simcoe whitefish

just to let everyone know

they are charging 10 bucks to park at Innisfil Beach Park

and from 6am on, there was a long line up to pay

I went else where, what can I say, I hate crowds and waiting in line

 

got out on the ice and set up

fishfinder, camera and lure down the hole

in 72 ft of water I could see whitefish swimming around but they would not touch my lure

jigging it they would not even turn to look at it. It was like the lure wasn't even there

 

I tried to record the fish but my recorder for the camera just would not work today, turned out to be the battery

 

anyways I couldn't get them to bite so I moved out deeper

 

as soon as I put the fishfinder transducer in the hole I marked lots of fish

minutes later after 3 bumps I had one on

 

I just got a look at it and off it went

 

I dropped the lure back down, the lure just hit the bottom and I had another one on

this one was iced and was kept for dinner

I had no real plans on keeping more but the next fish as I got it to the hole I could see the lure in it's mouth

it bumped the ice and the second set of hooks went in it's eye

it was bleeding like a ....never mind. I kept it

 

I put on a bigger lure and hoped to get a trout. but that didn't happen.

I kept getting whitefish..oh well, I played them real slow and reached in the hole to release them.

lost some from reeling slow

 

went 5 for 8 only the last one I got was snagged, the sure fight when they are, the rest of them had the lure in it's mouth

 

was a good day and the wife is happy. she has fish to eat

life is good...LOL

Sucks about the parking fee and line-up. Glad you found alternate access and found the fish.

We were at BBP and managed one whitie in the morning lost 2 others and then the bite stopped. Did not even mark a fish except the odd laker (i think) that would rise from the bottom but would not commit.

Sorry we couldn't join you today Terry. Hopefully next weekend will work out. Looking forward to it.

 

Great report. I don't like crowds or line ups either, especially when you have to pay at the end of the line ;)
