Cudz Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master of Bait Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 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. MoB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that where all the perch have gone. 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cudz Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Anyway, I will redeem myself in the fall. That is the best time for huge fish anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 May not be just Simcoe Join the club. The bite is quirky on the lakes that I fish: really tough to establish a pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krixxer Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 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!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Not just simcoe We are seeing strange patterns on the st.lawrence also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 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.

krixxer Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Not just simcoe We are seeing strange patterns on the st.lawrence also... don't tell me that, I have a trip up the the nations in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernpike56 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
