We cancelled our trip to Quinte for Jan 19-22 do to the crappy weather and ice this past weekend so we thought we would relocate to Simcoe, just cancelled that one today............man this weather friggin sucks!!

I was out of beaverton on simcoe yesterday and didn't see any less than 10" of ice, and that was 5km out. In closer there was more like 14"...I didn't measure, but its not going anywhere any time soon. Perchin was great too.

The report we got was much different than yours but I still believe there is good ice, I wanted to go but my partners wanted to wait for colder weather. Thank for the report

Unfortunately agree with a lot of the posts on here.
Used to post sub frequently on sites, too many people want easy street, looking at the backgrounds of pictures etc.
More people... less fish eventually. Call it what you want... selfish, not willing to help, whatever.
I call it tight lipped, just like the present bite on Quinte. lol
I have spudded my way out there and around some punky ice, only to see people see us out there and walk straight out without checking... stupidity, and I am not on hook for it. Pun intended!
Do your own work, isn't that what makes it fun!
The other thing is, when you are back at the truck talk to people, I have created a network of people that I can rely on for current updates of conditions. But the last thing I'm going to do is post ice conditions, "no ice is safe ice". No truer the saying for Quinte... 5" here and 1" 5 feet away.

Go on and say it... 2008 and 40 posts .. lol

If someone wants to take ice conditions off a message board without doing any of their own due diligence and just walk out, or just walk out because they see someone out there then the world is probably a better place without that tard!

Its kind of nice for those of us with two kids under 2 who probably only have enough time for 1-2 outingsin a winter to somewhat plan an outing if someone has posed ice conditions.

i always send my 5 year old out first with his life jacket and walk to where I want to fish... He's much lighter than I am so much less chance of him falling through...its tough to watch sometimes when he keeps tripping over the 100 foot rope I tie to his leg but if he goes through I want to make sure i'm ready to pull him out.... This tactic has worked the past few years with almost 0 hiccups lately anyway...
Cant be too careful on that sketchy Shermans point ice.....

I agree. That is all most of us are looking for, not a guarantee. Just a statement like "We were out on_____ and found the ice to be ___." That way we know if it is worth even going up, as many of us have to drive a fair distance.
