The Ice was nice and thick,at least 6inch. Started making holes by 8am. Fished till 1pm. Started at 8fow..12 ,18,20,deep as 27fow. 100s of little perch to keep you busy but nothing choice by my standards. Best action was 12-18ft. Went fir drive around the lake( clockwise from gilford to Keswick) once I pulled the pin. Best stories came from port bolster/virgina beach but still nothing spectacular. I have pulled better perch from the ice out of hagersville quarrys then I did from yee ol simcoe today LOL! Had the medicine for them but no biggins to lay it on. A good stretch of the legs at least. Wet the lines! Best of luck to all's who give it a go.
