scugog, ice

Just packing the truck up to head to camp to work on the icehut. I'll do my best to take pics again. Talk soon gang.

Thanks for all the Skugog reports you have been posting Dan-o. I am sure the members are appreciative

Looking to downtown Port.

Looking north from Port.

Looks like there's a bit of a warmup but by thursday the highs are suppose to be back in the negatives, hopefully it freezes up good by january.

This warm spell should melt off the snow and by the end of the week temps will be back down, hopefully it'll be good before New Years

All set and ready to go! Just waiting for the ice to cooperate!
Last year was the best yet for the crappies!
My buddies and I limit out each time we were there!

Last year on a typical day!

Ya I heard last year was good, it's too bad I was only able to get out once last year and I didn't go to a very good spot. It might not even be safe by new years... how thick was the ice on new years last year? 2 feet?

We were out around this time last year and the ice was about a foot thick.
I'm hoping for a repeat of last year! As long as the ice is about 1/2 foot thick, I'm in!
I'm gonna check for next weekend. I hope it will be safe enough to venture out.

Looking east to the river in/out of the lake off the east side of the island.

looks slushy

There was a bit of slush. The open water you see there was only a foot wide when we got up there and this is what it looked like 5 hours after.

If thing keep going the way they are, we might still be out of luck for next weekend!
Thanks for the pics Dan-o as this might make people think twice before heading up!
This could be a life-saver!

Yeah, I think christmas at the very earliest but it probably won't be safe till new years
