Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

I might head down to the bay this weekend and punch a few holes. If I make it I'll be sure to post. Anyone gets there first, let us all know :)

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Thanks for mentioning! Although I highly doubt that anyone posting on this thread has anything to do with the littering, I couldn't agree more. We end up with our hut a ways out on the bay and it seems like we have to stop at least once on the commute to pick up someone's trash. The worlds not your ...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

For weather I always use Accuweather. I find it to be a very reliable source. Looking at the long term temp forecast, I'll stick with what I said before and I'll go Jan 14th earliest, Jan. 21 latest to set up the hut. Hopefully we don't gat a dump of snow to delay things...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Hey Smitty. Have you recently seen what the ice conditions are at the bay? It would be great if there is no snow cover!

Merry Christmas fellow Hawkers!

Merry Christmas folk's! Who got what when it comes to hard water fishing? If you feel like sharing, post it :)

I am pretty much fully geared for what I do on the ice. My daughter got me a tall boy sized can crusher to put up in the hut! Gone are the days of giant bags of empties :lol:

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Thanks for posting Jimmy. Looking at the long range forecast I'll guess it will be good for huts some where around the 2nd week of Jan.

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Thx Smitty, good to hear from you again. If the river is frozen this snow dump will certainly slow things down. Oh well, it will be ready when its ready...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Thanks FP, much appreciated, let me know if the boulders haven't been moved and I'll contact the NCC. As for the ice being ready its been pretty consistent. 3 yrs ago we set up on Jan 4, 2 yrs ago Jan 3 and last season not until Jan 22 but we were not ready to set up when the ice was ready. I'll wag...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

We had a short season last year (hut was out for less than a month) but without a doubt, the best ice season we have had! I used to work in North Kanata so it was easy to pop by and check stuff out. Depending on if we get a reply or not, I'll try and stop by next weekend.
Cheer's.

Shirley's Bay 2023 Ice season

Hi folks, just posting another thread for the bay. It's been very useful with all of the input from everyone on here. Of course I realize that this is early to start the conversation regarding the hard ice season, I was just wondering if anyone has been down to the bay recently and can confirm if th...

Re: First ice fishing hut

Hi Bigcvin. I would recommend that you build skies into the floor structure. Our's are made from 10x2's. Much easier to move the hut around and all u have to do to prevent your hut from freezing into the ice is jack it up and put 4 - 2 foot pieces of 2x4 under the skies at each corner. We actually u...
