Launched out of deseronto with the hope of getting on to a jig bite. Minnows, jigging spoons and hot coffee on hand we headed up the reach towards Thompson's point. It was cold with air temp at -5. As we neared Huff's I noticed the water looked different then as we got closer I realized it was different because it was frozen.

Just a skimming but it was frozen right across and quite a large area.

Finally made it through to open water and started jigging at Thompson's. Marked quite a few on bottom but the fish weren't in the mood. There were a bunch of boats out both jigging and trolling and I didn't see anyone land anything. Ended up catching 3 eyes with the biggest about 3 lbs and the smallest about the same size as a Cuban cigar. Pulled the plug about 1:00 and headed back. The ice at Huff's was all gone. Hopefully the cold weather comes and stays so that we can be celebrating the holidays fishing on the hardwater

I love it at this time of year, just wishing I had the time to go.

Thanks for the report and pictures. I'm not pleased to see that Ice forming so early. It supposed to be really cold this week. I'm hoping to get out in the boat a couple more times before the Bay freezes up. We will see what Mother nature decides.

Cheers, Kevin

Just to add a couple more details. Water temp at Thompson's was 38 and at Huff's in the afternoon on our way back we made a brief stop and it was 36 there

Thanks for the info, were heading there in the morning for 3 days, 6 guys.
It's our luck to pick the coldest days, lets hope the BIG girls will come out to play.
