Re: Bottle Lake, Kawartha Highlands P.P.

Hi there, sorry I am not familiar with the lake you are talking about. One thing you can do is consult a topographical map of that area. It will give you the elevation in the parking area and at the end of the hike...
Good luck.

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Hey Lenny you are right. The quality and size of the walleye has certainly improved dramatically over the past decade. Not just the lack for of pressure from this ice season (not too many out last year either) but going back years the Ottawa river flooded twice and was closed both times in the sprin...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Well folks, that's it that's all! Hut is put away for the year, so here's a bit of a summary... A little scare putting it away this year as we were a long ways out and went to pull it off on Sun but couldn't. The river was like a skating rink and the sled didn't have the traction to pull the hut off...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Looking at the weather forecast for the next couple of weeks, I think we are going to have to pull the hut off for the season on Sunday! :shock: After this weekend the are calling for + temps pretty much every day for 2 weeks. Ice will be done. Use good judgment out there guys! Mar Forecast.jpg

Hi Wally, this is what I am referring to with respect to using a double punched hole for jigging:

My son pulled one up that was around 5 - 6 lbs. she made it onto the ice but managed to work her way back down the whole so no pic... ...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Looks like the temps are going to great for making ice the next several days. Not sure when we will make it back out but I will post ice reports when I do. Anyone beats me to share the findings1 I want to get back OUT there!

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Yes and no Smitty. We are past the mouth of the causeway but are set up in around 9 feet of water, around 300 yards off shore. There is current where we are, but it's not moving as much as it would be, if we moved out a little further to the north/east. Not going to play that game as we are set up o...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

We managed to get the hut out to where we are looking to fish last weekend but had a pretty slow day anyways. Ended up with 3 walleye and a couple perch. 1 eye was probably a little over 3lbs though, nice fish. She went back into the river, belly looked like it was full of roe. Talking with a couple...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Hey Lenny, I'm guessing the hut you were referring to is ours (in the direction of the causeway - only set up there because we got stuck in a pile of slush and a foot of water towing it out) If you see us at the hut stop by and say hi - We socialize up until fishing time sets in then its business :D...
