Not sure about the Ottawa up that far but there are certainly Crappies down towards Ottawa.

Re: Wicksteed Lake near Marten River

Big long shallow lake with one 20ft+ hole near the bottom of the lake. Looks like the best access would be from the Marten Lake rd and then at the bend hang a left and go up to the dam where it looks like there's some open area for camping. Google Earth shows the boat launch there as well. Here's th...

Actually there are several inland lakes stocked with Browns.

Re: honda 20 hp issue

I talked to my marine mechanic, he suggested you can test the stator before you buy. Lots of videos on YouTube… multimeter and a couple wires to test. Then you would know if the stator was the issue or something else. Yea I saw some of those too. A basic resistance check on the three coils will sho...

Yep, folks need to be careful near the entrance to the lagoon as well, with current going in that ice gets touch early.

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

- The guy walks all the way across the river from Aylmer to fish there!!! :shock: Given the ice this year and the shoals that are out there, you wouldn't catch me trying that LOL! Cheers CCLad! Same thing happened to us one time. We were out pretty far in strong current one afternoon and we see thi...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Agreed thanks Smitty that was a good read. Going to make the trek out far this weekend if it isn't too cold. Bites came between 520-530 for me. I rarely stay out late enough for ling as I don't have a shack and it sure gets cold out there once the sun sets! I spent by far most of my many many years...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Smitty thanks for the feedback! Lenny I’ll let you know for sure if I’m heading out solo at all! Glad to hear some fish are being caught - and yeah - most importantly let’s hope for a cold snap! No problem Cap.I could never understand why so many folks were leaving the ice right at prime time becau...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Won't be out today, but good luck to any who get out there. I've been out twice before things got wet, fairly typical, half decent bite around sundown =) Question for those night owls - I'm curious if you even have any sustained action after dark? PM me if you'd rather, I've just never fished much ...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

, I've got a feeling ill be trying either straight out from the ramp, or to the left side tomorrow. Does anyone find luck in the shallower water (5'-7'), even if its mostly perch? Curious to know if it's worth trying or if its better to fish the 7'-8' for the time being? Thx CCLad. [/quote] Tim Che...
