Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Hey Smitty, thx for the message. Funny you bring that spot up. I used to put up a tent and camp on haycock island when I was a MUCH younger guy lol. We would fish the "greenside" for gars and fish of the point you are talking about on the other side... Good times and great memory's!

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? [/quote] I would recommend y...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

My hut buddy made it down to the bay today. I am a little surprised to see that the river is frozen all the way across, but with that said, the ice is further ahead than what I thought! I can see by the picture that the boulders in the launch have been moved again by the NCC you can see tire tracks ...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

No I have not. When I spoke to them last year they said that it was now a part of the annual maintenance contract for the parking lot. can anyone verify if the boulders have been moved? For those of you who dont know what we are talking about - There is a couple rows of large boulders that make up t...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

I always get a good chuckle from this one [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnTBkICWIO8[/youtube] Hey Smitty, hope you are doing well! Maybe that video clip can explain the number of rods we've lost in the hut - (getting pulled down the hole before you could put a finger on it) over the year...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Are there any crappie or bluegills on Shirley's or Constance Bays? I'm looking for a spot other than Petrie - too many people there keeping every single thing they catch - drives me nuts and doesn't help the fishery. Hard to teach the grandkids to respect the resource when you see guys tossing 2&qu...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Hey Mav, glad you are getting the shake back out there! Looking at the long range forecast on accuweather, it will be tight to get the hut out on the ice by the weekend of the 20th. Night time lows are looking ok but the day time temps certainly won't speed thing's up! &&& Definitely don...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2024 Ice season

Looking at the extended forecast, going to be warm pretty much all next week. Things look to chill out getting into Jan. I was hoping to be out (set the hut up) on the weekend of Jan 13 but it looks like the 20th again this year... Crappy!

Hi all! Just logged in to start this thread for the season again and press - a - daisy, here it is lol. Hope everyone had a good summer.
