Hi all. I've been dragging the kids to Owen sound for some less than stellar salmon trolling and now need to get them back into some fish on hook action. I'm hoping the fine folks on here could advise if cooks or Kemp would be a better option for perch tomorrow. Winds look north so I'm wondering where to go with a 16 footer and 2 5 year old girls. Not looking for secret spots just maybe smoother water and sink perch to keep the little ones happy. Thanks all.

I am doing the same tomorrow so I'm going to the north shores of Kemp looking for perch and hopefully out of the wing.
I'll be in an 19 foot lund

hi rhyback, I'm in a 16 ft Sylvan, maybe i'll see you out there. launch at the barrie marina? I'm new to soft water on simcoe. just want to get the kids excited about fishing again.

[RHYBAK]

Sorry
I'm using another launch and don't want to say it here

[matt101]

I understand. Thanks rhybak. It's just as close for me to go to Leroy area. Which sounds like Barrie may be busy. Can anyone advise if cooks is ok with the winds tomorrow and if there are perch around? I guess Monte Reno would be the spot to launch.

Again thanks for the help

You will heavy fairly strong north winds tmw. Use this to see wind forecast and times and where to fish. Use the free trial and pull up Lake Simcoe.https://forecast.predictwind.com/atlas/#Wind

Hi speo. It seems I can't use messenger. Maybe cause I'm new to the site. I'm a lurker that intends to be a participating member. This seems like a good board that stays away from too much drama. Cuman101 at hotmail.com is my email if you feel like sharing.

I'd probably stick to fishing the north side of K-bay if you're in a smaller boat. if the winds shift a little come straight down into Cook's Bay it can get dicey in a hurry. Guys are catching a lot in K-Bay as I have been hearing.

Hi if you are concerned about wind on Saturday then Sunday looks like a better day. I use the wind finder app:

It's free and usually right.

[matt101]

Thanks for the responses. I'm bagged for Sunday. If I get out tomorrow I'll post a report.

So a buddy and I packed the kids and went out of Barrie marina. Turned out to be a nice afternoon on the water was nice and calm in kbay. Never did find the mother school. Couldn't believe the bait absolutely everywhere. Caught around 50 perch with a few keepers. Couple rock bass in the mix.
