In spring, he targets rock shorelines and backwaters. "There are lots of 13- to 14-inchers, and you have a shot at even bigger fish." Guide James Vladyka, of Benson, Vermont, rates Lake Champlain as one of the region's powerhouses. "The top 10 teams all had great weights, and a buddy of mine iced one over 2 pounds." "The winners had over 10 pounds for their heaviest 10 fish," he says. As a measure of Simcoe's bounty, Wegman cites a derby last winter. During the summer, schools roam depths of 30 feet or more and remain catchable. But the spring bite yields some of the year's portliest perch, particularly in the shallow bays near Beaverton. Like many lakes, Simcoe sees most pressure during the hardwater season. "On a late-ice trip last winter, friends and I released many perch over 12 inches that coughed up round gobies."
Wegman notes that fish are also on the jumbo's menu. Freshwater shrimp and other bite-sized invertebrates fuel the fishery. "Every year, it produces perch close to the Ontario record of 2.45 pounds, which was taken on Lake St. "The adage that big lakes produce big perch applies to Simcoe," he says. "It's a quality perch fishery that also produces quantity," says biologist and noted perch stalker Wil Wegman. 8 ft 6/0 Lemon Crank does work too but once again, you won't catch as many.One of the planet's premier perch producers is southern Ontario's Lake Simcoe. And when you find the sweet spot to cast to, you can get 2 a minute. Yes they cost extra for every fish you catch but I did a Pike only day and hit $29,000 cash so it more than pays for itself. 7/0 Hook with shiners is what most people use. Now that was only 8 catches in 3 hours of peak time, if you concider how many pike you catch in the same time floating with shiners then it shows how ineffective the lures really are here for pike. The only thing that have some moderate success for me is the big #6/0 spinner. Popper 4/0 : 2 catches ( lots of miss hits ) I did some more testing during another peak time: ( Almost exactly the same as EzFishLure's setup, just a different reel ) The problem is they don't bite on lures.
The problem is not the gear, I have strong gear. If going for pike you dont need to cast far so this is an ok setup :D especialy combined with a kyak :D Publicado originalmente por darrren:i use cosmocast and a cyclone55 is to strong for any of the rods atm i use it with 0.6 floro and can use drag 5 safly hope this helps
