I spoke with the harbor master today on the phone to get my harbor license and he seemed to imply that I would be travelling through the back channels and warned me that they are not currrently fully marked because its so early in the season. If you see me out there give me a wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Simcoe is frozen over. Zone 20 (lake Ontario) is open water. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 The OP asked about whether there was any open water near simcoe for pike...I pointed out that Zone 20 closes Saturday hence, theres a great opportunity to fish for some big pike this weekend. I mentioned to keep an eye out for me and give me a wave. Its always good to meet other OFCers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he wanted to take his dad ice fishing. Thats how I read it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
