Once again we had an awful ice fishing season on Lake St Clair and Rondeau Bay. It was shaping up to be a great season in the fall but winter weather went north for us here in the banana belt.
Managed a 3 day trip to Simcoe but that was it for me. Put the gear away today hoping for a better winter next year :ashamed:
I didn’t even get my ice fishing stuff out of the garage....crappy year for sure...spent my time coyote hunting.Quote:

We're pretty close to full auger here albeit not an inch of good clear ice. 28" of white ice with a good foot of slush on top. One thing I have noticed is a lot more large air holes this year.
On the bright side ice out should happen fast, that soft ice will go fast.

Still another month or better of ice .
Here on simcoe will have ice on the whittie closer . Then the perch fishing should be good for at least another week after that. I cant see April ice on simcoe for sure even if it does get cold in a few weeks. Then it's to head north for some April whitties [emoji106].
You should take 1 more simcoe trip the best is yet to come. The yellow belly's should be on fire in 3 weeks
