Man I need to relearn Simcoe

[Cudz]

I got out on Somcoe today for 6 hours. I managed 3 smb and 1 perch and my buddy managed 2 perch total. I went to most of my spots and I also made the trek to Thorah!!!!

 

I did well on openning day but since then it has been a struggle getting quality fish (mid you this is only my thord time out looking for them this summer).

 

I know I have said this before, but something is different out there. Hardly any follow ups either.

 

On a related side note. This morning while fishing Thorah I watched thousands of comorants fly from Thorah to Geogina Island. It was a dense black cloud of comorants that actually stretched the distance between the two islands. I was shocked at the numbers. THey were in the thoudands. Maybe that where all the perch have gone.

May not be just Simcoe

You didn't see Pete bowman did you? 20-30' off drop offs,he was catching 6lb plus SM .Tons there .Maybe try a tad deeper.

It's not summer. It's fall you missed it.

[misfish]

If your not getting them Chis,theres a problem.

This is why you don't take a break from fishing

Hey Cudz,

 

Tough luck - it's a wacky weather year, that's for sure. March was HOT, April was cool, and it's been a hot summer since then - so I expect some usual patterns are a bit out of whack.

 

I only fished Simcoe once this year (July). Fished my usual spots, maybe a bit deeper, and did pretty well, hooking two 5+ hogs and numerous smaller fish, plus the standard jumbo perchies I always pick up when bass fishing.

 

That's the only tip I can offer (fish deeper).

 

Good luck out there.

I know someone that has property on Thorah and they were given a permit by the MNR to shoot as many cormorant as they can whenever they want. Could this be true?

dont know about the bass but the lakers are on.. im killing them. and great fun also

[Cudz]

deeper it is. I pulled one from 25 today. One form 14 and one from 8 so I hit up everything but not enough time spent in the 20+.

Thanks guys

I am unable to find any thing this year in my spots each time i've been out , maybe i need the bigger boat in the water ... lol , thought the next time out i'd try fishing every where on Simcoe i'v never fished before and see what that dose for me .

[Cudz]

Anyway, I will redeem myself in the fall. That is the best time for huge fish anyway.

Join the club. The bite is quirky on the lakes that I fish: really tough to establish a pattern.

Simcoe changes from week to week.

 

Last week I managed 1 bass and a dozen bullheads.

 

I think I'll leave the bassin' for you guys; this weekend I'll be perchin' .... Don’t buy up all the minnows!!!!

Not just simcoe

 

We are seeing strange patterns on the st.lawrence also...

[J.C.]

I am relatively new to fishing Smcoe. Not much luck in the shallower water so I am thinking you guys are right and I should try deeper.

[Billy Bob]

Fishing is NEVER the same as last year......and it's never as good, and never as bad as you hear it is or last year........this has held true for every lake I have fished in the last 40+ years.

don't tell me that, I have a trip up the the nations in a few weeks.

I couldn't catch anything when I went out on Simcoe, as well as every other place I fish. I have caught about 1/2 of the fish that I did last year, and that includes everything from small stream brookies to open water fishing on big lakes. I think it must be the weather, because I'm doing all the exact same things I did last year. I haven't even caught a pike over 30" this year!!!! Hopefully next year will be better, because I'm feeling like I suck this season.
