honeyv Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Got out this morning... Ice is still solid! It was a slow bite but I got into some fish. I definitely had to work to find em... Just kept hopping around with the Vexilar like a nut until I marked. Anyway, 1 perch, and two bluegill... Gave the perch away to a couple of guys fishing beside me since my freezer is still full from my last visit to Simcoe. I set up the hut, but I was barely in it because the weather was great.

rile Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Was out this afternoon at front end lots of ice not a lot of fish, bg thanks to guy who gave me a thermos of minnows I was out there with Joey, almost lost my perch rod to a nice pike, pulled right down the hole, luckily we had used some exsisting holes that were smaller and the rod got lodged in the hole, fought it for a little bit but eventually broke my 4 lb test at the hole. I was jigging with my pike setup in the hole next to it, but they always seem to hit the perch rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart really starts pounding when you see that stand tip over. Glad you were able to get yours back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyMunter Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 i was out a rennie sunday morning for a little bit. moved around a few times. no luck. lots of fishies on the finder. It was only my second time out there, so i pretty much wanted to explore some different depths and see what i could find. I was about 14ft. going to try some shallower spots and look for some friendly pike. All in all a nice relaxing morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove by Rennie in the afternoon on the way to Port D and did not see anyone! Thinkin about heading out tomorrow for some ice fishin!!! I was there ,just around the point on the right side , trying for carp , to no avail . It's a deeper bay ,even close to shore between the fallen trees is over 8' . I tried at different depths up to 12' but not a sniff . I tried for pannies for an hour with the light rod & not a fish to be had .....doesn't seem to be a fish in there , unless there's some pike cruising the area . 8 fow close to shore..... carp set up ......chipped out two 6" holes to make larger holes.....just in case...... Smerch's sugar shack When I left I gathered some branches to stick around those large 12" & 8" holes to alert others to them , something I was taught to do over 50 yrs ago.

jordanl Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 smerch iv been checking the site all day hoping to see your post on how you did, shame to see you got the white stripe, i think carp on the ice would crazy, looks like you had yourself a nice little undisturbed piece of ice too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmaster24 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Martindale is very spot specific for ice fishing, like anywhere. This is where leg work and time in counts. Keep a journal, dissect the water a section at a time and you will discover a honey hole. Pieces of the puzzle will explain why the fish are there. agree with you 110%!

niagarangler89 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 NA, did you make it to that tackle shop I sent you?? We drove up too early and got there before any of the shops opened. Thanks anyway, Mick. We will definitely be back so I'll keep that info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAITCASTER Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 So I spent the morning 8:00am - 2:00pm ice fishing martindale pond by the announcers booth the Ice was was 8inches thick in some spots and around 6 in others. There were some guys playing ice hockey and skating out in the middle so I would assume it to be safe out there for anyone wanting to fish. The bite was slow tho. I myself caught nothing and my buddy a single sunfish. better than nothing lol. there were a total of 5 people out there and tho I left before everyone else I only saw a total of maybe 4 or 5 perch caught. I took some really great pictures of the ice conditions as well as everyone fishing however I havnt figured out how to upload them yet lol. hopefully I can figure it out before too long. as well The ice seemed to be melting very fast due to this great wheather we have had today. to any of you guys going out there I hope you have better luck than I did,(although anytime spent outdoors is a good one for me) CHEERS!!!!

jordanl Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 glad to hear you still had fun, one warning though, since your saying the ice is melting from the warm weather, anyone going out must take extra caution getting on and off the ice, shore ice is first to get thin and sometimes looks deceiving, so be careful please!
