steverowbotham Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hey everyone. I had some time off work starting on the 11th and I was praying we would have ice by then. I wouldnt want to spend a week off sitting at home or fishing perch. Timing worked out perfectly and I was able to get out on the bay for my first vacation day. I spent 4 days on the ice this week with Callum from Happy Go Fishing and got into some good fish each day. The size that these lakers are growing to out there is incredible. I really do expect to see some high 20's caught this season. I'd love to see someone break 30. Each day was different, so I landed fish on a variety of baits. Swimbaits, tubes, crankbaits and an Imperium Ace did the majority of the damage. There were some spoon and jigging rap fish in the mix as well. The first couple days, the fish were relating to the bottom, so the bottom 20 feet was most productive. The last couple days out, they were mostly mid column fish. Always experiment and don't rely on a single go to lure. That will help you ice more fish. Lots of smaller fish this week too, but here's some of our better ones. I don't keep em too often, but one day we kept a limit of our smaller fish for the smoker. Can't wait to munch em. Thanks for reading. Happy Fishing!

johnnyb Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Im 0 for 2 out there this season..... just don't know what I'm doing wrong. Ah well....figuring it out is half the fun. Now....you said crankbaits. Care to explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Just realized you likely meant lipless rattling cranks....duh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah im sure thats what he meant I did see somewhere that you can now get weighted clips to vertically fish crank baits through the ice. That would be pretty cool if it worked good. Maybe in an In Fisherman or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c10 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Yeah im sure thats what he meant I did see somewhere that you can now get weighted clips to vertically fish crank baits through the ice. That would be pretty cool if it worked good. Maybe in an In Fisherman or something? Not exactly what you were talking about, but just found these after readin a KVD article, I thought it was a pretty cool idea. He also talked about clip-on weights that attach to the split ring. http://www.basspro.com/STORM-Suspendots-and-SuspenStrips-Weights/product/202/ Edited January 21, 2015 by c10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Anyone have any idea what lake this is at all? Seems like a big one, so it cant be "too secret" for a second i thought parry sound but then quickly realized you cant keep any fish until february, and even then its only 1.

misfish Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Nice Bill. Not like we don't have enough towns and villages out there already. :tease: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Nice Bill. Not like we don't have enough towns and villages out there already. :tease: Let's rename the lake, maybe the guys from the city won't figure it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 lol im gonna walk out on simcoe blindly, with no clue what i am doing what so ever...im sure it will work out perfectly for me. I am just waiting for Bill to treck across parry sound harbour to give me the all clear Killer job though guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Simcoe isn't very hard to figure out especially if you're fishing Kemp. Find an access point, pop a few holes, look for some fish and there ya go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
