Looking at the two week forecast, I'd say the chances of us getting out on the ice are dwindling down to zero.
The bay should be full of perch for the spring boat season, though!
Was up at Simcoe yesterday, busy, and all the activity made the larger perch skittish. We did take 12 decent ones (10-11 1/2") home, and, released a 6-7 lb pike.

I read something online this morning, it said after the next 10 days, we should expect a cold snap and more normal temps for February. Hopefully the article is right and we can get out locally, even if only for a couple weeks!
I heard there has been people fishing from the ice at Waterford ponds recently too.

These guys were practicing ice rescues on the lake here in Tillsonburg and the were falling through pretty easy it was hard to tell from shore but it didn't look more than a inch or 2 were they were falling through .One thing I noticed that I would have never thought of is when these guys went through knowing they were going to ,many of them would have knocked silly from hitting their heads on the ice as they went down it was a good thing they had helmuts

Oh I am not crazy enough to go out on the ponds! I was just saying I had heard there were some guys out. I dont think it was any of the ponds along the road either. But after today, you would be crazy to go out on any ice! I was in Port Rowan this morning, I would say 75% of the bay is now open water. The only ice I saw was in the marina and in front of booths harbour extending to the TP marsh.

SRT8,
I bet that was pretty interesting to watch these guys doing something that the normal individual would think to be insane! I've watched a few shows how people get up and out of the ice, and while it may look easy, I'm sure it's tough when put into that situation for the first time. While I've been ice fishing several times, I'm still very leery of going out. Definitely be waiting until the soft water is here to stay.
Thanks for the pics.

odds 50:1 against for Long Point. Did Cooks Bay last Sunday and caught lots of small perch with 7-8 inches of ice. Ice reports today there are not as good as some softening and new cracks forming with water on ice. Really miss Long Point ice fishing with excellent service from Rotten Ronnies Steph and Jimmy.

Hi Dickie. Just looked at the webcam web site overlooking Booths Harbour sure confirms what you posted. Oh well, we went up to Lake Simcoe two weeks ago and had a good time ice fishing. Modest catch of perch. Still miss seeing those colorfull ice huts the guys put out on the lake, hopefully next winter. Huron.
