Late Hot Laker weekend

Didn’t have time to post last weekend Laker outing.
25 to 30 km winds, luckily temps around 4 degrees. Beautiful day.
Slow start for these natural laker wonders. After 3-4 hours buddy said he didn’t have confidence in my new spot. I kept drilling to find the structure I was looking for. Finally hooked on to a 3-4 pounder 300’ from buddy. He ran over, looked at fish then ran back to get his gear and snowmobile. We were on snowshoes the whole day as there was 14” to 16” of slush.
After an hour or so buddy hooked on to something big. I dropped my line to go spot him. This thing didn’t want to come up, buddy would reel a few feet then it would take off for a ways. After 6-7 minute I finally seen it’s face and grabbed it and threw it on the ice. 32” and 14 lb. Half the tail fin was missing.

On Sunday it was another great day, went alone to a lake a few miles from the camp. Got 3 small lakers and 4 perch within 2 hours. Another great day.

Might go back tomorrow.

Looks like a great outing! I can empathize on the slush, our poor quads are still thawing out.

The bite seemed to be on last weekend, buddy managed two smaller pike and a 28" laker through the same hole, 6 feet of water. I was 80 feet away and snagged a 21" Eye.

Best of luck if you get out this weekend.

Sure was, thanks. Had another great day today, will post later.

Another great day on the ice. Was suppose to go with my daughter, she backed out again. She regrets it again. Haha. It takes 3 hours from my house to my spot on the lake, so left early at 6. Caught a 20” around 10 am then a few bites but real slow till around 12:45 then it got really wild. Lots of bites at bottom and all the way right under the ice. Finally caught a 22” and 24” minutes later. These natural lake trout are dark coloured but the 24” was almost black. It was colder this am but warmed up to 1 degree by afternoon. Great day. Three hours to get back home just in time for supper. Can’t wait for next weekend.

Seeing those small little lakers makes me want a few when I head north in April.
Never kept one from simcoe as they are usually to big lol. Love the little northern ones though.

Good going keep up the good work [emoji106]

Thanks. Yes, the smaller ones are the perfect frying pan size. Mmmm Mmmmm

Well closing weekend for natural Lake Trout. A month sure goes by quickly. Left at 6 am this morning, -25 got to my spot by 9. Caught a 18” first thing then had another bite by 2 and pulled out a 21”. -5 this afternoon, beautiful day. Well, will have to wait a year to get back on this lake.

Brr nice going minus 25 that's nippy out . Your probably around the same line as my mom. Still cold there she is in larder and no warmth yet lol.
I'll be surprised if simcoe is good next weekend but who knows.

Great way to finish off the season, always a sad day when you have to wait till the following year for another day on the lake.

Keep up the great work hopefully you can go chase some walleye or something else while you will have ice for a while still.

A rewarding trip, looks great. You were tougher than I was this morning. Even the kid looked outside and flopped a pillow over her head as if to say "get real "

Yes cold ride to the lake. Need to invest in a better helmet. Those low windshield sure suck, not like the tall one on my old wide track.
Everything else is still open, even a few stocked Laker lakes.
Hoping to hit Brook and Bows for a few weekend, been neglecting the camp with all this Trout fishing, Might finish the season at the camp for walleye.

Haha. Thanks. They were calling for -5 with no wind in the afternoon so I knew it would turn out great. Long day, luckily I iced the only two bites I got. Darn Lakers, you catch just enough to want to keep you going for another.
