AmateurHourAngling 49 Report post Posted December 30, 2018 Hoping this cold weather has locked it up enough to walk out, might take a look tomorrow afternoon Quote -JADEN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus all this snow will not help either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2112 174 Report post Posted December 31, 2018 Ice report for today suggests not going out anytime soon. By safety guidelines the pink and purple are not safe. The magenta means you can probably atleast walk on it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaptain Kirk 34 Report post Posted December 31, 2018 Didnt look Like It Was Safe earlier today when i went bye, Still Open Water, and sheets of ice, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wopfisher 58 Report post Posted December 31, 2018 Quite a bit of open water there still it’s definitely gonna be a bit before you can walk out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eyelander 164 Report post Posted January 4, 2019 Lake Trout, Whitefish, and Herring I believe. Quote Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2112 174 Report post Posted January 4, 2019 Still a little bit to go but was apparently covered by ice when the satellite went by today. As for species, what eyelander said. Ive had awesome days out there and terrible days out there. Last year we did ok with Lake trout, filled the smoker right up, but you gotta want to walk to the 90ft flat or you won't catch much. Atleast I didnt. I did not catch a single whitefish there last year whereas years before I've had days where we hammered them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pound 4 Pound 28 Report post Posted January 5, 2019 Good post Clewis for everyone's safety. Don't jump the gun there has been many years that Silver Harbour with cold weather does not freeze safe enough until February don't take the risk there is lot of under current around that area. I have ice fished that area for many years and was tought by many and experienced fisherman that are now RIP that I have learnt from. Be safe a few fish are not worth a life. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishog 215 Report post Posted January 9, 2019 Don't think anyone will be ice fishing there this year unless they have pontoons on their sled 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CountDupu 28 Report post Posted January 10, 2019 I meant to say the same thing yesterday, drove out to check and there’s only ice between island and land . I don’t think it’s happening this year Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2112 174 Report post Posted January 21, 2019 Ice charts show it freezing and breaking up and freezing. Couple more weeks id guess Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2112 174 Report post Posted January 28, 2019 Ice charts have silver harbour iced over. Anyone been out that way to confirm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishingfinn 42 Report post Posted January 29, 2019 I was out there on the weekend, yup it's definitely frozen over. I wasn't fishing, just walking the dogs around. Looked like a number of ridges had formed out from the harbour. I walked around on the ice, west of the harbour. Don't know how much ice, but there was sign of people fishing already. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked and there was sled marks up at the parking (could be anyone just ripping around) but there was too much snow blowing around to see anything on the ice itself. My own tracks were disappearing right behind me. I could make out some snowmachine tracks on the ice but not far and didn’t seem to be pulling any sleighs so could’ve been just leisure riders Quote -JADEN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ottoman82 41 Report post Posted February 1, 2019 How far do you go out? I am looking at going out a few times while the kids are in school so I will be limited in time. I don't want to go too far out. I was hoping for lake trout or white fish. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
