crazyctr 227 Report post Posted January 17, 2013 Just wondering the conditions of black bay? Ice ridges and slush? Thinking of heading out Friday an wondering if I should take the quad or the sled?there is no slush everything is froze up now as for the ice ridges they look pretty good as long as it stays cold. quads should be ok to use now just check ridges before you cross them just to be safe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnr 47 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 Two thumbs way up to Gary and Hamilton Baits! Best kept secret in the area. Current fishing reports, live bait, daily heated hut rentals if you desire and most importantly current ice conditions on a very cold and unpredictable Lake Superior. Stop in and support this business if for no other reason than to let the gatekeeper know you are out there and on the right side of the ice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WalleyeWayne 137 Report post Posted January 25, 2013 The Weather Channel was just touting ice fishing on Black Bay and Nipigon Bay. Expect an increase in activity, Gary especially with milder weather this weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
