Listen to GBDrifter and play it safe.
If possible, wear a floatation suit and have your ice picks on you.

Good luck out there. You guys are lucky to have so many smaller lakes to access.

I've used one for years and it works great. Doesn't like the real cold days, but I keep it in an insolated luch bag which seems to help. Also made up a arm for the transducer which sits over the hole and keeps the transducer pointing straight . Have fun but be careful.

Ice fishing eh?
Don't shoot me. I'm just a messenger. The weather forecast for the next 2 weeks is not looking good at all around Simcoe. I am looking to to head further north in the third week of January for lakers. Mother nature is not co-operating...

I was just out on Couchiching today and cleaned up with a big load of jumbo perch. The ice is decent and fishing was good! I went out from Airport Rd and had great luck in about 24FOW.....if that helps you at all.

best of luck,
John

So Sturgeon Bay it is. Here I come Wednesday. Damned I went to work but keep on thinking ice fishing. Hope to to you there. I know further north the lakes are all frozen but here closer to home (Simcoe) the ice is way too thin..
