 Regina Beach point and pelican point. Two places to stay away from. Every year trucks go down and people don’t learn. Due to currents and  natural flowing springs it does not freeze properly and is very unpredictable at those two locations.
 There may be more that I’m unaware of but I definitely avoid those two.
 Good fishing and stay safe!

Regina Beach Point is the whole "don't go east of the pier" right?

I would just stay away from the point itself.

To many people get to close to heaves and points.... stay away from heaves, points, mouths Of a river/creek, or places with current... don’t be to lazy to drill test holes as you go.  Also don’t go on in the dark(am or pm)if u have not fished the area before this season. Wait till light and be safe if it’s new to you.

Collingwood was busy today but we found a quiet spot and had a decent catch Lots of small to medium Eyes and some decent perch. Ice was 28 inches access is the same just keep clear of the two heaves and go about your business. 
Old fishermen never die, they just smell that way.

You rock Angler Brian. When are you going to give lessons? I was skunked Thursday and two small perch yesterday. Also at Collingwood. How deep are you?
Good job, keep it up.

The depth varies from day to day sometimes. This yearI  have had the best luck in 25 to 28 feet esp for the Jumbos . I have a few spots saved where there is a rapid transition  from 20 to 30 and even 40 feet . That way we can drill a bunch of holes then test until we find where the schools are feeding.

Thanks for the info. I’ll give that a try. And look for a spot with a ledge.

A truck went down  by the stone barn Saturday at an ice heave. Stay away from the heaves. Glen Harbour is pretty much surrounded by ice heaves this year.

Where exactly is the stone barn? We went on at Arlington yesterday and drove to Etters. There were several small heaves along the way that we crossed. We checked them before crossing and all had over 24" ice. Fishing was terrible. 6 small perch and a dozen tulibee.

It’s straight across from Glen Harbour on the west side of the lake. If you crossed those heaves your fortunate your truck is still on top of the ice. Yes the ice is thick but most of the vehicles going under are ate the heaves. Best of luck and keep your windows down crossing those heaves.

Excellent access at Etter's. You will see a long line of shacks out across the lake to the southwest. The general depth there is 28 feet. There is lots of lake to explore, so just punch some holes in the area. On Sunday we caught pike, walleye, perch, and a tullibee. The camera and flasher were active pretty much all day long. If you like small perch, a tiny beaded hook was the ticket.

It is possible but there are a lot of heaves going through the lake in that area. You maybe looking at a long drive just to get around. Personally I would stick to one area and work it hard searching for fish.

Hi Railman!
 I’m not sure what it’s like to get on at Sarnia. Once you get out there it should not be a problem going to Callingwood. While at Collingwood I do see a lot of trucks coming from Sarnia way. There’s one heave that shoots across the front of Collingwood and then across the lake stay away from that and you should be fine.
If you’re not sure, drill a couple of test holes and stay safe.

I agree, there are 3 east-west heaves between Rowans and Midway.  The safe way to get to Rowans, Collingwood and Midway is by gravel IMHO.
