Simcoe ice question

[bassmaster4]

Hey Guys,

I've been out on cooks bay a few times alrdy and I know the ice is pretty thick, was planning to get out again this Saturday but the forecast is calling for rain. Just wondering if anyone has any input on what rain can do to the ice. Should I stay home?

Thanks

It is probably gonna be pretty slushy out there. Its fishable, but be preparred to wear tall rubber boots, the walk wont be fun

Wont do much to the ice, but conditions will be awesome once things firm back up.

 

I wish we were getting some of that up here. We need a good thaw to knock down the slush

The ice will be fine. It will just be wet. This is just what we need. It will only make it better once it firms back up.

Rain won't do anything to the ice.. just pray it REALLY REALLY rains! We could use at least 10 days of rain and then -40c up North. Wife and I just about left my 500 Skidoo as lake structure on Sunday. 2 miles with throttle pegged to the bar to find high ground to stop and fish.. same thing back with slush banging off the back of her head rebounding off the hut behind us.

that's still far more cool than watching "Dancing with the Stars" by the woodstove, good that you guys got out there, hopefully a fish or 2 also

I stole the Lake Herring that was following her white grub... dropped a florescent green Swedish Pimple down and it attacked it!
