steverowbotham Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
