Hey guys!!!


I was swimming in Simcoe this evening and was walking out far, and further and further.. .. the water reminds me of Lake Huron.

anyways getting to my question.

does anybody know of where i can find a depth chart for Simcoe>????

i'm going to meeting my brother in Wasaga Beach in early July and we plan on renting a boat on Simcoe. so just looking for a depthchart.



thanks!

Wasaga = Hot drunk chicks!!!!

I'd be trolling for ladies and not fish there!!!

Where are you launching from? Barrie baitstores will have plenty depth charts, same with Orillia.

From what I remember, Kempenfelt bay is the deepest part of the lake, drops to 300-400 feet. And when fishing keep and eye out for Kempenfelt Kelly!!

Here's 4 quadrants of a Simcoe Map...depths in FEET.
Max depth of Lake Simcoe is 136ft

whoops where the hell did i get 300-400 feet!? Well, anyways, kempenfelt is the deepest part of the lake.

thanks all. i'm not sure what i'm fishing for...... still up in the air. my brother loves bass, and i'm pretty much game for anything.

again thanks for the helps.

Canmoore - Easily done - some maps are in Metres, some in feet, some don't indicate the depth units. 136M = 446ft

I used to fish Simcoe with my dad, back in the 70's. I have fond memories of following the Christmas Tree lined ice roads, drilling holes, freezing our behinds while Dad enjoyed some snakebite to take the edge off the cold...

One particular day, I was around 8yo, I caught the "BIGGEST FISH EVER". What was even more exciting, it was a double header... my brother and I each had a lunker on our lines. After a good 5 minutes of fighting, I looking over at my brother, and noticed that whenever I would gain on my fish, he was losing line to his.

Eventually Dad straightened us out, made one of us give up, the other pulled both lures up and untangled the mess....

I have seen some monster smallies come out of Simcoe. I have seen a lot of guys drop shotting for them. We have different tourneys here all season and a lot of the guys take off for Simcoe after blast off in the morning. Some of the bass they pull in are massive.

I used to live just outside Barrie, I have lots of great memories with Simcoe. Every spring my uncle and I would go to the mouths of a creek, with huge nets and catch hundreds of rainbow smelt. Than we would take them home and fry them up!!

I have also caught lots of huge smallmouth, and simcoe's world famous Jumbo Perch!!

When i first learned to scuba dive, we dove alot in Kempenfelt bay, and big bay point. Let me tell you..there are ALOT of crayfish in simcoe..and big ones to! So use crayfish imitating lures for smallies.

thanks for the tip Canmoore. yeah we will bring an arsonal of different colored tubes.

how's the laker fishing in july???.....might try to jig one up......


anyways thanks for all the responses guys!
