Wymen Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 So I've been fishing the Lefroy / Gilford area and I can't seem to hit any jumbo (12"+) perch. Is it just me or do I just suck? :-) I can pull in buckets of 5-6" perch but I can't seem to get anything larger. I've fished 35FOW, 42FOW, 48FOW. I've used moonshines, rapalas ice jigs, swedish pimples ranging from 1/16th to 1/4oz. I fish off the bottom unless I mark a school in the mid column. Any suggestions? By the way, does anyone know if winter perch pods consist of a variety of sizes and sexes or do they form pods of approx the same size? B/c I'm finding that all of the perch I'm hitting are males - which would account for them being small. Wymen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeytier Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Many of my favourite simcoe perch spots are on or near 60 + FOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterfowlr Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Cooks bay jumbo's seem to be a thing of the past! Need to fish Snake Island or Tip of Georgina! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 How much more north? Innisfil Park? I have done well there for perch this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well, my room mate just got in with a nice bucket of perch, 10"+. Not quite a limit, but 3/4 of a bucket full. The west side of the lake is a nursery. I'd rather catch less numbers, more quality. My bud said he released about 10, out of 40 or so. All the rest were keepers. Way better than 100 dinks, and not enough keepers for dinner!!! East side has the jumbo's! S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammercarp Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 It's not where are they it's when were they. You need to go back 30 or 40 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Less than 20ft, between port bolster and beaverton. That's as detailed as I'm willing to get. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh you're fishing all the way over there. I thought you meant east side of Cook's Bay. So I guess Cook's Bay is full of dinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
