Big Cliff Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Well, considering that we have less ice than usual here this year and the long range forecast is calling for well above normal temperatures here for at least the next two weeks with plenty of rain. I have a feeling this is going to be a very early spring. I'm guessing that the spawns will be a few weeks earlier than normal too so we are really going to have to adjust our fishing tactics to compensate. I'm betting ice out here and the boat in the water before April 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike rousseau Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 An early spring will make up for the late spring last year... Last year I was getting walleye with eggs in em till June.... Never caught walleye with eggs in the spring before... And maybe the weeds will get nice and thick again...

Sinker Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I had the boat out today. First time its ever seen water in Feb!! S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I don't think the Scugog river ever did freeze over this year. Most winters you could drive a sled right up the river into Lindsay at some point. Where did you have your boat in Sinker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskywizard Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Normally I'd be happy waiting for Mother Nature to run her course, but this year I'm dying to get out on Sturgeon open water. Spring can come any time now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I' glad I'm not the only one itching to get out. I pulled my boat out of the backyard last weekend and put it in the driveway. My plan was to do it early spring while the ground was still frozen but with the plus temps and rain coming, who knows? Anyway, redoing the livewell valves and plumbing and I'm going back in the water! Mid-March most likely. Muhahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peps Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I agree with Cliff, this is the earliest I've seen geese paired up. Saw my first pair almost 2 weeks ago. Peps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a man of the land my hole life and watching the tell tail signs i'am with you on this Cliff , i know i better get the perch boat ready sooner then later . Mother nature will give another huff and puff a time or two then it will be here , her storms will be short lived from here on in , buds are all ready on some trees .

Sinker Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I was on quinte, Cliff. More open water than ice down that way, although we did fish close enough to ice to see some icefisherman. Crazy winter for sure. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
