camillj 10 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Hi folks, I cant believe its been so long since I last posted ... hahaha .. just saw one of my replies from 2012 (on a "bumped" post) ... anyhow hope every one is staying safe and making the best of the situation. Now to my point, I've been staying home (not at the cottage) just outta respect for the locals ... they dont need my city-boy germs ... ok maybe also because there wasn't much safe ice ... but with our "lockdown" soon to be lifted I figured I'd go north and at least shovel off my roof a bit. BUT while I'm there I HAVE to get out on the big lake(s) for some lakers. Would most appreciate any feedback on the conditions (ice/slush/fishin) ... pm's welcome too (and .. does anyone know if Bait on the lake is open ... if not is there somewhere on the way up tha t can sell shiners ? Thanks and tight lines ! Link to post Share on other sites
lew 661 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Can't help with your question Jon but good to see your still around and doing well. Link to post Share on other sites
camillj 10 Posted February 17 Author Report Share Posted February 17 Thanks Lew .. been a LONG time ! Hope you are doing ok as well ! Last time s=we spoke you hung up your legendary musky rods ... have ya had any "relapses" ? Link to post Share on other sites
lew 661 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 No relapses at all Jon and I don't miss it at all. I've had plenty of offers and did go out once for a few hours but the enjoyment wasn't there and I never went again. There's still a small group of us go up to Nippissing every year but now rather than going out fishing we sit on the shore and talk about about it instead LOL Link to post Share on other sites
camillj 10 Posted February 17 Author Report Share Posted February 17 I hear ya Lew ... to be honest .. I'm not sure if you remember but I caught the 'prospecting' bug a number of years ago ... so now I spend at least a 100 hours in the bush looking at rocks for every hour on the boat ... but Im still a dedicated speck chaser ... and I still have the sit out (alone) in the cold ice fishing sickness too Link to post Share on other sites
Rizzo 156 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I had friends on Rosseau a week ago, they said they had around 5 to 6 inches of ice. This was not too far from Windermere. So the ice was decent...but apparently they didn't have any luck with the fishing (were after lakers and walleye) Link to post Share on other sites
AKRISONER 627 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I’m guessing there’s plenty of ice to walk on. Might be slushy with all of the snow though Link to post Share on other sites
camillj 10 Posted March 14 Author Report Share Posted March 14 Thanks Guys .. was up last week and got a couple small ones ... Ice was great .. about 12" ... not sure now after that big thaw now though Link to post Share on other sites
