Re: Shirley's Bay 2022 Ice season

For me, I like sleeping at that time :D But I have, and some of my fishing buddies have, tried first light at the bay. We all had very little success. That said, not a large number os tries to base the out come on, maybe 4-5 times. In the soft water season, I find the bite to kick in around 9am ish,...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2022 Ice season

Great Fishing man, gotta love action like that! I wondered to myself if the original Covid lock down a couple years ago coupled with the flooding on the Ottawa river before that (2017 and 2019) would have an effect on fish numbers/population a few years later due to the lack of fishing pressure - 2 ...

Re: St. Lawrence big pike?

Give the big weed beds out in Lac St Francis a go great pike action. Of course I'm referring to the soft water season, I have no idea of the ice conditions there... (sinking perch rapalas did the trick every time for us.)

Re: Shirley's Bay 2022 Ice season

So we pulled the hut and headed north... about 1.8 km north towards point with the old observatory (old white building, well past the mouth of the causeway) There is about 15 inches of solid clear, and I mean clear ice. I have never seen the ice at the bay as good as this. The picture doesn't do jus...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2022 Ice season

10.5 inches of clear black ice is music to my ears! If all goes well we should have our hut out there by next weekend! Can't wait to get out there.

Re: Shirley's Bay 2022 Ice season

I went there Tuesday mid-day with kid. Didn't catch a thing but the ice was thick. There was another pop-up shack and three folks out on the ice without shack. Someone from the Lodge was blocking the ramp so I had to pay $10 for parking. He was pretty rude to me and my kid, won't go back there unle...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2022 Ice season

So after lurking through many years of posts on this forum for info on fishing around an area new to me- I was able to hit the hard water for the first time this winter. Decided to drive up to Constance Bay Area and went to buckham bay which seemed more favourable and forgiving for hard water novic...
