Well guys im laid off, and figured since i have some time off i plan to make the most of it. Looking to take a trip north for a few days of fishing just not sure where to go. I have been wanting to fish simcoe and gogebic for years. I have heard ice is still sketchy in spots at simcoe tho they are fishing in places, same with st clair. and gogebic is 12 hr drive. any suggestions. I am mostly a pan fisher, love to get into big gills crappie and perch. Thanks guys
