beginner Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Just thought I post this, I arrived 11am at the lake today and the ice was about 14" to 16" inches solid ice.. Saw few people fishin, few ATV's and snowmobile. Anyway I fished for about 4hrs today and got few hits and lost 2 while reeling in... Alot of fish in the sonar but its hard for the to commit, very picky.. Only got one today here's the pic. http://i1105.photobu...rman/photo1.jpg http://i1105.photobu...man/photo-2.jpg thnx to all the OFC'ers who help for the info about the lake joe ice condition I manage to go out againfor the last time... bfisher Edited March 28, 2011 by bfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyb Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) If you were between Playfair and Birch Islands, my guess is that you were parking at the CNIB camp....just wondering if you have been there a lot this year? I've heard of people's cars getting ticketed/towed from there the last couple of years, and have been reluctant to park there myself.

I didnt know that they ticket/towed car there, saw some cars last yr so I park there, then again this sunday.. well good to the hear news.. I would be very careful next time...

moose Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Ten dollars to park is alot cheaper than calling a taxi to go to pound and pay for car to be let go plus ticket Edited March 28, 2011 by malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skud Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I was also out there yesterday in Foot's Bay. My buddy landed two and lost a couple and I got skunked. We fished from 2-7pm. Lots of chasers but light biters, hard to get a good hook set. Will be out next weekend. The ice will hold up for sure. I seen over a dozen trucks driving around out there still. 12 to 16 inches of ice. Lake Joe has been unkind to me this season. Need to have a good outing for closure.
