Master of Bait Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hi folks, I promised to take the nephew out for one last day of fishing on Friday (missing one day of school, but quality time, y'know?). I had planned on Pefferlaw perch due to the busy action, but the wind forecast looks ugly for my tin boat. Any recommendations on where we can connect with some fish from shore? I've heard of the Barrie docks, the beaver(?) river and a public dock on the west side of Cooks (near/south of Lefroy, I think). What are your thoughts on our chances of success in those locales at this time of year? Your input is much appreciated. Also, can GTA minnows be used in simcoe or do I buy them up there? I haven't used bait in a while. Many thanks in advance! MoB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-z-out Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Not much info on simcoe but from what i've been told no minnows pasted 7th line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I've heard of the Barrie docks, They chain lock the gates at the docks now. No fishing from them.The breakwall at Heritage Park is your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Like Brian said. Break wall. Follow the crowd. Best spot is right beside the "No Fishing" sign.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWhite Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Lefroy dock will hold panfish for sure. Use worms instead of minnows. I believe there is a bait shop on site. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master of Bait Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thanks guys. I'm holding off until the winds are a little calmer. Will try to get out in the boat next week. Cheers, MoB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
