steverowbotham Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 Well the gorilla is off my back! I finally got out on Simcoe for some greasers yesterday. I had to work until 8am, so I didnt arrive at the lake until about 845, on the water for 9. Ice was good and black, but only 2.75 - 3.75 inches in the locations I drilled. I assume she's made a bit more, but I still urge everyone to exercise caution out there! Be safe! I started off up pretty shallow, but action was very slow, landed one small laker in the 2-3 lbs range and made a move to deeper water. Once I set up out there, it was game on. I ended up hooking 12 fish and landing 8 in the 4 hours I stayed out. Ice was still thin and I wasnt ready to get the pop up out over the thin ice, so I braved the cold and by 1pm my hands were asking me to go home. Hot bait of the day was the usual suspect, a 4" X-Zone Swammer. Enjoy and BE SAFE!!!! Check out the video from the day
Joeytier Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 You know the ice is thick when it's getting measured in quarter inches...LOL Looks like you had another slay day. nice goin'

DRIFTER_016 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 And if you're going to go out on thin ice please take safety equipment. Jim Hudson a Lake Superior guide died today when he went through the ice while guiding.

Moosebunk Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 Simcoe laker and whitey reports are always a treat. Good fishing Steve.
