Big Cliff 464 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 With all this cold weather coming in I was just wondering if we are going to be able to get out for some jumbo perch in the next week or so. Does anyone have any info on ice conditions? Link to post Share on other sites
Terry 777 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Cooks bay you can in spots. Virginia Beach people are getting out. I have not heard any reports from Beaverton yet and I have not heard if hut rentals have any out yet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

LefroyFisherman 77 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Up by me just north of 7th line of Innisfil, we just froze over 2-3 days ago. I'm thinking by the weekend I can take a venture out with the spud bar. Link to post Share on other sites

AKRISONER 584 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Just saw a clip on social media of someone out in 120fow with two inches of ice. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
LefroyFisherman 77 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Quote J's hut rental from Lefroy there made a video and it was posted on Facebook, that he has seen quite a few people walk out with no float suit or safety gear, it's still really sketchy around there. 1-2 inches in random spots. I won't go out on less then 3 ish. This year I think there's a lot of Newbies that are taking a risk because there isn't much else to do. Hopefully no more tragedies this season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

LefroyFisherman 77 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 This snow is not gonna help at all either, damn insulator. Would have made a fair bit of ice over the next couple days, getting cold. I think I'll still be starting my hockey rink down at the lake this weekend. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lovetofish 4 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Anyone looked at Innisfil beach park yet? Link to post Share on other sites
Terry 777 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Yup Tuesday there was a few inches near shore. About 30 steps out about an inch and a half. Spud went through with an easy hit. Today I heard a few guys were out from the ninth line but not very far out. I would think there will be some walking out by Saturday Link to post Share on other sites

LefroyFisherman 77 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 No way I’d go out on 2 lol, man people are risking a lot for a fish. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Terry 777 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Lots of ice for walking from Monto Reno marina south to gilford In some of places there were machines on the ice but I spudded and found the ice too inconsistent for my bike. And saw some slush fields too 3 Link to post Share on other sites
LefroyFisherman 77 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Got my rink started today and did a flood, I have 3 inches of ice right near shore, I can see a few guys out off the point near the 7th line and a few farther north, can't be on too much ice... sketchy. Maybe another week for me. Link to post Share on other sites
