Does it get safe ice there

maybe others have already been and can give more info

Call the marina and see if that's a thing.    Lots of current in Hartley Bay.

I called and spoke to the gentleman.  I didn't ask what conditions are like in the winter. I did ask if I could use the launch to head out.  I've personally never been, even in the spring/summer but was hoping to get out there for the hard water. 

 I wouldn't think there was strong current in that area  judging by maps but thank you for the heads up. I'll keep an eye on safety 

Has anyone or does anyone know if we can drive through the Heartly Bay Marina during the winter. Use the boat launch and drive an ice hut out on to the bay for a weekend of ice fishing? Thank you in advance for the info.

It’s purported that Ramsey Lake right in Sudbury have Crappies. Otherwise, the French R and bodies south. We spend a week on the Key R every summer and get lots (boat access only) but imagine they can be had from shore off the highway.

Thank you. Any other small lakes off the highway I could cast from shore? I dont mind the drive if it's fishable and in and out of the boat gets hard week to week so a chair or standing is sometimes better for me and I don't mind a hike through a trail. Thanks again. 

Good morning yall. I've just recently moved to the Sudbury area from Florida and if I'm not saltwater fishing I'm out for crappie. And since we lack saltwater here... lol

 Now I've used this fish online app to help locate fishing areas but i haven't had any luck finding a lake with the listed crappie, mostly pike and walleye (is it out of date?)

 I've driven to a few lakes in the parry sound area but being disabled and getting skunked is discouging and rough on my body. Could anyone help me pin point a lake or group of lakes to try closer to the sudbury area for crappie? Either through PM or here? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
