I had to pick up some pills for my dog today near Port Dal.,so I checked the harbour to see only one angler fishing on the east side near the dam. The water was very muddy ! Then I saw a few cormorants diving on the west side in the shallow marina bay ,so I thought they may be chasing minnows ! I saw a very large splash beside a cormorant that just surfaced ....looked like a big fish took a swipe at it ?? So I tossed a J-11 for 20 minutes but nada , then decided to get my 4' minnow net & try for minnows ...nada again . While putting the net away it was frozen stiff ! And so was I !! It was nice to give it a shot anyway , another day outside , braving the elements ..... Fish Farmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually see it in the news but I didn’t see anything. I was thinking the same thing ! The wind really mucked up Erie & sent the muck down the River & the 12 Mile Creek system . Whenever Erie freezes up these tribs run very clear . Other parts of the world are having very cold stormy conditions . , even Spain ! On the bright side ......the weather people are usually 50% right ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb Posted December 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 No problems. The waves were pounding but they did not get high enough flood the land. Last year there was 2 feet water over the lawn. This storm the waves did not make it to the tree. dave524, Tyler0420, smerchly and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Good to see no damage done . My wife's parents had a cottage the same distance from the lake at Long Beach and most damage to the cottage was caused by wind and tree limbs . That big apple tree reminds me of my backyard red delicious tree that is now deceased . They installed a bunch of big cement blocks to help stop bank erosion .

genec Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Re hurricane Hazel - my wife’s parents were in Toronto at the time with a church group. Coming home when the hurricane hit, their bus was the last vehicle to make it across the Don River bridge before it collapsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
