Big Cliff Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I don't think I have ever seen it this bad at least not in the 12 years we've lived here. Right from the shore to as far out as I can see there are huge areas of slush. I steped off my dock onto the ice and it had to have been a solid 10" deep. There was a sleader last night trying to go past our place on the lake and he was having a really hard time. Just becareful if you are planning on going out on the ice in the next few days, getting stuck out there with a sled wouldn't be much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfisher Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Sounds like it's a better idea to let it firm up mid week later, with the cold weather coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angler management Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I had a really hard time yesterday on Simcoe. Old crappy sled, one passenger and a heavy 2 man frabil sled loaded with equipment. I was surprised we even made it back in the afternoon. The fog was brutal as well, good thing we were familiar with the area, i couldnt imagine how rough it would have been for somebody with a little less experience to get back to shore.

BillM Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I didn't find the conditions on Simcoe that bad yesterday when I went for a quick fish at around 2pm. There was a bit of slush, but nothing crazy. Although I guess it depends on where you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i was pushing it with a stupid heavy load in the trailer and a passenger on the sled. Probably the worst conditions ive ever been through.
