Schurrzy 3 Report post Posted January 2, 2018 Any huts by Granite? I am looking at making the run this weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AB 98 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 Gary has one day hut out at Planet Granite. He will likely move a few more over the next few days if the weather allows. A scouting trip today paid off, but conditions were pretty brutal. With extreme cold weather headed our way until the weekend, its tough on men and equipment to make the haul out of Hurkett Cove. There is enough snow to run sleds, just have to weave through the glare ice to get to it. Ice thickness was about 18 inches out by the island. There are several ridges to get by on the trek to the island areas. Fishing is decent all over the bay. I'm going to enjoy a nice feed from Tuesday. stay warm!
