Rob Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Nice work Rick how many times did you have to move? , Today was more of a scouting day for me, I moved around plenty today (6 times to be exact)and could not find them. I am begging for some help!! I plan on taking my kids tomorrow and would like for them to get on some fish. Just a little general location to start would be a great help, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Rob C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickOnt Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Rob Are you Walking or Riding??? Where do you access the Lake??? Do you have a Flasher or electronics of some type??? Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icefisherman Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Another good report Rick wish some action shots too ha ha Same question to you too I guess... similarly to Rob I would like to take both kids out...but can only do it while the car is around...the little one cannot walk kilometers ...sooo...the $66,000 question - with no snow and no slush are there cars/trucks been driven out there today? Hoping all this water from 2 days ago is frozen by now solid and has added few more inches to the ice thickness? Cheers, Ice Fisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 lots of cars and trucks out there Many out from the 9th line and lockhart saw some north fox and near snake some out from IBP but didn't see many out from BBP if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Heading out off of Oro from the around the 7th. I have sleds so travelling is not a problem. I headed towards the 12th line to try it out there, but marked just the odd fish every hour. Rob C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickOnt Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Ice You know me I will never tell you it is OK to drive a Vehicle on the Ice What I will tell you is the conditions I found where I travelled I drilled spots to-day that were 8" and spots that were 14" I did cross a couple of cracks To-Day they were flat and only open 6". There is Very little snow and no slush. Give me a Call Later Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) I have not seen any cars out off the north side of the lake with exception of some vehicles parking on the shore. South side of the lake might be more consistent than the north side. Rob C Edited February 21, 2011 by Rob C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 drilled spots to-day that were 8" and spots that were 14" Havent heard of those little thickness in along time for Simcoe. Guess the snow really did a job this year.I dont see this weeks temp helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickOnt Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I Hear Ya Brian For the end of Febuary there is not the usual thickness of Ice on the Big Lake. We "Should" still be Good till the end of the season!! Not an issue for Sleds or Bikes not sure about Cars and Trucks!!! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Great report Rick, nice whities Emil, as Terry said, we saw truck and vans out there, but I personally would not do it. The ice is too inconsistent. We passed over 1 open pressure crack about 10" wide on the way there, then on the way home, passed over 4 pressure cracks, and the open one was now overlapping with ice chunks sticking up. The ice is definately moving and thinner in some spots. Be cautious please!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Great report I love the second picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icefisherman Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks for your honest opinions girls and guys.... I'll give it several more days but yes with the kids walking is not an option...no snow machine yet...so as previous years I'm just trying to find a good day at the end of the season I can drive...when they get tired/cold just put them inside the car with the heat on and voila...they are happy... And yes Terry when I go it'll be most likely from 9-th line to the middle of the lake...if anything we should get couple more inches in the next few days with around -15 temps at night...sooooo....almost there ;-) Cheers, Ice Fisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
