When is it going to get cold? Im sitting here contemplating a 6-8 hr drive north somewhere so i can drill a hole, fire up the flasher and enjoy some ice fishing. Or might go the other way and pull the boat out of her winter sleep and head to the lake. One way or another I need a fix

Lol ive had the boat out twice over past few days ,, nothing to show but perch but it was nice to get out,. Seems like the ice fishing seasons are getting worse by the year ..theres a large ice fishing tourny on manitoulin island every year and this year isnt looking good ,, wide open water thats ussually 2ft thick by now

IMO its very cyclical, good years of ice making and bad years.
Look at it this way, a lot less fish being harvested, and a lot of hungry fish once we can get on the ice.
I am sure we are all waiting patiently.

Going to Lake Nippising next week, going to try and get a few walleye on the hook. Hope by the end of Jan for Huffs point, maybe..

I think I'll load up the side x side and head north. Somewhere around Bancroft should have some safe ice. Maybe try a few lakes for a few different species.

I picked a bad year to buy a new ice fishing quad

if the ice goes back another couple feet by the bridge, i will be putting the boat in !

If you just want to soak some minnows, there is eight inches plus on the west side of Hwy 62 on Moira Lake. Could hardly believe it but saw a small car drive out to a hut on Sunday.

I get my fix on saturday morning with cup of coffee and watching fishing show from the comfort of my couch for time being.
