  1. I have the Same smoker as pictured above, best hundred bucks I ever spent. I am upgrading to an ugly drum smoker this summer.somi can set it and forget it. But that one will cook some mean ribs . brisket takes about 15 hours so I start it on the smoker then in the oven overnight. Notihing like waking up to the smell of smoked brisket in the mornin

  2. Even though trout opener is right here, I can't take my mind off of simcoe spring whitefish. Problem is I have never been out for them.. I have a few questions and while there is tons of info online about spring laker tactics there's not much for whitefish.

     

    Where should I start my hunt? Shallow reefs with Steep drops to deep water? Rocky points of 55 ft that drops to 100 ft on either side? ( one comes to mind).

     

    What are the crazy buggers doing this time of year? Feeding? On the biology websites it says ther in the rivers? Is this one of those cases where simcoe fish have different patterns?

     

    Are they still schooled up like in the winter? And do they remain like that all year round?

     

    Are they more or less aggressive in the spring?

     

     

    Thanks for reading, feel free to om if ya wish

  3. I'm going to be hitting simcoe for lakers and lake o on real calmmdays close to shore this year for the first time ( just bought my first real boat). I'm interested in the fish seekers I looked at them online seem legit. I figure I could troll a fish seeker with a big flashy spoon at around 80 ft down and drag a 3 way along the bottom with a floating crankbait for the bottom lurkers does this sound like it might get me some fish or should I just pony up and get riggers?

  4. I picked up a small fiberglass runabout with a merc. 65 hp blue band motor and a Viking 55 hp for 200 bucks on the weekend. The hull is toast needs new transom stringers and floors. And I'm not up for the work. Anyone know if simcoe transfer station will take it as is or do I need to cut it up?

    On the same note if anyone has an old aluminum hull sitting around the need gone give me a holler, have trailer will Tavel.

  5. Wow. If that ones 90 lb there's a few in the lower Niigata tipping the 50'mark you would need 200 pound braid and a marlin rod if they got Into the current tho. When I was a kid in NC my buddy's dad had a private lake about 3 acres in size. We were only allowed to fish one day a week ( he diddnt want the fishe pressured, he would feed the catfish an entire big bag of dog food once a week, from the end of the dock and there were some monsters inthere.
