marktheperchman Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 i checked the ice in dain city on thursday afternoon(the windy day) and it was all broke up with open water. im talking about the area closest to port colborne. the water was very dirty from the runoff also. when it does freeze over it will take a long time to clear up. ive found in the past when it is dirty the perch go somewhere else or are very light on the bite. methinks i will try the area north of the main street bridge in welland when and if the ice is good again. all this snow will definitely slow down the freezing process and it is supposed to warm up again next weekend. %#@&%. my plant closes and i have all the time in the world to fish and no ice to do it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnhunt Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Fished just downstream of the mouth this morning for a few hours (caught a few dinks). 10 or so guys out this morning, seemed the same for everyone (pretty slow) and I only seen 1 or 2 decent ones caught. Pretty good ice (4+ inches), marked tonnes of smelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genec Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I was at the south end of the Dain City road this morning. Lots of marks both near the bottom and about 6 ft, but 2 1/2 hours and not a single bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellandrivercarper Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Wrong ES fox shop PLEASE stay off the ice where you are talking about there is way to much moving water to EVER get hard enough to walk on.The Niagara river and welland river meet there and go down the hydro canal. wrc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feldie Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Thanks WRC. That's what I thought. It would have been nice to icefish 5min from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
