Today, Laker John and myself took a ride to the county to scout the water and see what we could see.
First, we visited Hay Bay and saw that the only ice was at the east end up in the shallows at the very end. The rest is wide open.
Picked up the fishing rods and some lures and headed over to Pr. Edward County via the ferry.
No ice left:
Easy to put the boat in, the MNR were trying out their new boat, loaded at the rear with twin Hondas.
Looking west you could see the boat at the cement plant.
Lots of open water, cept Picton Bay still covered from shore to shore.
Took some back roads in the county and took a look at Point Petre and Soup Harbour, cast a lure into the surf, hooked the rocks, lost the lure and got the boots full of Lake Ontario water - hey it's kinda cold!!!
Too windy and the surf too high, so we headed over to the Outlet to see if the ice was gone. East Lake is open and so is the Outlet.
Sandbanks was the stop for lunch and a chance to see how the surf was over there. Same as before, facing the west, the surf was too high. Couldn't cast the lures into the clear water.
Headed back, a bit too early we think.
Heading back from the Ferry to Kingston, we drove the North Channel and had a look, Boat at Lafarge dock and the ice all gone.
Some fishers are wondering about the launch ramp at Bath:
Lots of open water for everyone to launch:
Just have to get the right winds and the fishing there for everyone.
We'll see what next week or the week after brings for our brown and laker search.
Stay Tuned.
