Oro Shore Report-Jan 24th, None of it is Safe-STAY OFF

[sdcaller]

Took a drive around Noon today and checked at the 2nd, 6th and 9th or Oro-Medonte.

At the 2nd, someone had been out about 50ft and spudded a hole and came back in. I walked out 10ft and didn't like the sounds coming from the ice.

At the 6th, no one had been out and there was a big wet spot about 100ft from shore. Obviously a crack and water coming up.

At the 9th, someone had spudded hole about 10ft from shore and another about 50ft. I walked out about 10ft and once again didn't like the sounds coming from the ice.

AT THIS TIME, THE ICE DOES NOT SEEM SAFE--SO STAY OFF!!!!

Thanks Ralph, great report and I agree, the ice is not safe and won't be for a while.

Hello, I am from toronto and a brand new member to this board and looking forward to sharing and receiving info with everyone. Sdcaller your effort is truly appreciated to give us a nice picture report on the various oro lines where the real fish of simcoe are(no offense , i do like perch as well lol )

Thanks again for the nice report

I think by next weekend we're good to go.

Cheers

Thanks for the great pics and report. I have faith, it will be safe one day, just not yet.

SD . Awesome report !


K-Bay might be ready but defantly not anything past the third line ...


Sad to say it may be a repeat of last year fishing the deeper waters . Hoefully some people will have more brains and stay off it espically in Nw wind blowing over 25Km.


Lots of currents out that way past the third line ...


Stay Safe .

As all post above SD, thanks for great report.

When I checked the ice yesterday, I had selfish reasons==I was hoping that I might have been able to fish at the 2nd of Oro today.

Based on what I saw and as the ice seems to be developing slowly, I suspect it will probably be sometime next week before there is the "walking" minimum of 4 inches. It is supposed to snow today, so that "insulation" will slow development even more.

I won't be near the ice again this weekend-got some fiddling and square dancing to do, so maybe someone else can keep an eye on things over the weekend.

Thanks ralph......

I was keeping finger crossed, but that information will make me change my plans for sure.

I can wait, I think

Guess I will look further north as the itch to go has bitten me hard.
