Shore fishing for smallies

[Cudz]

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.

Nice smallies Cudz. Nice to see someone who owns a boat fishing from shore. I have buddies that won't even fish in someone elses boat if theirs is in the shop.

Cudz, if you ever want to get out on the water, just drop me a PM bud. Perhaps you can show me a thing or two about dropshotting

That is nice of you to ask. My boat is fixed and it comes back next week. One of the big reasons I fish from shore is because I have 3 kids. I take them with me and they play in the park while I fish lol. Time is my problem. I don't have much free time. Maybe later in the summer we could hook up and fish Simcoe or little lake.

Nice! Fishing from shore is better than no fishing. And a lot cheaper! Still, hope you get your boat fixed. You can cover a lot more water. Thanks for sharing.

I know your pain, my boat was in the shop for 6 weeks this Spring and I was rendered to shore fishing as well. You did well from shore!!!
