Just to chime in a bit : Was out at aikens today (next stop is potters few km up), run off was pretty bad draining into old ice holes that were made last week. the small bay beside the treatment plant was open 10 ft from shore meaning we have lost a few inches over the past couple days , the fella i was fishing with brought his quad, needless to say i wouldnt get on it, i still walked out with cleats and a spud.. i ended up sitting on 6" of ice. measured 9" on friday same spot as i fish a permanent hut .. we need a cold snap badly or this hard water season is going to come up short. There is plenty of places to fish within 100 - 200yards of shore with safe "Walking" ice conditions. I didnt say "driving" conditions..
Be sure to check your own ice!!! As peoples comfort zone may vary. Im not a professional by any means, i just enjoy returning home alive more then i do catching pickeral.. (even though its a close draw)
We would all hate to see more headlines in "quinte news"
