Bay of Quinte - Ice Conditions

[Jeff_C]

Most of the areas are not safe right now. The mild spell and winds broke up the ice in many areas only 200 yards off shore. Many of these areas are wide open right now. I guess, it looks like I picked a good time to be out of town. There are a couple of spots with people still going out, but it isn't safe to be just walking around. I may look around tomorrow afternoon when I get back, but I'll be spudding every step of the way. One spot that I checked on Tuesday morning had decent enough ice before I left, but I only went 150 yards or so out.

 

I would imagine that you could be on 4" one minute and 1/2" the next right now and possibly not see it for the snow.

 

Safety first, fish second...
