Went out this afternoon with a friend in Meredith Bay to set up and jig for cusk tonight. We got set up and jigging and right around 5:30 out of nowhere had about a foot to almost of foot and a half of water on top of the ice! Bob house floating as well as cusk traps. Water kept coming and going with the wind. Just wanted to let people know in case you have your own cusk traps or shacks out there.
If you venture out tomorrow, be careful. Could be a lot of the same. Bring waiters! LOL about a foot of ice where I was though. Check as you go.
