Quinte Fishing

,Saturday spent a very cold breezy day close to the bridge. 3 in. white ice.

Saw 2 older gentlemen on a atv go thru the ice close to the bridge. One was under for quite awhile, when his foot was caught up in the machine. Luckily the current had just died temporarily! A bunch of us went over to help them out. Two other fishermen gave up one of their portables to let them warm up in. Another american angler gave up his heater so they had 2 heaters. An ambulance was called later, because we were concerned about the long walk in for the two men. As far as I know everything turned out okay. I don't like to knock people when they're down but *** man... these two gentlemen were locals, that lived just on the other side of the bridge!! They should have known better than to ride a machine out there and even worse... ride double! I was nervous on the ice just walking! The current was so bad, anglers with flashers said they were useless because the lures were so far from the hole.

I caught one 5# eye and saw another 5 caught between 20 or so anglers. There were tons marked but not hitting. Most were on pimples.

Hit Simcoe Sunday, ended up with about 20 perch out from Beaverton. Saw a walleye and whitefish on the aqua vu but couldn't get them to eat.

Stay safe

damn that sucks for those guys! i'm pretty sure everyone was warned not to go out at the bridge..especially on an atv like wow..did there atv sink down?(a guy had said they just float cuz it has enough air in the tires but i think thats kind of impossible).. and if people get there atv's and snowmobiles sunk ..how do they get it out? or do they just leave it there?
nice report!
