Bay of quinte

Has anyone been out in the quinte area the last couple days? Anyone having much luck? Haven't been to potters yet but would like to know how safe it Is

Member there as well. Not much communication between anglers it seems

Yeah no one wants to say how the ice is because they want to keep people away. Potters is crowed and tough fishing but lots of ice.
Big bay has decent ice but also tough fishing with most people finding just perch. I have heard of a couple guys getting nice fish in big bay however but they are few and far between. Huffs had around 3" 2 days ago so should have at least 4 inches by tomorrow but of course be careful and spud your way out there.

Ice is typical quinte. 8 inches here, 2 inches a few feet over.

I don't like to share ice info, nothing to do with " my spot " but ice changes so much and don't want to say go fish here then tomorrow it's only 2 inches of ice and someone gets in trouble and goes through.

I can understand that! Be nice if the forums were just more active overall

And just be careful. Saw a post on another forum about Sherman's. I was there today and on 3 inches of ice but guys report on forums that it was 8 inches.

That's too bad! Part of what makes it More safe and fun is having more people in the area. I know some people just don't respect "fishing space" and there really is no excuse for it but ice fishing has a lot of limits as it is. Weather, work, everyday life, finding someone with the same free time to fish etc

Agreed - guys were also very critical of others (generally baseless pointless criticisms) in my opinion. I rarely go on that website anymore.
