Simcoe Perch Report -Thanks to Nick!

Recommended Posts

I know I mentioned how much you guys in here ROCK from all the help I received as a newbie! Well to top it off, Nick (N.A.W.) was incredibly kind and messaged me offering to take myself and hubby out on Simcoe for some perch fishing. We took him up on his offer and went out last night.

 

Nick was absolutely awesome at giving us great advice and he even rigged up a few lines for us. It was a huge pleasure meeting him and having the opportunity to maybe finally catch a fish after fishing Pigeon Lake and not even a bite.

 

We went out from Tiffen launch and tried a few shallower places. Nick caught a Gobey (and killed it) and Rob caught a Sunfish! Haha! But that was still better then me...zilch! We went further out then between 40 and 50' (I think) as mentioned by some one else here. And finally...my first fish! The perch were there and between us we caught about 50. About 13 or so were keepers.

 

Just as we were about to head back in...I caught this guy!!! :clapping:

:thumbsup_anim: And finally got to be on the other end of the camera for some Fish Porn! Hehehehe!

 

Here was our dinner last night! (But by the time us amateurs finished cleaning them...we ate around 9:45 PM! Haha!)

Here is Rob trying so hard to filet exactly how Nick showed us on the boat. (It turns out our so-called awesome Berkley knife is CRAP! - But he did a great job in spite of it!)

And we saved the big guy for last (just hoping not to mess him up! Haha!)

Again...a HUGE thank you to Nick! :worthy: We are extremely grateful and it's always a pleasure to meet great people! And you weren't kidding...Simcoe Candy! :D

It was a pleasure fishing with you two!

 

A slow day as far as Simcoe perch goes. They havn't moved into the usual spots yet. Another few weeks, and it will start to pick up.

 

 

Thanks for letting me keep some of the fish YOU caught..! I think you lifted more fish then Rob and I combined :clapping: Made a nice little snack for when I got home.

Thanks Urban!

 

ccmt - We were having troubles remembering exactly how Nick showed us to filet so we hit YouTube as well. I found a video showing the same method so we could remember. But we also found this one (it was beyond our skills though!)...

 

 

Nick is being too generous - he caught some of those! Haha!

 

And too funny...love the Bud in the pic! Great looking snack! We called ours dinner! :lol:

Thanks Devil, phart and Dana (LMAO @ your profile pic!)! It sounds like a lot of people network here. We're hoping to be able to afford a little used outfit (alum boat, motor and trailer) within the next couple of years and then we can return the favour!!

 

Glad the fishing was good for you phart! :thumbsup_anim:

Ya, we where pretty happy to see that hog surface. Considering all the dinks we where catching previously.

 

It started to peal drag, I thought we had hooked into a smallie. To bad we didn't catch more like that :dunno:

 

I must say, for two fishing rookies, they both got the hang of it very fast. Miracon just dove right in, baiting the hook, and taking fish off the the hook too. Like she's been doing it for years. I don't normally get to fish when I have rookies in the boat, but I sure did this time.

When the big guy bit I almost thought it was a giant weed cause that is what I'm used to catching! But I could tell right away it was something pretty big! It was an awesome feeling reeling it in and not knowing what was on the end!!

 

And Thanks Nick! I did get the baiting the hook experience from going to the Kawarthas on the long weekend when I spent all my time feeding the fish!!!! They just kept eating the worms off my hook....laughing at me the whole time! But taking the fish off was new!

 

Nick didn't mention I was useless if the fish swallowed it though! :lol:
