Simcoe report

[J.E.P.]

3\7 3\8Fished by snake Island then over by fox then by big cedar an 2 guys only caught 32 fish on saturday from 10;30am till 6pm sunday was a better day Same area,s an we ended the day at 5pm an we both had are limit. Most fish were caught in 20f.o.w. an were 8 to 9 inch very few over 10 in. an only 3 over 11. Ice was still a solid 2 ft. travel on ice must be carfull cause of all the shanty holes left unmarked. Shanty,s must be removed by the 15th (I belive)cause several were getting removed this week end. Still lots of cars an trucks driving on ice.

I was there at the same time with another forum member. We too fished off Snake; actually fished there the entire weekend. We caught lots of fish, just nothing real good. We got nothing over 11.5" with the biggest fish going in the bucket at around 11"s. We stayed on fish for most of the time only having one lengthy period of few fish on Saturday evening. Other than that we hit them good on Friday, Saturday morning and afternoon, and Sunday morning.

Most fish were 8-9.5" and they were thrown back in while hoping for better fish. Those better fish were few and far between. With that said, I had a real good time. I know I caught over 400 fish and the majority were keepers back home. The company was good and weather ok.

I caught 90% of my fish on a 2" tall solid silver spoon with a red bead (McGaffy type) in 16-22 fow on the N side of Snake. Also caught a few on a Jigging Rap and Tear drop hung below a Hali. To be honest it didn't matter what I put down, they hit em all. The main thing was I kept moving and didn't sit while fishing got slow.

Good luck and I sure wish I was going back.
