Hello,

For those who have been going out where are you finding whitefish mostly? From the east side, I know Brechin access where people are catching some and it gets busy as well. I did not hear much from the west side, I know Moons beach and Baywood park have had some action.

Most importantly, how's the ice on the west side around Moon's beach area?

I hope they are shallow (<50 FOW) by now.

Thanks.

It was generally slow last last weekend for me. I marked fish, but they were not interested in eating.

I also have the attention span of a squirrel... so after an hour of looking at inactive marks, I left and hit some perch. (They were hungry! LOL)

Thank for getting back!
How was the ice thickness there? (assuming you are referring to moon's beach point)

Cheers

There was a good 10-12" of ice with snow on top. There was a bit of slush forming, but hopefully with these colder nights things will tighten up again.

Thank you! I was worried when I heard a pressure crack opening up 11th at Oro.

I am taking the wife tomorrow for her first time - hopefully, we will land one at the least.

Thank you!
