Oro Shore Report-Feb. 28, 2024, Lines 7 to 9--Open Water

Just saw a video on a Facebook page for Oro-Medonte.

Ice has broken up with the wind and there is a large stretch of open water between
lines 7 & 9.

I'm not surprised the way the ice looked when I reported it on Feb.24.

Yes no surprise as I saw a lot of fractured ice on the East side yesterday and it would not take all that much to break it up with a good wind and we certainly had that today.

I think we are done.

Thanks for the report Ralph.

Yes wind was howling here last night in the GTA and I assumed it was worse up off Gbay and Simcoe. Any thinner "weaker" ice probably took a beating.

I will not be ice fishing this season.

Cheers!

down south here there been 1 week of winter, so there was a little ice for fishing for maybe 3 days in close. Tuesdays temp was 21C and fare number of guys golfing on local course. I will be getting boat ready anytime now. I'd be out now, but most of the walleye caught now are big sows full of eggs. the guys I know that have put their boats in are getting them. I believe the guys from shore along the rivers are getting them as well as there are a lot of vehicles parked along the roads. Buddy wanted me to come up and fish Simcoe this week but I said no thanks.

Stay safe guys

Hi Sabmgb. Is this your neck of woods you are talking about, our the rock city river? down there it looks quite muddy

Thames river is where I seen all the vehicles parked, not often the water is clean and low before the ban goes on. I even tried behind a friends house but didn't get anything.

Thank you!

Here s a picture of today's Satellite. The crack is massive. Main lake off Bbp is done too. Sorry for bad news
