The Ketchican Kid 56 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Had the cameras rolling last week while fishing solo out of Virginia Beach for big yellowbellies using artificials. There's something about sight fishing that is just so satisfying! ice was a consistent 7" everywhere I went and it seemed like there were lots of good fish around. I would expect there is lots of angling pressure there on weekends so I think the best option if you're thinking of going would be to really "SOCIAL DISTANCE" yourself from others to avoid the noise/pressure of other anglers. Tight lines! Lyle fishingking, smerchly, Surf and Turf and 6 others 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

genec 313 Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Was watching a video on the L Simcoe ice conditions today. A guy drilled 4 holes along a line for about 50 yards ... thicknesses ranged 3”, 4 1/2”, 5” and 8 inches...crazy differences showing up there. Lots of reports about vehicles going thru the ice, and big cracks showing up suddenly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
