What ice fishing trips do you have planned this season. I have two trips to Nip. One in Feb for our annual guy's trip with my boys, brother and friends and another with Species mid-March, other than that, fishing my home spots, Lake St Clair and Rondeau Bay
Looking forward to our trip in March. Cottage is ready - just finished winterizing it on Sunday. Think i have managed to finally get ahead of the mice this fall as well. Worst fall ever in my memory for those little invaders. I caught over 70 since labour day. Last round though was pretty light only 2 mice in 26 traps after 14 days.
Planning to hit Nip half a dozen times if i can manage it. Maybe the odd back lake. Thinking if conditions permit maybe try Abitibi second or third week of December. Than after Nip closes try an April trip to Abitibi.
Man, that's a heck of a trap line you have set up for those little critters. I have also experienced more mice in my basement than in past years.
Thinking that's a sign of a cold winter on its way?
Mostly local trout fishing trips probably go to Simcoe and the Kawarthas to
Good luck
I'm looking to do an overnight on Simcoe for some perch with a couple buddies this season. Other than that just getting out a lot more with the lady, she seem's pumped enough for the season
Lake of Bays for me for lakers and white fish
Simcoe Simcoe and some more Simcoe lol.
Hopefully some good ice by Jan 1 2023 for a nice fresh whitefish dinner mmm yum yum lol.
We could probably see another change as I noticed some changes last season let's see if that pattern persist. Fish in different areas what what hot for year's slowing down and switching back to perch or vise versa.

Got the sled out tonight for a once over and short ride. Everything checked out good. Just waiting on ice now.

So shelter and sled have both passed inspection. Just need to give the tackle a once over now.
Hopefully another week or two I’ll be out for trout. I’m looking forward to quinte for eyes and just lots of day trips in the kawarthas/Bancroft area.
I’m going to try to ice camp while targeting jumbo perch. If I get things down pat, I’ll venture a little further away for walleye. Good luck to all!
Sounds like fun Sam, can't wait for your report
I cannot wait to get on the ice this year. I'll be heading on the Ottawa River and the South Nation River with my son for perch, pike and walleye end of December once ice is safe. Hoping to get some brookies on the Quebec side too.
Whitefish are my target species this year. Simcoe, Temagami and possibly renting a cottage in Bancroft. My goal is to put a good effort into finding whitefish in my home lake in the Kawarthas.
Hey All
What no ice reports yet...lol
It's started to freeze on parts of simcoe but then the storm came along and destroyed any progress. Vb was frozen across for 2 days but that is now open water again.Quote:

If all goes well there could be ice between the holidays. Fingers crossed.

on the facebook group, somebody on Mississippi lake already put a perm shack out.
3 to 5 inches on Nip. People skating in some areas.
That's encouraging:thumbup:
One of my friends is all wound up for a trip to Picton….has tentatively booked for Jan28….anybody know the area and is that a bit early for the Bay of Quinte ?
Sturgeon Lake is now frozen over by Long Beach. Can't comment on safety of ice but at least it's frozen. As of yesterday, Head Lake in Haliburton has 6.5" of ice ten feet off my buddy's dock. Some small lake north of Haliburton already have huts out.

There was 4 day huts out on the ice on Scugog this morning out from the town docks... Haven't heard how much ice there is but if you do venture out be safe and check the ice as you go...
Port bolster this morning there is almost 100% chance it won't last this warm spell. Maybe the third time will a charm when we get back into some cooler temperatures.
Saw a few people fishing south in cooks Bay and 1 in vb yesterday but again I think that may all go aswell. We got 4 or 5 days with above freezing an some rain coming.
This ice is not safe. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c063698882.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e507876f58.jpg

Went out half way on a local decent sized lake. 8 inches of ice but only 5 inches of black stuff. This warm spell may make it messy
