Since when are there so many gobie in Simcoe? I was fishing Simcoe on Sat off the North East side Fox Island and we caught a gobie for every perch we got. We ended up taking home about 25 perch that were around 12" so I can't complain too much, but this was the first time I have caught gobie in Simco, have I just been lucky not to catch them?

~~~West side of Georgia a ton of them, set up in 25' and you catch a lot, but as soon as they start hitten the Catphish move in on them. The Kittys love them. Always keep the Gobies we catch and trash them on shore.

I could be wrong but I believe the gobie was introduced to rid the lakes of Zebra mussels .... ie. Lake Erie. They've been known to eat about 78 zm's a day.
Just wondering, Is there a zebra mussel problem in the area?

well i dont believe that was done here on simcoe Dokdok ...its invasive as far as i know but lord knows what sneeky tricks are done that we never are told about. We got lotsa zebras and now we got lotsa gobies and lord knows whats gonna be like in 10 yrs ...I didnt think that they were introduced to any lakes i always was under the impression that they came from afar in the bilge water of farin ships
