nancur373 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Went to check out a lake this afternoon. Saw about 8 guys out there so out I went. Fished with a couple guys that I met last year...still don't know their names lol. We saw a newer ski-doo with two kids on it ripping up and down the lake and then they headed straight for the open water. when they hit the slush it bogged down but luckily the machine had enough power to overcome it and ride the water. Would have been real scary as there is a good undertow there to the dam. They went off the lake and had to ride the road to where ever and didn't see them anymore. Anyhoo, I got there around 1:30 and left around 4. Caught about a dozen and let most go as one of the other guys gave me some when he left. Got mine on a berkley 2" minnow and a perch like tube. The other guys were using grubs. The bite was really hot before i got there and tapered off quickly lol. They stayed right below us and didn't have to move much. Was a good first ice day.

Burtess Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 Must be a good population of crappie on that pond, how much pressure does it get? I might have to head up with my kid. Any pike in there? Strictly catch and release for us though as nobody else in the house eats fish but me Burt
irishfield Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 You might wanna kill that lake and access description PDQ... Nice haul of fish!!

Any pike in there? Strictly catch and release for us though as nobody else in the house eats fish but me Burt I wouldn't say tons of pressure. today there were about 8-10 of us. In middle of winter you can see as many as 30-40. Pike yes and some nice ones too. Need live minnows for those guys. You might wanna kill that lake and access description PDQ... Nice haul of fish!! I don't mind Wayne. Not like the lake is a secret. 3/4 of the shoreline is public access and you can see most of the lake from anywhere you enter and all the guys are in the one spot for the slabs. It's not hard to figure out.
crappieperchhunter Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 You might wanna kill that lake and access description PDQ... Nice haul of fish!! I agree 100%. PURENEWF it's not a matter of it being well known by the locals. It might be able to sustain that fishing pressure. But once it gets on the internet ....the hordes that may have always gone elsewhere might just start going there instead. I'm very jealous of your day as I have not been on the ice yet. Congrats on that. But for the sake of your local honey hole you might really wanna keep it on the down low.
irishfield Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 At least the Tannery isn't pumping into it anymore...
nancur373 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Posted December 15, 2013 At least the Tannery isn't pumping into it anymore... True that
nancur373 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Posted December 15, 2013 Modified it just a little as I was getting the same vibes from other boards as well...
Sinker Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 This thread should be deleted. Sorry, but its against the rules to post detailed information and lake names. I bet theres more guys out there now....in fact, I guarantee it!! S.
nancur373 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Posted December 15, 2013 Delete it if you must and I'll delete my profile. Didn't realize it was against the law to share info about fishing on a fishing forum and that there were secret lakes that no one knows about in southern Ontario. Think I'll take my info and advice elsewhere. Nice knowing you guys.
irishfield Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 I think Sinker posted while you were editing.... nothing wrong with what's there now!

Just delete some (wording) and no more harm done.It'll be forgotten in no time . . Edited December 15, 2013 by davey buoy
nancur373 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Posted December 15, 2013 Please do not post VERY SPECIFIC information on fishing spots, ie pinpoint locations and maps. It is our belief that sharing this type of knowledge to the general public is not at all good for the resource itself. When communicating info on spots, please keep it to email or a PM. No where does it say no lake names and no where did I say exactly where I was on the lake nor how deep I was fishing.
aplumma Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 The post is fine lets not let winternet get ahead of us yet . It is to early. Thanks Art

I never got to read your original pre-editted post... But if you posted a name of a lake, for early ice crappies... Your crazy. Sorry man. But that's just the way it is. Some people really don't understand what the internet can do to a lake. Edited December 16, 2013 by N.A.W

Some people really don't understand what the internet can do to a lake. I realize the issue now. I was just pissed of the attitude towards me saying that the whole thread should be removed. I also realized we're lifers...so may as well stick around
Fisherman Posted December 16, 2013 Report Posted December 16, 2013 There was mention of ice on a small lake close to Barrie, the next day you couldn't find a parking spot..
Acountdeleted Posted December 16, 2013 Report Posted December 16, 2013 That is a pretty sweet haul. Nicely done.
