Willow Beach Simcoe Jan 10

[turtle]

Fished for perch yesterday, some people were out on the whitefish grounds. Ice varied between estimated 4 to maybe 7 inches. Told it was open water a week ago. Ice surface very rough especially closer to shore, looks like it broke up and refroze. Challenging for walking and pulling sled as the sled hung up on the ice sticking up. Lots of slush under the ice also challenging. Light bite for the most part and slush was tough, caught 10 all 9-12 inch keepers and lost 2 nice ones at the hole in the slush. Fairly slow but lots of sun and nice to be on Simcoe again.

That slush is fun isn't it. I was thinking Willow beach next weekend but will go elsewhere now to avoid the slush.

 

Thx for posting this report. It saves me some frustration next weekend.
