simcoe downrig for lakers and cast for pike

[glen]

I have never fished the south end of simcoe. Do people downrig for lakers in the spring or is it a waste of time?

 

How about casting for pike or is it no good? any tips on where to try for pike?

 

 

 

thanks for any help.

Cooks bay has a lot of pike. When i lived close to Lake Simcoe i would do really well fishing right after the season opened in early may. Try suspending jerk baits like the husky jerk or spinner baits close to the reeds, near the mouth of the holland river. The pike will be shallow.

i dont fish simcoe

but i know you dont need downriggers in the spring for lakers

they are usually close to shore shallow ive always caught them casting williams wobblers

ive caught lakers in 4 feet of water in may

Good advice. With the warm temps that are coming, they will be right on the bite.
