Some drive their truck on from the launch or mills point.. But I wouldn't this time of year. The ice is going the other way.. I've caught them in 15' all the way down to 80+'..

Assuming you're not coming all the way around from the inner bay, the only place with public access on the Colchester side is Causeway Park, right?

Post by: Adam.love05 on Mar 07, 2021, 04:18 PM: Shelburne bay is also a good spot.. I know a guy that fishes them shallow (15-20') and does great on tip ups and jigging rattle baits..
