Scugog Ice

Checked out Starr Bay earlier, someone took their snow machine out on the ice. I didn't check the thickness but plan on heading out there tomorrow. Gonna spud my way out and hopefully get into some fish.

crappie

Be very careful , I was checking the ice today and it was decent about 3-4 " and went out a bit and there was just over an inch . The snow really messed it up

Checked today on the east side drilled some test holes 3 to 4 inches white ice though so another 3 to 4 days should be good to go.

Thanks for all the updates. Family going up to the cottage for xmax so planning to do some ice fishing if the ice is safe

Keep in mind we are getting more snow, then rain and + degree days might set things back be safe all!

That's for sure , no way I am going out there yet and I live on lake and check it everyday

Ya all this snow we are getting is definitely going to delay the the ice quality.

first post and I just wanted to say thank you to the people who give the updates on ice and safety conditions. keep up the good work and be safe all. ✌

Went out to Starr Bay again today and it didn't look too good. Was able to chisel my way through after four strikes with the chisel. This snow is not helping!

I am going through with one poke

Johnathan in response to your beginner tips I recommend using a 1/32 jig head with small minnows and most of all wait till the ice is safe.

Just checked and there's over 4 inches, couple inches of good black ice but the top layer was junk white ice. I was breaking through with 5-6 hard hits with my chisel. There were a few guys out fishing though. Too sketchy for me but hopefully soon.

Huh! You actually saw some guys out on the ice already!
I guess they feel a few fish is worth the risk!

Yeah seemed pretty crazy to be out on the ice. I am looking forward to a good crappie fry but I'll stick to halibut house until there is safe ice haha.
