Sinker Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I did Got a few for the pan, had a great meal, and spent a great day with my little guy!! Can't beat that!! Still a bit of ice out there. Water is still really cold......34-38 degrees. All the usual spots I go were locked in with ice, or void of fish. We found them in an odd spot, and it took a lot of searching, but when we did, it was non stop action. Boat ran mint. No issues. Sinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 you notice a lot of debri on the water? Logs or anything of that nature. Always have that fear in early spring A little bit......just keep your eyes looking where you going and you'll be fine. There was more ice than debris!

Cudz Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 nice job I went to the Barrie Marina today for fun. Lots of fish but quite small. did manage to catch one jumbo 12 incher. Sometimes in the summer and fall I catch perch non-stop and they are everywhere in Simcoe. I always wonder how many perch there are in that lake. I bet there are more than 1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuNnYoOzE Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 no limit on perch then? WOW anyways good haul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 The limit on perch in that zone is unlimited, but Simcoe is in the exceptions, and I believe it's 50. I'd never keep that many anyway, but I know it has a limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never keep that many anyway, but I know it has a limit. yea it is a bit much but Im sure they are good eating and probably breed like crazy otherwise this type ot fishing may dwindle the population anywayws Im sure sinker is sensitive to these issues and I trust that no flaming going on man!

Joeytier Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Ah, ok. That lake is ridiculously full of perch. I catch them EVERYWHERE, ALL year, on EVERY type of bait, at ANY retrieval speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I catch them EVERYWHERE, ALL year, on EVERY type of bait, at ANY retrieval speed. Thats what I always say too......but today was a different game altogether for me. After 4 hours of nothing, I was ready to pack it in. They're easy to catch if they're there........but finding them was tough today. Between 3 of us, we kept around 60 perch. Prolly caught a couple hundred though Sinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuNnYoOzE Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 wow man I could freeze them and use some for cut~bait seeing those monster cats today I know have a new love@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) There are times when I go an hour without any and then wham! Non stop for the next hour, 40 fish like that. Limit is 50 fish per person with sport license. Spring and fall people catch and keep those numbers but generally in teh summer those numbers are quite a bit lower. Did you launch at Tiffen or is that Cook`s bay Edited April 11, 2009 by Cudz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musky66 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 If you go out of Sibbalds Pt. in the fall- you will see just how many Perch are in this lake! There will be literally tens of thousands in the shallows (maybe more!)- all fairly small....for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
