davey buoy Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I heard Cooks Bay 1.5",next weekend for sure!. Unsafe now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Don't forget, ice varies. It was New Years day 2008 or 2009 that Terry, Paul and I went out on Cook's Bay and I caught that huge carp. The ice was 4 to 5 inches in most spots, but one spot we were on it was only 2" Use your heads and be safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobowski Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Im planning on going to Virginia Beach tomorrow. I've seen video reports of 5 inches although it varies in spots. I will be following the crowds and spudding my way out just to be safe. I will report my findings and Jumbos (hopefully) tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelhedrmatt Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 it is a spot in the middle of simcoe that had great whitefish fishing one year and Sly, (RIP) was the great guy that found the spot and lead people to it I remember the day Sly found that spot. He came and grabbed Iceguy and myself from Iceguys hut. Said "lets go, we found the fish. Tommys out there now." It was one of the best days ive ever had out there. The next weekend he pulled all his huts out there, and for the rest of the season, it was a zoo. I still go out there from time to time, but the fishing has never been as good as that day. Heres the video from the day he found that spot. Lots of good days remembered with Sly. Miss ya Buddie!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunker777 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Looking to get out on the ice this weekend , my dad is here from Vancouver and has till Monday afternoon . Do you think Virginia beach would be a good bet ? Heading out Friday afternoon to fish Saturday and Sunday and we would be driving 4 hours . I don't want to make the trip if the ice isn't safe . Weather reports look good for the next few days ... Thanks for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
