Whitties and Lakers 2021

So this will be my big fish thread I will continue to update this thread with picks of whitties , trout and my meals lol.


Feb 3rd.

Got out for a few hours this morning was pretty windy did alot of walking but that's ok. First spot was good in the first 30 minutes missed 1 lost 1at the hole and got 1 top side. It slowed down a bit so I decided to go off on a journey walked another 1.5 km to another spot it was slow there too . Marked a few got 1 more top side and left by 11:30 for the long 3 km walk back lol.

In total around 6.5 km walk . Fished about 3 HR and walked the rest of the time .

Let the first fish go first thing in the morning kept the second one a nice skinny one for dinner .

It's getting there more ice than in parts of cooks bay that froze earlier. I was getting mixed holes today about 7 to 12 inches alot of pac ice perm huts are going out of JP and possibly willow. But only about 4 inches in parts of cooks. Yikes.

Last week we spudded another area was 2.5 and 5 inches for 2km then it was over a ft in the pac ice where we fished in places lol.

That snow definitely keeps it insulated and keeping it from freezing.

February 4th

Got out to another spot today I always move around next week I will head to a different area. Will be 4 trips out to 4 different locations.

Anyway went 5 for 7 today and missed a few more quick strikes or a slow reactions lol.

Think I marked a few trout I believe didn't get,any 4 of us out today was a tough day I think we only landed 12 fish by 130 ,2 of us left lol. The fishing completely died down after 11:30 went long times between marks.

The one fish had a little extra tail piece for more horsepower lol. Was a great day weather wise felt like a March day with a little less action . Until next week https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d76ba82e53.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4093bb9b79.jpg

I hope those fish dinners give you diarrhea and a gut ache! It ain't fair! I want to be pigging those whitefish! What was your hot lure and what depth were you finding them at?

Nice, yes that looks good for sure.:thumbup:

February 10th

Got out this morning at another location yes we like to move around lol. So far this season 4 trips 4 locations and 25 whitties iced.

Started off slower today we only had a couple of fish iced in the first couple of hours. After some shifting around I ended the morning going 5 / 7 lifted the one and lost the other right at the hole .

First fish I kept next fish I was going to let go but I f'd up and had it out of the water too long . Well it wasn't that long under 30 second but I noticed a little ice forming over her eye. . So I said heck with the pics either got my phone out and ready before I landed them or took a tail pic lol.

What a fat fish tho little piggy she was stuffed full . She had 9 gobies in her and few 4 plus inches. The biggest was 4.5 inches long . After it was all cleaned up I gave the in-laws their first feed . Gave my buddies grandparents one from the last trip they get a cleaned up fish every year.

A few pics the first pic you can see the ice starting to form. Then I needed some lunch was just going to do some fries then I decided to clean up half a fish while the fries cooked.

Heading out to some big waters next week haven't been out there in many years. Again another location lol.

Hope everyone is having a great season.
Stay safe . https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5c4884d7a6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3b23970a4c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a098f3a633.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...642b69d26e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e3da109d0b.jpg

If your on smaller lakes up north the pressure isn't that bad you still probably have the entire area alone.

I showed up to the parking lot yesterday morning at 7 and there was probably 50 people in the lot already .

The fish are everywhere so no point in hammering one area on Simcoe anyway .

Oh I try many lol put sriracha sauce in it last time lol.

That one just flour, salt, pepper, baking soda and baking powder and water. Not sure of the exact amount as I just toss it in . I try to stay with the same thickness of batter not to thick not to runny

You can use beer I haven't this year but I would try and find the lightest colour you can find I usually go with the MGD it's a light blond . If you know of a lighter one giver and let me know lol.

Thats a crazy belly full, looks like the bottom of the food chain is nothing but gobies there.

When I was out last week the two Lakers I caught were stuffed full too, one was packing a 10 inch whitefish and the other had two spinal columns about 14 inches long that I would have guessed to be burbot.

Yes for sure, not the same, most times I’m alone on the
lake. Over the years you sort of figure out the best spots to fish smaller lakes.
