a work out. A light brush of Canadian maple and 6.5 hours later, it,s done. I sampled a piece and it was good,but I like it cold the next day. Really give the true taste IMO.
