Port Bolster, Any left?

O ya! I forgot about the curse! We can't skunk on the perch grounds. That's impossible, anywhere you drill a hole on Simcoe there are peeeerch. LOL.

Come to my house after and we'll fry them up for dinner... Tasty little buggers..
I actually like the 9-10" ones best..

hey guys, i may be going up on sunday for the first time this year, any tips on where and what to fish? depths and lures and such? ive been hearing a lot about caseys, i think il get my bait from there.
thanks a lot guys.

Thanks for the offer Jerry, will have to play it by ear. As long as we have a good time on the ice and I get some time using my new flasher is all I want. A feed of perch would be a bonus

Hey Jake, welcome to the board. if you go to Casey's and get your minnows they also have a selection of perch jigs that work well. As for location just look for the pop up city on the ice. Almost forgot, check for ice conditions before heading up. I am sure there will be lots of reports closer to the weekend, maybe will see you out there.

I may join you guys on Saturday. I'll know better as the weekend gets closer.
Cheers!

jakemonk94, all I do to catch perch is drill 2 holes about 5 ft apart. Put a minnow about a foot of bottom in one hole and jig a small spoon in the other.

Sounds good Mark, keep us in the loop.

thanks a lot guys! does anyone know if caseys sells waxies?

just wondering if the ice maybe safe by the weekend at PB , what do you think about the ice at VB?being somewhat land locked at VB is there any reason the ice at PB is any safer?i asked about VB in another post and was told that the ice was nearly gone as of sunday..what are your opinions on this thnx

Hey aldo,


Looking for the same answer. I will make a few calls today too see how it is for this weekend. Overnight forecast is dipping down . I'm sure most of the rivers should be prime for this weekend !!!

ice at vb is still hear by weekend should be good to go had about 3 to 4 inches sunday so by friday if we get the cold we should be ready

Just spoke with a operator out that way he said 4-5" . His huts are still out there .


With colder temps. in the forecast should be okay for the weekend I would imagine .

Still deciding River fishing for Rainbows or Jumbos perch .... Just something about that float going down turns me on ... loll

So it seems the consensus is that the ice won't be ready till Saturday. Was hoping for Thursday. Guess I will just watch this thread and hope for some nice cold nights.

since i posted my questions this morn i've wondered,big time, if i could get out this weekend! well you fella's have given me the warm fuzzy feeling back! here at lake st clair i'm looking at your worst nightmare! hoping to get out....pray the weather forcast remains ....first ice baby!!!!!!

Hoping the cold sticks. Had a hut booked for last weekend at caseys but it was cancelled due to thebwarm front... hope alls ago for this weekend or like sniffer said. Ill be on the river bank chasin steelies. Fingers crossed for cold temps!!! I need a good ole perch fish fry lol

Good luck Aldo, I hope that the cold of the north blows south
