First off.. Welcome aboard!
Simcoe is easy to figure out for perch and whitefish. Just follow the crowds.
Perch stay shallow (20 to 40'). Lefroy is a good place to start. Use little jigs tipped with a minnow, and stinker hook with a minnow tail or head. Perch eyes also work great.
The white fish are generally deeper (50 to 100'). If you have a fish finder, then your off to a great start. Drill a hole, if you don't mark a school of whitefish in the first 20 minutes or so, MOVE... Use a Williams 1/2 n 1/2 ice jig, or any other fancy jig/spoon of your choice. Bounce it off bottom to kick up a cloud. Every now and then, bring it up 10 or 20 feet then back down again.
If you see fish on the screen and they are not biting, try slowly moving the lure up and away from the fish. The aggressive fish will follow it up (you can see it on your fish finder). Sometimes that works very well at getting them to strike.
I've never iced a Simcoe Pike.. So I'm not the guy for that.
