davey buoy Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 The high winds over the last couple days,played havic with the waters freezing.Some small lakes that were iced over might of survived the winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Came from Couch. Pretty far from Hamilton, but if you want to fish it is an option. Ice is 4-5 inches at all spots I fished. Fishing was slow, but managed to get enough for supper. Edited December 14, 2013 by Costa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Some thin ice at Long Point Bay. I wouldn't go out until the commercial guys put out their huts here. Perch is $8.00 a pound in Dover, still fresh for now. If you need a meal, ice fishing in southern On. Isn't the wat to get it yet, here anyway. Soon we hope. It's the earliest winter in years, it's a few days away, it's still fall, patience. Some ski resorts on the southern tier in NY have not had this much snow this early since the 70's I have heard.

Rich Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm just packing my stuff up and headed ice fishing. Bring a spud, and look for smaller waterbodies that are out of the wind. Or just wait til you see people out on the hammer. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopheraaron Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Commercial guys ice fishing? Didn't know that. How exactly do they do that? I'm guessing he's talking about guys that rent out huts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm guessing he's just talking about fish prices from commercial trollers... but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pics Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Valens and Binbrook won't be open until they have good enough ice due to insurance issues. There's Martindale pond and the boat launch at pier 4 that should be thick enough soon. If you like to fish early or late in the season then ask Santa for a float suit... or try to find a used one for sale.... take no chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
