Thanks fer the report, Steve. Will help on deciding the week-end plans.

Dave Masse and I decided to give it a go for the Perch at Cooks Bay. We went to a spot Dave had success with a few days ago. We were set-up for fishing by 9:20 AM. I beleive the key was green coontail weeds which hosted tiny scud, a type of fresh water shrimp, if I am not mistaken. You can see them clinging to the weeds. The Perch we caught were what some consider to be "dinks", but I wanted to have a feed, so I kept them. We tried moving to deeper water, but did not catch anything. After trying two other spots, all by walking, we returned to the 1st one and caught some more. The action was really non stop. As soon as you got your offering on bottom and lifted 2-6 inches, tap, tap, there was another. A steady lifting motion proved their undoing. If I tried setting the hook, it always resulted in yanking the bait out of their tiny mouths. Also, the time I spent sharpening my hooks the night b4 proved to be time well spent. We were paid a visit by a Conservation Officer, Mitch, who was anxipous about having his picture taken. In the photo, It looks like Dave is slapping him, but he is really obliging the CO by covering his face, which as you can see is unnecessary, as the CO had pulled down his riding safety helmet. On one of our forays looking for another spot we came across Rico Boxing. I got him to demonstrate the effectiveness and speed of a manual Swede Bore auger, which features an off-set handle. I saw first hand how much quicker it bore a hole over the old type inline handle Mora auger. Rico was on his way back, and when I looked he actually ran the whole 3/4 mile ( 1Km) to shore. He is in great shape! So I managed a total of 29 Perch, and Dave had the requisite 25 on his conservation license. On the way back I took the time to take a pic of some young future possible NHL fodder playing a game of hockey on the ice that they or someone had scraped. It was good to watch them play, with all their youthfull energy. I myself was winded from the walk.

Your getting close. Now can anyone see why these three outgoing anglers have failed to pull one measly little perchy perch from that big ole Lake Simcoe. Look again, it is kinda obvious.

Eee doogies, youn feller, you mean there's more. Do share. I need some ener tain ment

If I know BBR, he took that Pic on purpose just ta rile tha community...didn't ya, didn't ya.

Are u sure there are fish to be caught there?

While tendin to the neighbourhood stray cat population, this little guy is making repeat visits..

I think I see the problem. Can anyone else?

Eeee doggies, you an Elly Mae have a heap in common with yer lov fer critters. Gotta admit tho, Jethro can out eat em all.

The perfect response.

A big thank you for this report. The Bay of Quinte is an important fishery, and the fact that it is still producing is very good news in view of the fact that it receives a lot of pressure.

Thanks fer sharin. There must have been current in that stretch.

You must be talking about this model ?

Awesome. Way to go.

Eee doggies Joey, that thar is some mighty inerestin critter. I been up half the night tryin to keep Elly Mae from headin up to Simcoe to look fer that Red Fox. That new shelter looks a mite comfy. Now go get some fish.

I thought it was fifty per person.

Winter wonderland! Thanks for showing us what snow looks like.

Wow, nice catch. good size too. I'm impressed!

Eee doggies, just holler, an I'll have granny fetch her doctorin book an get you some good ole time remedy..

Well it was a fine time with good eats and good company. Discussed many a tactic and fishing experinces. The ladies in the group held their own, being just as avid if not more than the gents. Here are a couple of pics: CCMT and Blythe Tybo
