misfish Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 LOL It started out to be a great morning walk out and I moved a ton this morning. So did my buddy fishfarmer . We was not sitting for long til it was moving time again and again and again. 11 x to be exact for me. We fished shallow, fished deeper then I like, went shallow and back to deep, til finally, found some fish. There was lots,but they were very tight lipped. During 10 am til 11:30, the ice banged,boomed and shifted like crazy once that east breeze started. Water was sloshing in the holes . Once Lord Simcoe finally calmed down, I was able to hook into 4 fish pretty quick and lose 2 . All with,n a span of 20 minutes. Then it shut down. Screen was white for an hour after . Called it quits . Walking was great. Just ice that required cleats for sure . Lord Sim played a little nasty on me once I got back to shore. The area was already sketchy getting on, but doable . When I got back well, not so. It was pick a spot and just get across . Well I picked a spot, shoot the smitty across first. My turn and well, dipdadip I go. Up to my waist . Funny how fast an ole man can jump out when he needs to . LOL Needless to say, this access spot is done . To bad as I was enjoying this new spot to me. Ended the morning with a whitie and 3 perch. Missed 2 other whities. On and off . Dave fishfarmer walking off in the sunrise . 2
Terry Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 Nice going. I knew it was too bad to get on the ice with my yamadoo, so I turned around and looked for other access. I chickened out but I didn’t know it was so broken up that you would take a polar plunge

Get close to the crack and I could feel the ice giving .

One lesson learned after that Scenario always had 2 8x10 in the hut just in case we met a crack. We were lucky there’ was a shelf under the crack. Or it was gonzo! Made for a wet day. Hope you were only waist deep.
