I got a message from Fishnsled a while ago about the possibility of some ice fishing on Lake Simcoe over the holidays...and as luck had it, schedules and the weather aligned and cooperated!
Today, Fishnsled, Headhunter, HH's friend and I ventured out to Cooks Bay in search of some perch. We headed out on foot at sunrise, and walked out a little bit. HH was eager to try out his new auger and he fired it up and it cut through the ice like butter! AFter a few minutes, we were fishing...and HH starts catching almost immediately. The action was non-stop it seemed all morning...and the final tally was over 450 fish! Mostly dinks, but got a few for the frying pan. No matter what HH tells you, we all caught about the same number of fish
It was a perfect day...we packed up at 1pm and hit the road. Not bad for a few hours out on the ice. The winds were light, the temperature was mild...couldn't have asked for a better day!
Here are some pics...

My fish was bigger than Fishnsled!!!
This was my haul for the day...
And a little while later, they looked like this...the kids kept picking at the plate before it was time to eat...
Thank you gentlemen...hope to hit the ice with you guys again soon!
