ecmilley Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 think i might just trade the sled in for a jet ski and a good wet suit
Entropy Posted December 22, 2006 Author Report Posted December 22, 2006 Ya, it might be a good idea. I was starting to plan on saving some money for next fall to buy a good sled, but ..... it might not be worth it.
Fang Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 I think I might launch the boat at Port Perry on the 1st and drift in front of Goreskis.
Entropy Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Posted December 27, 2006 Dec 27 Still no ice !! 5 Days left Entropy
Entropy Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Posted January 11, 2007 Jan 10 --> evening (9:00 pm) Check was on windy shoreline. Some Ice at the shore (pilled up), but take two steps out and you break through. Some slush beyond that. I'm sure there is some ice in non-windy areas of the lake, but not enough to venture out on. Scugog Fire and Rescue issued a public warning this week to stay off the ice. Loading the boat up, or not, or ... I don't know what to do.?? Entropy
fishnsled Posted January 11, 2007 Report Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks for the heads up. I heard on the radio this morning the warnings go out. DO NOT GO ON THE ICE AS IT IS NOT SAFE!!! Another week of the cold temps and there might be a few areas to get out on. Be safe everyone!
mattyk Posted January 11, 2007 Report Posted January 11, 2007 I agree with bill and jedi. I think they should close the ice fishing on the Bog.
Entropy Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Posted January 11, 2007 I agree with bill and jedi. I think they should close the ice fishing on the Bog. Close Simcoe too. Much presure and still open.
Entropy Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Posted January 12, 2007 Jan 11 --> evening = lake is mostly skimmed over. Still not safe. Fixed the 3 holes in the old alum last night, .... what now? Entropy
Entropy Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Posted January 15, 2007 Jan 14 --> mid-day Lake covered with ice, went out 10 feet, way too thin, was cracking under me. Not safe yet, might be by the weekend... Keep your fingers (and toes) crossed. Entropy
urbanangler1990 Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 oh thats great news, do ya think with temps in double digits overnight and still cold in afternoon that well get ice by weekend?
camillj Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 Honestly folks, with the open water we had last week I would say give it at least another week or two ... just because it doesnt give out on your first hundred yards doesnt mean that its safe ... I really dont want to read about any disasters .. especially not for our OFC gang. The good news is the ice is forming fast ... its not a write off yet
Entropy Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Posted January 15, 2007 Might be ok for the weekend, but should be good to go for next. Weather: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/c...es/CAON0562.htm or http://forums.fishontario.com/thread.jspa?...21&tstart=0 Entropy
Entropy Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Posted January 16, 2007 Jan 15 eve Checked the ice last night walked out 5 feet and the ice was really cracking under me. It only took one hit with the driveway scraper to punch through. Not good. Hopefully these cold nights will help it a bit, although the 2 inches of snow on top will hinder the progress. Entropy
Terry Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 thanks for the info snowshoes and a floater suit...I'm ready to go
Entropy Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Posted January 17, 2007 Jan 16 -10 pm Stepped out onto the ice, heard some cracking, chopped a hole and noticed that there was a 1" layer of white ice (likely the snow which has melted and froze), and then 2" of clear ice under that. So, a total of 3" of ice, but like I said that top 1" did nothing but sluff off when tapped. As of last night it was a no go for walking out (for me). Hoping for this weekend, but I will not be going out into deep water. Entropy
Terry Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 thanks for the reports but """Hoping for this weekend, but I will not be going out into deep water.""""" ..............deep water on the bog....lol.......... sorry I found that funny, but I guess anything over your head is deep if you fall through the ice
ecmilley Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 so cold this week hopefully safe by the weekend
steverowbotham Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I hope its safe soon. I go to college in Lindsay and the bog, which is usually buzzbait territory for me, will be my arctic lair.
Entropy Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 Jan 18 eve --> 2" of clear ice, 1" of junk ontop of that. Made it home last night with 1.5 hrs of daylight left. Popped a few holes in, didn’t get anything, but then again I was only in 2.3 to 3 ft of water with no weeds or structure around. After you scrape the snowy slush off the top there was only 2" of clear ice, didn’t really want to venture out to “the spot” yet. Saw a guy touring the shoreline on a new Skidoo. Let’s hope for some thickness for this weekend. F.N. & SHR I might not be able to make it out Sunday morning, I have a house warming to go to at my “Best Man’s” house Saturday evening, might not even see Sunday morn. Lol, I saw another guy out near where I was, had a floater suit on, great idea, he was out always. I’ll have to invest in one for next year. He didn’t appear to be catching much, maybe a few perch if anything. Had my FRS radio on CH 19 nobody out there from here. As for Sunday Morning, I might (“might”) be up and at it. Where are you guys thinking of meeting up? View Lake ?? If I’m alive I’ll head over, have a radio on so I can find you guys. Awww, this house warming thing is becoming a bit of a thorn, might have to call it an early night, heck it will cost me the evening bite and morning bite, that’s a lot of fishing time to lose. I’ll be out Friday evening, within 300 feet of shore, and a buddy of mine is coming down for Saturday morning. I’ll have my FRS on ... Entropy
Entropy Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Posted January 19, 2007 Jan 18 - 9:00pm Walked out onto the lake could hear some breaking as I stepped out off of shore. Walked out 100' drilled 3 holes along the way, there was anywhere between 4" to 5", however 25% of that was white ice. I will be out (after first confirming the ice is safe of course), Friday evening, Saturday and some of Sunday. Play it safe, check often, be able to float, have picks, a rope, and a partner. Entropy
Entropy Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Posted January 19, 2007 "Jan 8" will be my last update untill monday morning, --> for those that were interested and PM'd me. Entropy
Entropy Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) Fished on and off Friday evening through Sunday evening, only caught 4 small perch. Time to move the hut. I’ve got 6 to 7 feet and green weeds, but I guess the fish just are not there. My parents made it out. Scoop came apart My buddy focusing Saturday Sunset. Edited January 22, 2007 by Entropy
PatB Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Thanks for the report, have Friday off this week, was thinking about hitting the bog on the way back down from Jacks Lake.
