Freshtrax Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Hey guys i finaly got out on some safe ice in laker grounds on sunday.. I was on the ice for 8am. Was already a crowd out there i popped some holes in 120 fow marking fish all day long no big schools but lots of lookers. It was realy fustrating i just couldent get em to turn. Another fustrating thing was my laker tackle tray was left on the kitchen table at home. I fished all day with a small half and half willians(perch size) and a 1/8th oz buckshot spoon (not exactly my confidence lures). And wouldent ya know billm i snagged a laker lol. I was fighin this fish for 10 min finaly get it to the hole and it was hooked behind the gills i thought i had a twentypounder on it was quickly released .....other than that an un eventfull day. Was nice to be out ice was a solid 5inches where i was. I did see bunch of lakers caught on sunday and 1 whitefish. A slow day fishins better than a day at work.
Freshtrax Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Posted January 24, 2012 Ps dont go wandering around lake simcoe blindly you will go for a cold bath if you do. 95 percent of the laker grounds are not sfe right now.. And probably 100 percent unsafe by this weekend
MCTFisher9120 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks for the info, could you do a update on Friday maybe lol. Hope to get out there soon
asdve23rveavwa Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Good that you got out, Andrew. Was hoping to possibly hit Simcoe this weekend, but, definitely not looking good after yesterday. Doubt you are working on the Giesler now, but, still have some contact info, and pics, coming your way...Craig is "slightly challenged" on the computer, so, I'll see if I can get them and send them to you.
BillM Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) All those lookers were herring If the lakers see it, they usually smoke it (At least they have been for me this year) I'd be very careful out there with the weather we had yesterday and the forecast for the rest of the week.

12footspringbok Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 All those lookers were herring Really you must be psychic... Or maybe I am... I'm almost positive some of those fish turning their noses were lakers...
BillM Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Really you must be psychic... Or maybe I am... I'm almost positive some of those fish turning their noses were lakers... I haven't had many fish streaking almost vertically off bottom NOT hit, if they didn't a quick drop and rip would get them. Those other fish that come up casually, take a sniff then go back down are most likely whities or herring or really REALLY lazy lakers, lol
jeffw Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 thanks for the info freshtrax. I'm heading out tomorrow morning and will try to do a report while on the ice.
Harrison Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 I just got word from a friend who tried to get out today on ice that was safe a couple days ago on Simcoe. He turned around and went elsewhere. He called the ice "soft and not safe" anymore. Just sharing the heads up.
BillM Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Yeah, I wouldn't be out there today with the melt and rain that we had yesterday... We really need some cold temps to lock up all that water on the surface.
misfish Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Cold windy day today. That should help dry the ice and tighen it back up.For now.
