Re: Shirley's Bay 2025 Ice season

Made it out for 1 last hard water fish. Met up with our buddies from the east end. Made it out to the spot, punched holes all the way out we wanted to target, took a sled and 4 wheeler. Punched holes all the way out. There was about 1' 6" of decent ice but it was much degraded and showing signs...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2025 Ice season

Thx Lenny, just an fyi, there's still good fishing going on now. Went out on Tues, we only got 4 and a perch but 2 were closer to 4lbs than 3. Allot of the big females will be feeding heavy now to get ready for the spawn....... It was a little sloppy on the surface (and will get worse) so wear water...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2025 Ice season

Well it was quite "different" year so to speak..... Best ice conditions that I can recall for many years and we didn't get allot of fishing in. The season started with early, thick, clear great ice. Couldn't move the hut around (we use a sled to pull it) as there was no snow. Couldn't get ...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2025 Ice season

Was out yesterday to jack up the hut as it was in a puddle. It was a mess! 10 to 12 inches of snow in places with about 3 inches of water under it. Going to revisit the ice sat to check it out after a couple nights of cold temps. Ill post what I find, hopefully it freezes up!

Re: Shirley's Bay 2025 Ice season

Response from the NCC regarding the launch/access point: "Teams should be out early this week to remove the snow hopefully I will keep you updated once I know a firm date. Sorry for the wait and thanks for your patience". NCC certainly have been understanding, accommodating and willing to ...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2025 Ice season

Spoke with the NCC they are going to send a crew in to clear the launch and the 2 access points on either side of it. Can't for the life of me figure out how/why someone would think its a good idea to plow the launch piling the snow up where the access is... Any who... Hope fully they clear it up so...

Re: Shirley's Bay 2025 Ice season

Just a suggestion, if you have a permanent hut/trailer on the bay, you might want to consider pulling it in close to the shore. Large snow fall coming tonight and another foot expected on sat/sun...
