Simcoe Perch Ice Fishing - Operator question

[gordy28]

Hey there

I have searched through old threads and operator sites but not quite getting the answer I am after

I am hoping to book a mid week day to take the kids perch fishing

So  - ideally high action, heated hut but also the ability to fish a half day or at the very least pay for a full day but have the option of heading in earlier if required

From what I can tell most operators book full days  - but wondering if anyone has used an outfitter the would recommend who offers half days or will pick you up at an agreed upon time which falls out of their normal schedule (re go out at 9 AM and be in by 1:00 PM vs the standard 8 - 4 shift)

Thanks!

Tim Hales will do that. 

He always checks on the huts at noon, so if you want to leave, you should be able to no problem. He also has his huts set up for kids safety, with covers for the large holes. 

Best perch operator on the lake IMO.

I use Lucky sons on cooks bay every year

nice and warm huts for kids

take my little niece every year with me and shes 6 now

its non stop action all day and the odd keeper here and there

and you can even get  pizza delivered on the ice!

Almost all operate do a noon check.

Steve's on Homes Point rd for early perch and Tim's later.

I also recommend Tim Hales, well run, organized, well maintained equipment & huts.  Plus his office has a collection of spears & decoys from the old days and fish & game mounts.

Hey Gordy

Where are ya coming from?

Tim Hales out of Beaverton for the East side 

Terry Goy out of Gilford for the West side

 

Likely with a midweek trip you could dictate your hours

Cheers

Thanks all greatly appreciated 

Rick.  Coming from Mississauga but maybe picking up folks in Markham so sounds like both spots work

i have fished cooks before but never out of Pefferlaw.  

Cheers

Tim Hales without a doubt! Excellent service, nice huts, and he keeps them on the fish! I also like the safety covers he has for the kids (and unsteady old men )

I'll also chime in for Tim Hales.                                                                                                                                                   As for the safety covers; yea we used them the one time we were there. My daughter's X boyfriend, thought it was an ice drinking, not ice fishing excursion. Yup he walked right in and down to about his neck. If we weren't there to grab him; he would have been under the ice. What a dumb ass!!!

For perch earlier the better I go with Steve about the earliest main lake. Dave's setup in virgina  Beach a little earlier. Them I switch to Tim's in 30+ ft off

back of Thorald. 

I'm sure there is good operator's off the 400.

Ive only been twice, once with Tim hales and it was fantastic, second time with another operator and it sucked in comparison, Everything was better with Hales!!!
