St williams parking

[Brandon]

Looking to get out on the ice one more time tomorrow, is there still parking at the top of the hill and if so what road is it located on? Also any points on how the shoreline is holding up?Thanks for info in advance

Top of hill farm field was open yesterday. Parking lot at bottom was closed. Shoreline was good at 6:30 am but slushy by 2 when we came off. Ice now ends at first crack and we were warned to stay away from it. We were about 75yds from it on 8" of good ice. Lots of folks pulling their permanent huts off the ice. You might get away with it tomorrow but Sundays temps are gonna finish it off.

That cornfield parking lot on top is going to look like a world war 1 trench by Sat am. Just be forewarned. Your heading to a carwash afterwards.

Did it re-freeze overnite Red? Was getting pretty sloppy/soupy when I pulled out yesterday.

Yes!! @wetnets88 it should be good for tomorrow!! But!! Beware,there is lots of open water beyond the major pressure crack. I would ice fish where all of the red & blue ice hut’s are now,that were moved closer to shore this afternoon. I am still in Port Rowan at this moment waiting for my chicken dinner at Uncle’s Country Coffee. I will put a post on @stomp later when I get back to the “Big” city!! London lol

Thanks for the reply red!!

I was thinking about heading out tomorrow, but I think I’ll call it a season, I should go cut fire wood , my dad and uncle fished today , perch bit was slow for them , but they caught some decent pike fishing towards the east , I’m pretty sure they are done for the season too

The guy who collected the $5 to park said today was the last day he would be open as it would be to muddy.

Your welcome @wetnets88 & thanks buddy about loving my post’s,and it was a great pleasure meeting you on February 15/22,off Collins Harbour while ice fishing. Maybe we will meet up again on long point bay during the soft water season fishing for perch & pike,etc. I will be thames river walleye fishing tomorrow,before the rain comes this Sunday & likely flooding out the thames river into a big mess!! You know how to reach me & tight lines & Fish ON!!
