Gilford Ice Fishing

My wife and I decided to hit Gilford today. There at 1pm, we walked out 1.5 km til we saw a pressure crack, "That's far enuff". We spent 2 hrs looking for aggressive perch finally after running and gunning fishing approx 20 holes, we found them. Ice was solid 5-8" and the perch were hungry.

Virginia beach was good today ... had to follow them constantly ... never really had any 'hot' holes. We caught in excess of 150 ... alot of small ones ... kept about 50. Alot of huge sunfish too! ... Has anyone ever tried eating one of those babies?! We thought about keeping one but wasn't 100% sure on the season or the rules? Ice was good...7 or 8 inches. We ended up getting bait from some hippie dude near Sutton on Hwy 48 ... Bait shop / Head shop ... coulda bought worms and bongs in one shopping 'trip' !! Anyways...that's my experience for the day ... just got finished filetting and headin' it to the ole fartsack ... g'night

Walked on at Airport Rd and had a line in the water by 8AM and stayed until 2PM. Had to work for them but managed 13 keepers between 10-11.5 inches.Probably landed 60 fish in total. All on jigging raps and bugs.

The ice was a consistant 4-5 inches from Airport Rd right over to the Island. Just a dusting of snow on top of the ice ... perfect for walking. One other group of 4 fishermen out there. I stopped and chatted with them on the way back to shore. They had a good number of fish on the ice some a little small..but a good mix of 9-11 inchers as well.

Cook's Bay is almost frozen over and is NOT safe! Predicting possible solid ice if conditions continue by December 16, 2007. Check with local ice hut operators before coming out.

Still busy fishing off the Barrie Docks.
