misfish Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 Ya the weather was to be so TERRIFYING. Woke up at 4am heard the rain on the window. Back to sleep til 5:30. Look outside and said you buggers. Flags were limp. Grab my gear and get to said spot. South winds were called for, so selected a south shore spot. Ya the one that has not produced for me yet this year. Well wouldn't you know it,they were there, and wouldn't you know it, not a single sole out there. LMAO. There was little to no wind,a light rain for about 5 minutes the sun even came out for a spell. Walking in the snow drifts was a bit of a challenge. They softened up a bunch. Thankfully,my walk was not far. Travel was to be light this morning. Toboggan,finder,rods and auger. Fish food style. I got 4 hours in then the wind started. Home time. Fresh fish for dinner tonight again, and will share with my co-workers Monday. Travel was light Meegs was on fire again. 4
Fish Farmer Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 Way to go bro, some good eats there. Just read there doing a rescue in Long Pt. Bay right now some guy floating out on broke up ice.

OhioFisherman Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 It has been howling here since very early this morning, supposedly a tractor trailer blown over on I - 71 and a ban on some high profile vehicles on parts of the Ohio turnpike. They were calling for wind gusts of up to 65 mph here, my vinyl siding is tell me about it! It was supposedly 56 degrees when I got up this morning, down to 39 now. Glad to hear you could make it out Brian.
misfish Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Posted February 24, 2019 Sitting here from across CTV, I can hear the tower cables starting to sing. It,s a sound I will never forget.
Fisherman Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 Just watched tweedle dee and tweedle dumber standing in the breeze trying to hold each other up and then listening to the steroid laced chipmunketts, babbling about a 1000 miles an hour.
MJIG Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 Huge ice shoves are happening along some of the Great Lakes shores right now. The winds forecast tonight may be some of the strongest in our lifetimes at 120 km/hr in some places.

OhioFisherman Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Thanks for posting that dave, pretty incredible!
Woodsman Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Forecast was pretty close for where I am at. Left work at 7 pm and there was a very stiff cross wind trying to blow me off the road. Last 5 kms added almost zero visibility. Still bad here.

Yes,the strongest winds I have ever seen here. It,s great conditions to test yourself putting up a pop up hut. Edited February 25, 2019 by misfish 1

Really hits home as I've fished that wall many times south of the Peace Bridge for Pickeral and Trout in the spring and fall, sometimes winter even. Stunned at the speed it came ashore, I had envisioned it coming in much slower, that didn't leave anytime if you had to evacuate a home or something. 1

Stunned at the speed it came ashore, I had envisioned it coming in much slower, that didn't leave anytime if you had to evacuate a home or something. Yes that happened quickly! We used to cross into Ontario on the Fort Erie bridge and on our trips to the falls would stop and look at the river, a lot of current and with the extra wind push? Back in the 1980's we had a bunch of people lose their boat that were stored on cradles at an area marina in a river valley. One spring the ice let go and just pushed them out into a metal breakwall in the lake.

DRIFTER_016 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 My buddy took this in Altmar NY yesterday. Pretty dang windy.
OhioFisherman Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Wow, we had the wind but luckily missed on the snow!
AKRISONER Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) York Regional PoliceVerified account @YRP 2h2 hours ago More WHITE OUT - Our Marine Unit officers are out on Lake Simcoe responding to calls for service. They are advising that visibility is 10ft or less due to blowing snow. Avoid being out on or near the lake if possible. #ONStorm you have got to me kidding me guys...use your brain. I love putting cop's lives at risk because you needed to catch a few whiteys...they should leave em out there. They are no doubt in huts and dressed properly, they will survive 24 hours.

Fisherman Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Those types need a smack up side the noggin with a frozen carp and those are the ones that should pay for rescue. Absolutely no need to be out on the lake in these conditions.
OhioFisherman Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 That sounds like an excellent use for carp to me!
DRIFTER_016 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Could be stuck out there. Like these peeps in Minnesota. https://www.kare11.com/article/weather/hundreds-of-ice-anglers-stuck-on-mille-lacs/89-1fbcf979-255f-4383-ac19-744f438a7bbd?fbclid=IwAR0ga6QkEutM-QmHsSQvj0vs4cEsaAjRKhL4OdjKirJsTmBR5l21OZY3KX0
porkpie Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 It was an interesting night to work last night, and an even nicer drive home this morning. Last night we could barely see the road in front of us. This morning wasn’t much better. I stopped 4 times for cars and trucks in the ditch on the way home and still saw people driving way faster than they could ever react for the conditions. And they wonder why they’re in the ditch.
