This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Simcoe Update: Lakers/Whities and Ling! pics

Post by Slayingm »

The weather has been pretty wild the past number of days. Lots of wind and snow squalls have made for zero visability at times (Thank goodness for GPS!) Lots of snow with drifts and slushy spots on the lake right now in the area's I'm working from the N. side of Georgina Island and West over to Fox Island.


Have found that the bite on hardware has been slower then usual with minnows on light line getting more action. Currently getting Trout and Whitefish working different area's from 53' (on rock) to over 87' on a soft bottom. Here is a pic of a nice chunky Laker that nailed a #9 Jigging rap with 1/2 a minnow worked slowly bouncing off the bottom in 77ft.

This Ling Cod (Burbot) was a huge surprize while working for Whitefish.... it hammered a Silver/Blk jigging Rap.... if you can get past the looks these fish are absolutely delicious!

This nice Whitefish also hit a Rap in the same area as the Ling....

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this or not but so far this season I'm having more success fishing Raps and Meegs then my favourite Williams.


Got out and enjoy... the season closes exactly 1 month from today!


Good Fish'n and be safe.... Greg.

Good to see you're having some luck and with a few different species. For one I think that ling looks great, look at the gorgeous coloration, they aren't the most glamorous but they aren't without their own charm :P

Best fishes

What a cool looking ling! I think it's chain-like pattern and colors are wild.
