Hi all just wondering if anybody is catching any late walleye through the ice recently. Thames.. Sydenham Maybe?(y)
 
Not me,dawson29.I am still trying to get my first Perch through the Ice on Long Point Bay.:oops: Mind you though, I only fished for 3 hour`s on the Bay last Tuesday Feb.11/14,so it wasn`t really giving it a Fair Go on the Bay that Day. Walleye through the Ice, I haven`t heard anyone Catching a Walleye yet, this year, but I will post if I hear anything. Maybe also try calling some local Tackle Store`s in London & area, like Jack`s Live Bait( Delaware ),@ 519-652-9237 or Lambeth Rod & Tackle @ 519-652-5598 They might be able to give you some information on where to Try. Good Luck!
 
Hey @dawson29 , we fished Thames yesterday (close to the mouth) from dawn till dusk and my buddy put 1 about 3 lbs on the ice around 1 pm that was it for the day ! We try a couple different spots and the bite was slow yesterday but still was a nice sunny day on the ice with a couple buddies for good company !....................apps
 
giller,or other Member`s on stomp`s,would you know that at Prairie Siding if there is still a Bait Shop & Restaurant there right near the Railroad Track`s. Just wondering, I haven`t Ice fished the Thames River there for many year`s, due to the Mild Winter`s that we had the past year`s. Thank`s In Advance.
 
@Red Hering , nearest bait that I know of is in Michelle's Bay , we got ours at the store $4 a dozen or you can go to Dennis @ Bass Haven that's all I know for bait in the area Red ................apps
 
Thank-You @ apps. about the Info about Bait Dealer`s in that area, much appreciated. Also, Good Question, @fish 17 (What end of the Lake?) I was out on Fanshawe Lake Today, and I had no Luck on either Walleye or Perch. I even had Live Minnow`s for Bait. Like I said in one of my previous Post, Fanshawe Lake is Huge & there is lots of water for them to swim in & hide! Good Luck to anyone Fishing this Lake!
 
This has been an excellent year on the Thames down towards Chatham. That said, it's hit and miss. Your either on a school or not. Unless you have good intel or fish them daily it's a never a guarantee.....the GF got the only 2 I saw last Sunday....I managed to lose one and land a sucker:confused:

Work is work no matter what the temps are. I wouldn't be too much of a hurry back, a resort for a few weeks on dry land would be nice.
We're still buried out here on the lakeshore. A home of a customer of my wife burned to the ground on Sutherland St. in Caledonia this week. He was trying to thaw lines with a paint stripper heat gun. Lost 2 pups in the fire. Family safe but the place and everything in it is gone. They never had a frozen line since they have been there. Sad.

No one is catching anything on the Grand, anywhere. They all have lockjaw it seems this year.
