Due to the fact that my boat motor has been out of commission for the better part of the summer I have been trying my hand at various random spots on lake simcoe and nearby lakes. I have been fishing from shore, waist deep in water, and from docks. My biggest fish from shore this year was 2.5 pounds but i could not get a pic because I had waded out 30 yards and by the time I got back in to get the camera and take the pic the fish would have suffered. Here are some pics of the other fish I have caught. One is a 2 pounder and the rest range from 1 - 1.75 pounds (ish).
Most of my fish have been caught drop shotting Gulp leech or gulp fry. I have also caugth several on 6" senko and one on a topwater popper.
Sometimes it can be a bit frustrating but any bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.
