Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Met some really great dudes today, they put us on the fish. Turned a potential skunk day into a 14 fish day (2 walleye, 5 sauger, 7 perch). Hoping to get back out there next year with them!! ; ) Was a pleasure meeting you guys! What a great day, I should have put on some sunblock on my face though ...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Hey Steveielad, the fishing has been fair to decent. Wed was a little slow but we got 4. No reason not to get out fishing! That said keep in mind there's a slot size for the Ottawa river that started Mar. 1st... @ Smitty, the snow was plowed off to the side a bit, the launch wasn't completely blocke...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Hey folk's, if anyone see's a 10" auger blade cap out on the ice please grab it and let me know. Came off on the way back in last night. Thx Tim. & on a side note, I emailed the NCC asking them to remove the pile of snow they plowed from the parking lot onto the boat launch. Hopefully the d...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Hi FM89, Yes that is our hut out there. We moved in a little closer to the shore to get into about 10 feet of water and had a good eve sat. We were a little too deep with the 2 previous moves. (Didnt bother punching holes to check the depth, just kinda eyeballed it...) Ended up with 11 walleye, 4 de...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Well we moved the hut a long ways out. We are on about 14" of ice. 6 white 8 clear. I wouldn't recommend a car or truck traveling out that far. That said, the fishing this past weekend was not worth the trek to get out there. Looking back to the best I can recall, I have never done well at Shir...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

We have our hut out on the ice just not "out" where the good fishing is :)

If anyone on here is out on the ice in the next couple of days and can post a thickness report it would be appreciated.
Thank's,
CCLad.

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Starting to look like we wont be able to move the hut out at all this season. Very disappointing, last season the fishing out there was lights out. Best we ever had. Oh those fish Gods giveth and taketh away!

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Some where around 300 yards or so out 9-10 feet of water. The ice is fine, picture isnt great, theres almost 10". I certainly would not be driving a car on it, although I've seen several vehicles out there. I'm getting concerned we wont be able to move the hut out to the better fishing grounds....

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

We went out sun and moved the hut . Theres about 3-4 inches of white ice with around 5 clear underneath. Better than it was... Not sure if I am going to be able to move the hut way out this year. That sucks, kinda like the fishing thus far lol.

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

We set the hut up out to the right of the lanch in about 9 feet of water. There is about 8" of ice, inch and a half of clear on the bottom with 6 and a half white ice. There was also about 3 inches of water on the top. Ended up with 3 perch like the ones above and 1 small walleye.

We are setting up tomorrow and will be using sleds to pull the hut out. I'll post my findings.

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

" Ice quickly went from 7" to about 3.5-4" where I was"

Re: Spring walleye trip 2023

10 mile lodge in que is a good spot. Lots of walleye, pike generally good fishing. Not to far geographically from Ottawa (cross at the swisha dam hour 45 or so west of Ottawa) but the drive in and out is slow and bumpy (3 -4 hours to go about 90km). Rates are good, boats are supplied, 16 foot alumin...
