Anybody out on Simcoe yet?

[Lunker777]

I'm thinkin with the -8 weather for the next couple days , any ice that is there will have built up a bit more . If more people are fishing it today, I would think it's good to go this weekend

[Terry]

for sure, it's safe enough for me...but everyone has their own level of comfort

[BillM]

Really windy today boys, keep that in mind. Wind doesn't help ice production.

Don't forget, ice varies. It was New Years day 2008 or 2009 that Terry, Paul and I went out on Cook's Bay and I caught that huge carp. The ice was 4 to 5 inches in most spots, but one spot we were on it was only 2"

 

Use your heads and be safe!

 

 

Hmmmfff you girls and your "inches" .. can never make you happy!

anybody ever used those Ken's Hooks on Simcoe? wondering if it's worth buying some...

[Terry]

they look like other lures that work well, so I would suspect they will work but had never seen that make before

[Thrilla]

Ken's hooks = yes

[cityfisher]

I remember the day Sly found that spot. He came and grabbed Iceguy and myself from Iceguys hut. Said "lets go, we found the fish. Tommys out there now."

It was one of the best days ive ever had out there. The next weekend he pulled all his huts out there, and for the rest of the season, it was a zoo.

I still go out there from time to time, but the fishing has never been as good as that day. Heres the video from the day he found that spot. Lots of good days remembered with Sly. Miss ya Buddie!!

Im planning on going to Virginia Beach tomorrow. I've seen video reports of 5 inches although it varies in spots. I will be following the crowds and spudding my way out just to be safe. I will report my findings and Jumbos (hopefully) tomorrow.

I didnt manage to get out today as my fishing partner was sick. I will however be going out tomorrow for sure. I will post a report for all of you weekend warriors.

I'll be going out tomorrow too hoping that I'm not wasting my gas money. From what I heard there's six inches.......(insert that what she said joke here). Will post a report when I get back.

Not to stir the pot,but whos renting huts on thin ice? Is there not a clause about amount of ice,to have huts out? Insurance reasons.

 

Just asking

There's a good six inches stick to the trails. Careful out there tomorrow if anyone goes. Parking tickets for parking on the street just a heads up. Here's a few pics from the cell. king can was the measuring tape for the day anything smaller went back suprise pike on super light gear (4lb test) ate a two inch minnow on a 1\16 jig
