Quinte Fishing

Hi guys. Wondering how things look now around the air force base. Want to start coming up next sat but hate to drive 3-4 hours for no reason.. Would much appreciate some help with ice conditions
Thanks !

I’d read the other posts that speak of ice conditions. Either way, the conditions will change by next weekend. It’s supposed to get cold so I’m sure it’ll build ice. Currently it sounds very inconsistent and patchy. There was a boat trolling on the Trent river in Trenton today.

I kind of figured it would still be sketchy there … thanks for the info tho suppose we see what the week brings !

Last weekend when I was on the ice I would not have considered the middle channel safe across from airforce base as I was only measuring 4-5 inches closer to the south shore where there is less current that in the middle. I typically will see a 2 inch loss in ice from the place I fished in comparison to the middle channel. With that said I would expect that if the weather plays out as it is current forecasted that it "should" be safe in the channel by next Saturday. Either way bring a spud and all other safety gear for good measure and you should be good to go.

We are reluctant to post this info, simply becuz of weather/ice conditions up to now (Jan7th 4pm).

Having said that, coming back across Bay Bridge to The County, we were stunned to count almost ten individual Folks on the ice about 500 yds West of the Bridge - including some small structures.

We would NOT be one of them at this point, but who knows by the weekend.

Ya .. had a bad experience by the bridge years ago … thin thin wont go back there
we decided to give it an extra week and wait until next sat to try it out … again if anyone has any ice input for anytime during this week id much appreciate it
thanks guys and safe fishing !
