Hey guys I'm back,
Haven't posted much since the winter but I finally figured out Simcoe in the winter and landed my personal best Lakers. I hung up my laker gear for the summer season until I did some research on different techniques. Because I did not have a suitable boat for simcoe or the proper gear I figured I could not target lakers. I waited till yesterday when the weather was nice and went out my first time on simcoe. It was still a little sketch in my 11foot zodiac. At least it has a fibreglass hull. My first time out I fished for 2.5 hours and just as the night ended I land my personal best. I am super thrilled that I can now fish almost all year round for Lake trout.

This girl was just over 36" and all of 13 lbs.

Well done!

Did I read correctly that you fished at night? Or went out very early in the morning before dawn?

Using jigs or trolling?

I went out right after work from about 6 to 8:30, hooked at about 8:15 and sun set around 8:45.

I was jigging, same technique I use in winter

Oh no doubt, but you use what you have to work with. One day I will upgrade. I have a cottage on Huron and I fish Huron all the time. Just gotta pick my days when I can hit up the big lake. Many days confined in the river but still manage to land some nice fish there too.
