FishFinder17 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Looking for help picking a good boat launch on simcoe near snake island for saturday. I know it will likely cost me $20-$30 and I'm okay with that, just looking for a decent ramp with trailer parking. Was thinking east point but ramp looks a little sketchy on street view. Can't seem to find a good/recent answer in other posts and forums. Also, this will be my first time fishing opener on simcoe...how early should I get to the launch to avoid the big crowds? Thanks in advance and good luck to those heading out Saturday. FF17 Edited May 11, 2017 by FishFinder17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldphart Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 ~~~In that area, there is almost nothing, only large enough area is where water taxi runs out of, but his lot is just for his passengers to the island. I would consider Harry's in Keswick, he can be a little grumpy, sometime, get there early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Sibbalds Park has the best Launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Sibbald's has the best launch in the area, you won't have to worry about line ups as there is probably enough room to launch 6 boats or more at one time. Don't forget to take a long anchor rope. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to take a long anchor rope. good luck Thanks for the tip. I looked into sibbalds and I would prefer to stay a bit more west as we are probably having lunch at a buddy's cottage on Fox island and doing most of our fishing in cooks and surrounding area. Looks like east point might work. Had someone recommend it on another forum so I called today and I can launch as early as I want and pay when I leave. Apparently it's a decent ramp too but I'm basing all of this on what others have told me... either way I'll find out saturday morning. If for any reason I should avoid east point, please let me know Thanks again for the help. Really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishFinder17 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) If you're jigging for whities, you'll want a double anchor setup. Good to know, thanks. I'm new to fishing whities and I do have two anchors so I'll make sure I bring both. Will need to go and get some rope for one of them. Do whities typically hit on the plastics or the same kind of spoons as lakers (stingrays, cleos, blue fox)? or should I make a trip to the tackle aisle ....not that I mind doing that Edited May 11, 2017 by FishFinder17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'd be running gobie presentations if I was out on Simcoe going after lakers or whities. Those little swammers would awesome (Although I don't know if they still make them)... Icefishing jigs/spoons will work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
