Master of Bait Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hey folks, Just a quick question. Thinking of hitting Scugog tonight but it'd be my first ice fishing session this year (and at scugog ever). Anyway, just wondering if anyone can direct me to an area that presents an easy access point to get to fish from shore that is fairly well used (like, where the other huts are). Just don't want to venture out to some isolated patch of thin ice after dark and go for a swim with the muskies at this time of year. Beyond that, I'll take GPS coordinates to all of your hotspots, a free guided trip, I'll use your favorite baits and lures and hog all the fish (just kidding). Appreciate any tips you can offer on getting out thee safely to where others will be fishing. Can I buy minnows in town in the evening or do I need to get there earlier? Cheers, MoB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Finding safe ice is not an issue to say the least. I was out there last weekend, and there was a solid 17-18 inches of ice. I'd suggest Caeserea for a launch point, and head left to the large group of huts. They'll be on the deep hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master of Bait Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Awesome Jt - that's just what I was looking for, thanks. I'm sure my manual auger with dull blades will be a real peach on 17-18 inches of ice! 2 more quick q's: I'm on foot - is it a long walk? Can I buy bait in Port Perry around 7-8pm or should I go earlier? Thanks again, MoB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Causeway Bait (on the 7a directly on the way) is open until 7 I believe. And yes, it's about a 20-30 minute walk, depending on the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBW Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 no prob. I'll be there tomorrow in the old broken down hut of my wife's uncle and may need some local help if I cannot find his auger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
