Hope everybody is having a great summer and keeping their lines tight! I've been chasing pike and bass in my backyard (cooks bay) with limited success. Lots of jumbo perch on the trawl and monster rock bass but only 1 pike and about 12 bass in 7 outings. Everytime I try to go deep its windy and I dont feel too comfortable with a 25 on simcoe but today the weather was good. Lines down at 6:30am and marking the odd whitey but no lakers. I've never caught a laker on the open water on simcoe and was determined today. I kept moving and moving and moving until I thought I found a school of whiteys but it was deep water percyh. My gas tank is getting empty but I made one last move. 10km later I finally start getting some decent marks but no takers. 2 years ago I met James (Xialou) at a boat launch and after a quick chat he gave me one of his jigs rigged up and ready to go so I figured I'd finally give it a try. Thank you James!! Got my first open water Simcoe laker! As soon as it was in the net the hook snapped in half. Lucky break again. Didn't have any more jigs with me except 1/4oz and they weren't cutting it. All in all very happy with today.
Nice laker buddy.
By the way, I haven't posted here for a while, but for the last 4 or 5 weekends and on my kayak off BBP, I have landed 2 or 3 lakers everytime...
