Good day fellow fisher's!

I was just wondering if anyone on board here ventured out to Shirley's bay this past weekend? If so, I hope you did well and was wondering how much ice you had to work with?

Thanks in advance for any info you can post and good fishing to all fellow Halker's!

I'm gonna go try it this afternoon CClad. I went yesterday to check out the conditions and saw about 10-15 folks out on the bay so I guess its safe. I won't be going out to far though! It'll be the inner bay for me!! :lol: Will post results tonight! :)

I went about 100 feet out and drilled 1 hole it seemed to be about 9 inches. Ice thickness can change very quickly from spot to spot at this time of the year, Ciscoekid.

Was that you at about 3-3:30 with the gas auger near shore? I was the dude about 400m out to the right of the launch.

Just came back from Shirley's Bay. I was setting up my hut on about 9 feet of water and on a rocky bottom. I managed to get 2 small walleye 14 inches and 5 nice perch between 8-10 inches. The bite was between 4 and 5 pm and then in slowed right down, hardly marking on the vexilar after 5pm. I will be heading back tomorow, Ciscoekid.
