We fished Wed all day and nobody in any of Jimmy's huts had a keeper. His hut were in 38-42 inches of water close to shore. I hit bottom with my hand auger. Did he move them?

 

[Bay_Fishing]

Huts been in the same spot for over a week now . no bites yet . jigging and dead sticking.

 

[Bay_Fishing]

Murkey water also

 

[Bay_Fishing]

Thanks @Wave Runner

 

[skinnej]

That's weird, he told us that they brought them in Tuesday night?
Good Luck, please post some pics.
We were in hut #5.

 

[Bay_Fishing]

@skinnej Could have but there. Still to the south of old cut like last weekend

disappointing if they are only in 3ft of water.
don’t even want to go to my appointment tomorrow if that’s the case.
no ice out in 6-8ft of water? Or what would the reason be for this?

 

[skinnej]

Not sure, he did point at someone going out deeper on their quad, saying that he is taking a big risk.
I've used Jimmy before and we have always been out in 6-8 feet.

Kids are just happy to be out here thats all that matters to me

 

[skinnej]

I know that there were 2 guys in the hut in front of us screaming mad. They were angry about the shallow water and left around 1030ish.
The water was murky and I'm sure fish come into the shallows to feed. They just didn't come in on Wed.

 

[skinnej]

Your right, I was happy to be with my son and he wasn't playing video games.
good Luck!!

@Bay_Fishing makes sense and I agree with you.
I on the other hand am not going to keep kids busy..
I don’t wanna complain too much until
I go but maybe this should be communicated to people when booking the huts.
Folks paying good money for a fishing charter expect to get somewhere near where the game is being played..
I’ve been out in 6-8ft few years ago and didn’t catch much either. Obviously it’s fishing... buuuut $200 to get placed over 3ft of water just going to piss me off.

Was out there last Saturday. Walked way past his huts, imo they are way too shallow.

His huts are over kind of in front of the provincial park launch , February 5th most of the ice on that side of the bay washed out , his huts are still on old safe ice , but it can be good fishing in that area especially as it gets later in the season, I’d be sure to have a pole setup for pike if headed over there

Tough call for the hut operator. Sounds like he is playing safe so no one goes through the ice

Exactly @DST His insurance must be “sky high” to cover his customers that he takes out and back to his ice hut’s!! As the saying goes,”Safety Always First!!”
