Clampet Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 -28 degrees! The car’s temp gauge barely made it above the C mark, providing minimal heat on the trip there. Arrived at the spot by 9:30 AM. A thin upper crust did it’s best to stop me from breaking thru at regular intervals into the 4-6” of slush atop 10” of ice. One chilled Catherine, was the deciding factor to leave at 12:30 PM. 3 small Perch caught at 3 different sites in the general area (I kept moving in the hope of finding more cooperative fish) I think the cold temps shut them down, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. I should have left later to arrive around 3:00 PM to fish till dusk, which may have proven more effective. Here’s a couple of pictures: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodsman Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I was also there today. Myself & a buddy decided to head out to Innisfil for some icefishing. Started out in 80' of water targeting whitefish. Here's a decent whitey George caught. The largest fish of the day I was lucky enough to get. After catching our limit on whitefish & we lost a few on the way up before limiting out, we moved in to shallower water & caught between 20-25 smaller perch. We were in 22' of water out from a yellow doored boat house a few hundred yards south of the boat ramp. Overall George may have beat me on numbers but size also counts. Arrived about 8 am and left a dark. Last vehicle out of the parking lot at the park. Best: Wishes: Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutologist Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I was hoping for the inclusion of the tarpus maximus in this report! Some fish is always better than none....unless they're whistling trout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
