I have concerns though with regards to this item getting caught or snagged on debris on the bottom of the lake. If you have 1 or have info on how yours operates I would be interested in hearing from you.

The ice is just about off on cooks Bay. Will have the boats in the water soon. </p> http://www.simcoefishingadventures.com/forum/topic.php?id=17#post-32 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 10:46:32 +0000 janneman 32@http://www.simcoefishingadventures.com/forum/ <p>Some people still seem to ask questions about smoking fish.You don't have to get very fancy.Prepare the fish by filleting and washing in cold water. Leave the skin on, the flesh will stay together much better, especially with whitefish as they are very soft sometimes.Prepare a brine by mixing 1 litre of water with half a cup of salt, and half a cup of sugar. Use kosher or coarse salt without iodine.For sugar I use demarara sugar, but you can use any kind.If you need more brine use multiples of this recipe.Use a glass casserole dish or similar container. Not metal. Brine the fish for about 1 hour for pieces about half an inch thick.Keep the pieces the same size as much as possible. Increase time for thicker pieces. After brining rinse the filets in cold water and dry with paper towels and put on drying rack for as long as it takes to get tacky (abt one hour or more). It helps to have a small fan to blow over the fish. Put fish in smoker for at least 3 hrs at abt 170 degrees fahrenheit. This is hot smoking. This fish will stay good in the fridge for about 8 to 10 days. Usually it is long gone by then anyway.I don't do cold smoking because it takes a week at least. I use a Centro smoking cabinet I purchased at Crappy Tire on sale for $200. I have tried all the fancy stuff like onion powder and garlick etc. It's much nicer with just salt and sugar.Perch does not smoke very well ,because it is not fatty enough, but rainbow, salmon and whitefish are wonderful. I use it for all my parties and when friends come over.Keep it simple and you'll enjoy it better.

We did very well most days always landing at least a Pike each but never limited 5 fish is the most I did during 6 hours. My best set up is in 8-11 feet of water with a clear bottom with couple of weeds in the back ground. If you look into the hole you should be able to see straight down, as if in a aquarium. I always set up two poles one would be a tip up and a rod with a float. I run fire line on both I found out that when the bite is shy the fire line does not spoke the Pike as much as the mono does. I then attach a shiner I try using creek chub but if you can get a golden shiner they are very rare but worth their weight in gold. Hook the bait according to size I like 5-7 inches in bait the hook should be some where in the back between the dorsal and head make sure not to put the hook through the back bone. When the minnow is hooked it should teeter level and not leaning to a one side. Place the bait about 6 inches of the bottom and make sure you have a good size weight on the line so the minnow does not spook the Pike when it takes off, but brings the minnow back quickly to the Pike. Good luck!! </p> http://www.simcoefishingadventures.com/forum/topic.php?id=11#post-24 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 09:55:42 +0000 fishinggirl 24@http://www.simcoefishingadventures.com/forum/ <p>Greg, we were out the other weekend, and our best results came with simple dead sticking with a minnow. </p>
