barrystrs Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I walked out about 20' on the east side of the island, near Pine Point, Dec 28. First swing with the axe it went through, about 1 and a half inches thick. Bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimaster Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Well, no doubt someone will die on scugog as is the case what seems every year. Be safe on the sleds and on the feet folks. There is a reason why Scugog's nickname is Skidoobegone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBW Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Have to row...outboard is drained and sitting in garage. So, rather that than walk on the thin ice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Might have to get a hovercraft if these winters keep up. you are the engineer not me! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stendec Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Buy an Argo, land, ice, water. Just dont know how easy it would be from open water to get onto ice again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Unless you have tracks you wont. haha I saw that once before just kept slipping, but at least they didn't sink. As for that hovercraft hull, its s nice looking hull, how stuck can it possibly be, light is the key word with hovercrafts. That skirt is destroyed, needs props engines, mount, controls... umm everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they will SINK,buddy had one sink at the Bay of Quinte at Trenton few years ago sat on bottom for a week until he got it out.He broke through thin ice and tried to climb back on solid ice with it,the back end took on water and pulled it under.

Acountdeleted Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) This is probabally going to sound like a dumb question, but where can I buy a spud? I'd like to check out Scugog out of Caserea tomorrow but there is no way I'm going out without one. Course if someone wanted to tell me about a safer lake that I could go for crappie I wouldn't be opposed.

robfrawley Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Can any confirm what the ice is like by Stephenson point road area? South of goreskis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemper Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I checked the ice at the end of the island, as well as the east side of the island and right in port perry - found it quite inconsistent still. Lots of sled tracks, but I wouldn't be on it with any machines yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciceri Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 We've got huts out off Washburn Island and running the quads and sleds around out there. Not saying the whole lake is safe or even around the island, make sure you know before you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
