Quinte Fishing

Out at Huff's today. Fish bit all afternoon. 7 hits, lost 4 landed 3. First one at 2:00 last one at 5:00.

The ice is really hit and miss. Where there's no snow 6 to 8 inches. Where's there's snow 2 inches or less.

There were lots of guy's out and because of that, people were assuming it was all safe ice. Stopped two guys heading onto very little ice.

Two whacks and through. Some snowmobiles driving right over it. There was one large wet spot that only had a skim of ice.

You could see where people had gone out, spudded a hole and retreated. Some guy's were just walking past that without realizing the risk and not checking.

Avoid the snow and use a spud if your not sure.

Picked up a bunch of garbage on the ice and road. Food wrappers and coffee cups. Please take your garbage home.

Thank you very much for the detailed report. I am hoping to make it to the Huff/ Sherman's area Monday-Tuesday will post my findings.

Thank for posting that and for picking up the garbage.

Also picked up some garbage right beside the driveway of the last house...won't be long till that owner convinces the park lot owner to shut it down if that keeps up. No fish...

I'm also concerned about losing the parking. If that's gone, Huff's is done.

I always park in the field and pay the $5.00 hoping it'll encourage the owner to keep it going.

They might be a little more tolerant of garbage (which there shouldn't be any) if they're making some money.

Fished huffs on Dec 29
Lots if snow and slush on the ice
Made for a tough/wet walk
Sat on about 22 fow from 230 till just after dark
This is trip 3 this season to huffs and have only iced one @26" so far so we tried a different method hoping for it to pay off
Fish didn't seem very active when we first got there we didn't mark or catch much but perch for the first hour we managed to get a couple marks to hit and iced 3 eyes total all eater size
We had a handful of other marks that were interested but didn't commit
We tried downsizing and even just minnows heads but still no interest

I will agree with everyone else on this forum BE CAREFUL AND CHECK THE ICE
although it was staying below -15 steady it was not making ice with the snow on top
Only 4" were we sat
Talked to two lads on the way off the ice they sat 25fow no fish and only heard of one caught around them
