When you impact thin ice it causes cracks and with your weight you can go through. Break down and buy a power auger Smerch. You won't be sorry.

Seanook Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 For sure Mick. Right now everything below Erindale is locked up with ice. Going down with a cinder block and a rope to see if I can do some demolition to free up my spot. My hopes aren't high though. Merry Christmas to you too and everyone else here. P.S. This post made me itch for fish so bad I booked at Tama Kwa for a weekend in January. Report was over a foot of hard water and increasing daily. Can't wait.

DaveC Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Your going to have fun Sean...say hello to Heather, Joe and Nikko for me !!! I will be up there for family day weekend in Feb.

Seanook Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o584/seanook/crazycroat.jpg For some reason I can't upload the image to the actual thread but the crazy old Croatian in the pic is standing on about 2 1/2 inches of ice above a 6 ft hole of water which is moving at a good clip. Me swinging a cinder block (although I'm probably just gonna drop it from the bridge not seen in this pic) and clearing the ice just might save a dumbass. And for those folks who are gonna get all bent out of shape at me for not blurring out the background........Try finding this spot without prior knowledge or a guide. I bet you can't. And if you put the footwork in to find it then you earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_b Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 lol nice pic Seanook...been a while since I've been there...and it looks like its gonna be a while again for me to get there when all that ice clears up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanook Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 The arrival of the ice there was kinda heartbreaking. I fished that hole all season last year and not once did it freeze over....not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelMenFish Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Always contact an operator before making the trip out. Remember this site for contact info and occasionally updated ice info. https://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=201198359476421360459.0004cf306c48e9cbbbf0a&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=m&source=embed&ll=44.454369,-79.344635&spn=0.343093,0.583649&z=10 Unfortunately the map links are still posting last years info. I personally drove Beaverton-Pefferlaw yesterday. A COUPLE Huts are on! only saw about 5 at this location (44.354542,-79.211796) and no further than that. A lot of men are discussing and prepping though (sitting in the driveway in their huts drinking, lol) looks like majority will be out in perch grounds before the new year.

Seanook Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Was out on Cook's yesterday. Took us a bit but we found the Jumbos. Ice was generally about a foot thick with about a six inch snow/ice insulating layer on top due to the ice storm. It made walking a bit difficult at times but nothing too bad. Travelling was sketchy in spots as usual with high traffic areas. Once we got onto the fish it was non stop. We couldn't keep the flags down on our tip ups. I love winter!
