Guest Sue Watson 1 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 You are more than welcome buddy, how deep did you fish today? More than anything I am glad you made it back safely. There is a Bait shop I think its called Kingsville, or something like that along the 400 hwy. It has great bait there, we stop on our way down there. Let me know what ice conditions were like and how much by the end of your day today. Thanks, and I'm glad you did well today. Happy New Year's, Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sue Watson 1 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 I know I did not give you much when I said go out past everyone else but the way I look at it, when you have about 50 guys surrounding in one little area you have to get away from everyone and you don't have to fight for the same fish. We were in 30 FOW water when we were fishing there yesturday, but I would not advise anyone to venture out that far again until the ice stabilizes and gets stronger. This thaw will definately hurt things in one way but on the other hand the snow will be back off the ice again and when it freezes again it will be makin ice instead of the snow insulating it. Lets all hope for some good cold weather and we will be able to all enjoy it safely again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sue Watson 1 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Tuesday, the day we had the electronics out we were out there with the 7 of us. 6 of us are all from the Staitline Anglers club out of Grimsby. Kim, was the guy with the Aquaview, he had complained about vis as well, but he did see the fish coming in and out. I kicked Roy out of his hut for a while that's where the vexilar was going, it was my first time really putting one to use and its something I would love to work towards purchasing one of my own. Then two of our other guys had the Fisheasy 2. We went back out there again on Thurs. with our one 12 year old son and his buddy, we had no electronics with us then, but we found where we were prior that week and smoked them even better that our first trip. I sure hope things freeze back up real quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sue Watson 1 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Hi Steve If you are asking me if the ice is safe, I would not be able to say yes for sure since I have not been there since before the thaw. All I can tell you is this, if I could I would be out there right now, then again I may be a bit more crazier than alot of these guys I will show you this though go to http://www.icecabins.com he does have promising reports on his 24 hour ice report and on his message board and that is where I have been fishing out of. I do know that you will have to walk, taking machines on the ice I'd say you will loose your machine as well as possibly your life. Be careful out there and let me know how you make out. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
