fishermccann Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) I was out on Frenchmans Bay in Pickering on the weekend.( Jan. 8-9.) The ice is 8 to 10 inches over most of the bay,(except the usual hot spots). With the snow it was a lot easier to walk out compaired to the glare ice we had last week. 12 to 15 fisherpeople on the ice each day, with lots of perch and small pike caught. Minnows 2 feet of bottom in 8 feet of water is what was working, Good Luck!!! Edited January 10, 2011 by fishermccann
fishermccann Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Posted January 11, 2011 Was out again today, what a nice day to be on the ice. some more perch and a couple pike caught. Not many people out there ,lots of room to roam!

highdrifter Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 was that you out there between 4:30 and 5PM? did he have a nautilus floater jacket on??
GBW Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 did he have a nautilus floater jacket on?? hard to tell from the GO train all I was thinking of was the ice close to the tracks is wet, how safe is it out there?
highdrifter Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 hard to tell from the GO train all I was thinking of was the ice close to the tracks is wet, how safe is it out there? Ice was plenty safe where we were. I'd say about 10in. Entrance to the bay has some open water though. Not much doing for us unfortunately. Had one take in 4 hours of hucking it!!
GBW Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 my only day's I can fish are Sunday's so I go where I know the fish are, and it aint there...
daryl0815 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 I was there a few times last winter with nothing to show for it, I saw a couple people pull some small pike out about 50 feet from me, but that was the extent of the action, I may try it out soon though, it is pretty close to home.
toca Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 ice fishing close to home is awesome. too bad i cant do that on grenadier pond
fishermccann Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Posted January 13, 2011 If you ever see me down on the Bay, ( I go every couple of days), I will always have my dog, a Golden Ret. with me.
