Terry Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) well got up this morning,.... always a good start to the day and decided to check out cooks bay I got to the bottom of Gilford road and saw about 30 people out on the ice well grabbed my stuff and I ventured out right off the bat the ice at the shore is broken up and you have to move fast to not go down...not a good start but I know the water is under a foot deep there as I walked I could hear the ice making noises, lots of noises kept checking and seemed to be 4/5" everywhere I came up on a slush field and when I first broke through it scared the hell out of me, but I think it was just the top crust of frozen slush that broke...I hope..did a detour around it and continued on out fished around 17 ft.... fishing was slow and I moved around a bit there was a air boat tied up out there and I think that is what broke up the ice at the shore... it was snowing real hard so I didn't want to drive home in bad weather so I packed up and headed in, found the same slush field again but made it in just fine there shouldn't be any problems for people going out as long as they keep checking as they go be safe if you go and wear a floater suit like I did <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/?action=view¤t=cook.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/cook.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/?action=view¤t=cook1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/cook1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/?action=view¤t=cooook1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/cooook1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> was great to get out again Edited December 30, 2008 by Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Looks like some good black ice out there still. Thats always good to see. I'm hoping to get out for some perch tomorrow...... Thanks for the report! Sinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookinforwalleye Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Waiting a week or so would be prudent for those who don`t like to tempt fate. At least they don`t have their vehicles parked on the ice yet, the Simcoe crowd likes to see 6" before using the lake as a parking lot! LOL Stay safe out there!

Greencoachdog Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 So... what? Like the top of the lakes freezes into ice or something and you fish thru little holes in it??? ... aren't the fish frozen too?... or is that why all fish in the GWN have teeth.. so they can chew thru the ice???
