Big Cliff Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Well Saturday on Simco was a much slower day. As I had expected that cold front that moved in Friday made a big difference in just one day. We worked hard and tried a variety of baits and techniques but best we could do for the day was 6 keeper perch. It was still wonderful to get out there and I am really loving having someone else worry about maintaining the hut and all and me just being able to relax and fish 😊. Thursday we caught a burbot and decided to try it, OMG was it ever good! We went on Youtube to research cleaning and cooking them and got some great ideas. We decided to try a couple of variations for cooking it and our favourite was cut into chunks like scallops, tossed in fishcrisp, and pan fried in oil. Never again will burbot be released 😁 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I have never done well on a cold front for perch Cliff. So now that I'm retired and can pick whatever days I want to fish, I can avoid those days. A burbot meal is still on my bucket list. I caught one back in the late 70's when we used to rent huts for overnighters with Floyd Hales out of Beaverton. Didn't have a clue back then what it was and released it. Over 40 years of chasing perch on Simcoe and I never caught another one. It will be going in my belly if I do get another one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never again will burbot be released 😁 Caught burbot on Nipissing early January and did the same. Was great, now I'll keep burbot every time..😁😁😁 Edited February 7, 2021 by gino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
