[Sat Jan 22] Simcoe laker

A close to 3 lb small laker. Good eating size?:-)

My very first Simcoe laker this ice season.

Nice James usually the lakers are alot bigger haven't seen one that size long time should be great eating many people got skunked today I didn't go

Thanks Frank. Yes, it is quite rare to get a small laker like this on Simcoe. I think of all these years I have been fishing for Simcoe laker on kayak or on ice, this is the 3rd laker this small I landed

nicely done James! How was the ice?

Thanks. Good-quality ice at where I was fishing at 102 fow, is around 8 inch

Natural?

Yes it is natural.

Nice work James. Love to see your reports come in again!

Congratulations! BBP? Are u in the Eskimo 2i?

Thanks
Nice catching!

Great video showing how you got the laker to chase and then the hit as you sped up. It's what I use to do as well for lakers but haven't targeted them in a long time. Nice to see the smaller naturals (a good sign of things to come, I hope) - maybe worth targeting lakers again if there are more smaller eaters out there.

Wait, there's a video? He must have added that because I didn't see it last time.

Just watched it.. great video James! Keep them coming

Thanks, and by the way I didn't edit/add anything to the original post, so you must have missed it first:-)

I'm old, James. I miss half the fish too. Many times I have I looked away for a second and looked back and the fishfinder and saw went for my line lol.
