Simcoe lakers on fire

[steverowbotham]

After a slower than usual weekend, topped off with a laker in the mid-teens, I figured the bite should be back on today. Only had 3 hours to fish, so we stayed in KBay and looked for fish in 75-90 fow and marked more clusters in 84-87 feet so we anchored and started there.

 

Kelli started off with a buckshot spoon and me with a tube. In 10 minutes I had two fish in the boat, about 3 and 4 pounds. Both fish followed the tube up to about 40 feet before hitting.

 

After another 3 pounder, Kelli made the switch to a tube and immediately picked one up by yo yoing the tube.

 

The action died for about a half hour and I was hanging my tube 55 feet down over 86 feet when a big streak went vertical to my tube and the chase was on, the fish caught its prey and I set the hook into the heaviest fish I've felt in a while. She immediately turned and headed back to the depths peeling drag. As I went to loosen my drag, snap. I never got a look at her, but she was a HEAVY fish. Too bad, I'll get her next time.

 

In 3 hours, we landed 8 lakers and lost another 4 or 5.

 

The action is heating up again, should be good for a while still.
