Was wondering if the ice conditions out of the third creek area are safe for snowmobiles?

I can't give you first hand report as I have not fished or been out to check.

There is a decent amount open water out towards the point, and the culvert has eaten away at a good portion of the ice by the road when I drove by 3rd creek last night.

This is only my opinion, but I don't think I would take a machine out tomorrow after the warm up last weekend/early this week.

Couple guys I heard from early in the week said that the ice deteriorated rather quickly as there wasn't really great black ice to start with.

I'm sure someone will chime in here on this and know way more than I do, and may perhaps tell you otherwise.

The ice has been inconsistent all year, and I would encourage you and everyone else to stay on the cautious side... We don't need to jeopardize our lives or the lives of our first responders either.

When in doubt, walk and Spud.

Thank you and I agree with your statements. I will walk and spud my way out.

I personally don't ever take a machine out. Not a position I really want to put myself in honestly. I play the conditions. Some times I drag my well built, collapsible Smitty sled, some times it's just the shanty, some times it's just a mini jet sled.

I know myself too well, if I bring a machine out, I'll push the limits too far and be somewhere I shouldn't be.

I just leave my house earlier if the drag will take a little longer.

Use caution this weekend.

Fished out of third creek today in 35FOW. Caught 22 keepers between 2 guys. Chrome spoon with a perch eye did the trick today.

If you want excellent bait and information about the ice, Davenport's Bait will let you know. they are stand up (Donny-owner) guys and always treat you good. They are by far the best any where I've been. their information is priceless when warning you of bad areas and hidden dangerous spots as reported back to them. it doesn't matter what part of the bay you fish, He will share information. God bless you Donny. Wish others would do the same.
I felt obligated since I have been treated so good for many years there. it's also nice to have the best bait by far.

Ditto that. Next time there ask him about the time he drove across the bay when he was a kid. Interesting and funny.
I have been buying bait there for 40+ years. The place never changed. And that’s a good thing.

They are always generous with bait, and even more important reliable information. The definition of a good old fashioned bait shop.

BeenPerchin315 · « **Reply #286 on:** Feb 04, 2021, 03:12 AM »

Hey everyone I hit a slush spot Tuesday on the way in from third and on the conditions page someone posted that it’s gotten worse. Just wanted to spread the word.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully it will firm up after this warm spell and gets colder again next week.

badbrad2186 · « **Reply #288 on:** Feb 04, 2021, 06:52 AM »

Should firm up between now and Saturday cold at night every night

jakemac · « **Reply #289 on:** Feb 04, 2021, 08:12 AM »

You think the winds will make Sat a bust?

They are calling for SW winds at 13MPH with up to 25MPH gusts on Friday.

Just to see for myself, I just got back from checking the parking at Sodus. All I can say is I’m glad I am retired and don’t have to fish the weekends. Third creek was lined up way up the road in both directions and on both side of the road for much of it. I have never seen so many cars there - ever!

hinkydo · « **Reply #293 on:** Feb 06, 2021, 12:03 PM »

Must be the only place they are catching fish.
I am with you Pequod1.
Now though not many people working, got to do something.
Been packed since the ice got stiff.

In 396 days work will cease to interfere with my hunting and fishing. But who's counting?

justfishin · « **Reply #295 on:** Feb 06, 2021, 06:20 PM »

All those guys fishing and no reports from today..

jakemac · « **Reply #296 on:** Feb 06, 2021, 07:18 PM »

30 FOW

Third creek

100 dinks, 5 keepers, 1 giant whitefish.

6/7" of ice (3 black, 3 white)

Slush is frozen. Snow is manageable but heavy snow at shore and opens to near bare ice.

All and all, better than working but the pan will not be making any dinner tonight!

BeenPerchin315 · « **Reply #297 on:** Feb 07, 2021, 05:11 AM »

So I see 3rd city and loop town are getting thick. Can y’all catch anything that tight together. Lol looks crazy. Today will be worse with the bass holes sponsored derby. Good luck to those out.

Are you sure that was a whitefish? The guy next to me last week caught this Cisco. It was around 16”.

Cisco and whitefish are one of the same. My home lake Owasco at one time was plentiful with them in the early years. They never called them whitefish. Always Cisco's. The old timers would fly fish for them at dawn and dusk.
