March 15th. closer

[misfish]

First off,what a super ice season we have been having on Simcoe. The best ice conditions I have seen in my adult years.

 

Traveling both on foot and machine was great. We started the the seaon for perch in December and hit the big waters in January 1st opener . 6 inches and today we finish it with close to 28+. Amazing.

 

While out off the 2nd yesterday,I could see a large crowd out at the 4th. This morning Terry and I headed there first light from BBP. We are greeted by about 40 anglers already. I suggest we stay out side the crowd. So we stop,I get off the sled and low and behold,Theres a hole still open from yesterday.Step back,and step in another hole. SWEET,Im fishing right here.LOL

Set up and it didnt take long and we were marking lots of fish. They were tight to the bottom.

 

I knew today was going to be my break out day,as the mrs,s had found my box of tricks that I have been looking for all season. All my raps and bad boyz and meegs.

 

I started with a green/black back bad boyz,tipped with a chartruse micro tube. Didnt take long and it was fish on. it was hooked good,right in the roof of it,s yap. To the hole and out she came.

 

At this point,the crowd was getting bigger and started to move in on us,so we decided to move a bit shallower. Fished that for a half hour or so,marking the odd fish. Look out at the deep waters again,we decided to head back out,but far away from the crowd.

 

Once again,marking fish like crazy but nothing committing until ,another one decide to play. On the same jig. It was a bit smaller then the first,but it was nice to get. The winds started to get a little nasty,snow and sleet mixed in. Stuck it out till around 1 and called it a day.

 

 

Fresh fish and fries for dinner tonight. Thats going to be sooooo good.

 

Looks like a trip to lake Joe next saturday,then it will be perch,pike,crappie and eyes til ice out and season close..

 

Then it,s time to get the pin out.

 

Leave you with some pics from the day.

 

 

I have used that auger set up all season long. it,s the cats meow.

No sir you do NOT need a haircut. If anything you need to grow MORE hair, both on top of your head, and on your chin.

 

And those are BEAUTY whities!!!!

Nice going Bri!!

 

We went to long shoal.. For soaked on the quad ride out. Froze our we butts of for a few hours. Few bumps.. Lots a few.

 

Then we moved and lots one, caught 2 in a half hour. Then they shut down... So we called it quits. Had a fish fry with family today. Perch for the rest of the season. Gunna max out my possession limit, then have a big family fish fry. Already got my limit of pickerel in the freezer.. So it should be a good one.

 

Great season so far in deed! And the warm spring ice pan fishing season is just begging!
