kbrest 151 Report post Posted December 30, 2013 Thats right sorry, lake trout zone 6th is Feb 1st, but Zone 9 for superior is Jan 1st....So, still closed for the boys catching their limits as previously posted. So, I am assuming if they are worried about their limits, they are not native canadian, and having caught their "limits" prior to January 1st, have just poached their limits and posted accordingly. Hmmm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scandiman 114 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 Yup Lakers are closed until Feb 1st, unless fishing east of Kama (zone 9) where it is now fair game for lakers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbrest 151 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 I'm looking at the regs, Im pretty sure Zone 9 includes all of the north shore of superior which, includes silver harbour, thunder bay area right to the border and international zones of superior. Lakers open January 1st. If I am wrong or the MNR site is not updated for some reason please correct me...as I plan on hitting the ice nearby for lakers lol.The zone 9 border does not stop at kama it encircles the superior northshore, including Thunder Bay, Black bay, Nipigon bay, kama Bay etc right to Sault Ste Marie. And shows Lakers opening January 1st Zone 9.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbrest 151 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 Haha No problem. Sorry if that came off as rude, just making sure before I hit the ice as well! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scandiman 114 Report post Posted January 3, 2014 Haha No problem. Sorry if that came off as rude, just making sure before I hit the ice as well! No worries at all, I didn't take it as coming off rude. I'd rather be told different, than go through life thinking the wrong thing lol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Canoehead 69 Report post Posted January 3, 2014 I stopped for a quick scout/fish at Silver Harbor on New Years day. I didn't go far from shore but there was lots of ice. I didn't measure so i won't post my guestimate...but there was enough that I didn't bother to measure. No fish but I wasn't even there an hour. I will hopefully get out this weekend and check the ice thickness further out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted January 6, 2014 Ice varies from 8-14, huge differences. Found one spot with 6 further out, evidence of the odd blow hole and some sheets of ice have smashed over top of others. Safe though, nothing less than 6. Lots of fish marked, lost one at hole. They weren't biting very well. Most marked on or near bottom in 16-20 FOW. Live bait was not the ticket, artificials got the most attention. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jason 5 Report post Posted January 6, 2014 Ya we were marking lots right on bottom in 67ft of water but nothing would bite lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crooksyredboat Report post Posted January 12, 2014 Fishing in 22ft today no bites ice varied 8 to 12 inches in the spots I drilled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrock 7 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 10 " where I was fishing. 1 herring is all I got. But I did see a first today. Helped the guy beside me land a 20lb norther! Never in 30 years have I seen a pike come out of this area. And yes he let the big girl go. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
