Got out on Lake Simcoe again yesterday. Not as good a day as last month but still a lot of fun. Only one perch in the keepable range. I guess I had the wrong flavor Triscuits this time out.🤔😁 Time to get to Bass Pro and start gearing up for the spring.

Catch & Cook. Had a great time ice fishing for Perch with Beika Zhan. The day started off with a thick fog but as soon as we hit the ice, the bite was on! Ended the day with some fresh fish to eat. What more could you want?
