bigugli Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Had been out on Cooks Bay on Sunday with a friend. What a hoot. With the exception of some idiot busting the ice with his wheels, we had a stellar day. It was a non stop bite from sunup to sundown. Lots of dinks with a 1 to 5 ratio for keepers. Man the keepers are getting fat. Too much action for 2 lines, besides the dead stick produced nothing. Rattle jigs were the dinner bell. Tipped with an Arkansas minnow it was deadly. Come late afternoon, the perch started to get finicky so I started alternating to different presentations of teardrops with Berkely maggots or salties, then back to a buckshot. Had one bruiser of a pike cruise past the mouth of my hole, not interested in my wee offerings. There were some herring as well. One came up the hole to visit, and was sent back. I only took one pic while on the ice, after that the camera kinda got buried in the gear. No problem bringing home a few quality meals. For those complaining about the lack of dinner plate shots lately, I present the breakfast of champions Home fries, a mess of perch, and a corn fritter. All washed down with a steaming hot mug of coffee and brandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 you guys are hardcore. 2 or 3 hours of non stop perch is about all I can handle Hardcore is handjigging 6-700 smelt, then cleaning em. We just never learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 do you hold your breath when you drive through hamilton too? I know full well enough about living in any city, let alone 2 blocks away from the steel mill. I try not to visit Hamilton too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hardcore is handjigging 6-700 smelt, then cleaning em. We just never learn I could spend a day doing that. When Simcoe had the big rainbow smelts,it was well worth it. The kids would have a blast when a swarm would come in and we would just drop some tied on yarn and a split shot.I can still hear the laughter from them hauling up ounce size bait.LOL Good times.
