Main event on Ol' lake Joe! New species unlocked finally! After paying through the nose for parking at Simcoe and getting skunked, and whiffing my shot on Canada Day, I have finally caught a dream species, albeit small specimens. With these guys being so small, it was no wonder the big swimbaits I had only had their tails nibbled last time. Ned rig came in clutch again! Next stop, Simcoe laker large enough to weigh.
