just looking for an update to see if a quad or side by side is okay for travel in the bay right now. Or are snow machines the only way to go?

 

Thanks

went through super shores trail on Friday with a quad. We had two people on it and pulled a hefty sleigh with no issue. Didn't break through the crust once...although where we drilled we noticed about 12" between the crust and the actual ice...so keep a good shovel!! Fishing was amazing, had our limits by noon with 12 jumbos included! (The rest under 12") good luck! Cheers!

Once the temp gets above 0 and that foot of compact snow softens it might be a hard go with wheeled vehicles.

Is Superior Shores trail private property? I heard people were leaving a lot of trash there

Bring yer hip waders and if you go through Sup Shores then there's 2 Ice ridges until you get into some really good fishing

hip waders because of slush or open spots? can you get a quad across the 2 ridges or is a snowmobile better option? just over a week ago there apparently was over 3ft of ice.

sleds are best yet but by the end of the week quads will go anywhere out there just be careful around the ridges

We went out from Hurkett Dock to Granite Island a few days ago. As Gary mentioned ice and snow conditions were still very good and the fish were still active.  Found best action in about 20ft of water.

Was out today sled is best. Got little bit soupee on way back in. No problem with sled. Might be a little tough on quad. And little wet.tons of ice and the bite was steady.
