open water around lake simcoe

[Terry]

well went for a drive to see if I could find a spot to fish open water...

didn't have much luck, but a bit of wind and rain with the warm weather...soon

 

the holland river in Bradford is melting, but not ready yet

 

 

 

halfway haven still frozen, but the guys are icefishing for the crappie..I didn't see any action going on

 

 

 

Soldiers Bay ....soild ice

 

 

 

 

 

canal off Ravenshoe...starting, but a long way to go before a boat can get in

 

 

 

 

same canal off lakeshore road...they are still accessing the lake on the canal

 

 

 

 

the lake access off Glenwoods beach road is melting, but people still going out

 

 

lots of ice on the lake

 

 

 

 

the Jersey/Maskinonge rive in keswick is still hard as a rock

 

 

 

 

well maybe next weekend I will find some open water perch or crappie, the search continues

That hole here in the bay is getting bigger by the day.

 

Maybe we can push your fold out out to it.Be the first to fish open water.LOL

Thanks Terry, I was planning to go to Holland River tomorrow. But after seeing your ice condition report, I guess I'll find another spot

[boatman]

Thanks a lot. I was wondering if this warm weather had opened up any access, yet.

Spent morning on Cook's Bay, 16 inches of ice but honeycombed. Only a few days left of safe ice IF you can get on from shore. Caught about 150 perch to get 30 keepers.

great report....I was thinking of going down to check it out soon but it looks like its gonna be a few more weeks before we have some fishable water at the bottom of cooks

[Terry]

I don't think it will be more then 2 weeks

I will be checking when I can

can't wait to get on the water
