I set tip-ups up this morning at Cooks Bay in about 8 feet of water and had flags going up all day! I eventually ran out of minnows, but managed to nail one on one of those Lindy Darters. Ended up taking two home for a snack

Thanks. I use 4 inchers for Lake Simcoe. To be exact it's the ones from angling specialties in concord.


@Captain Barty

I have trouble choosing between deepwater whitefish or pike, but the lack of ice this year made it an easy choice lol

Nice, I think the sleeper huts we will be set up in on the 9th will be in around 10fow so hopefully we can get into some incidental pike. Ill have to bust out the tip up for the first time.

Out of Gilford they are reporting 7-9" of hard ice and no snow on top to make sure to wear a pair of ice cleats. Jacksons point is reporting that the wind has played havoc with the ice and is has broken the ice up in to 20' chunks. Not sure if that is fact but read about it on another board. I'm hoping to get out this to, but as far where.... Mother nature will keep me posted I suppose...


Good luck if u head out.
