Scugog Ice

[MotoJoe]

Does anybody been to Scugog yet? How's the ice there? I remember last year already have good and safe ice, how about this year?!

One of the slowest lakes in the area to ice up this season, and with the warm weather of the next few days is only going to get worse. There might be a few spots you could get out on now, but i don't plan to be hitting scugog until the new year.

I was in Port Perry and went up to the Reserve... There were a l lot of open spots (mostly where there is currents.

Talk to the guys at the tackle shop. 

Be super careful

Hello ice shanty. I looked threw the site and I love it. I was out on scugog yesterday directly off the point of the island. We set up straight out from the launch about 200 meters out. 7 inches of solid ice everywhere we drilled. Managed a few nice crappies lots of small perch and a 2 pound small mouth for our efforts. It was a great first outing with lots more to come. Gonna be out again within the next few days in search for some eyes.

Hi Crazy J,

Thanks for sharing, it's good to know there is some ice already, I think I may try to go this Saturday.

To give everyone a heads up the causeway bait shop is under new ownership. His names Ryan. Seems like a nice Guy. Prices are still the same.  Hw says he's open 24 hours and to just ring the door bell at the store. Not too sure about his lake knowledge tho.  I called on new years day for an ice report and I little boy answered the phone and told me there was lots of ice off the tip 6 - 8 inches. I went that day only 4 - 5 so keep that in mind and be safe. I wanna get on some eyes soon.  I'm off of work due to a surgury I've had so ill be out all over different lakes . If anyone wants to meet up or tag along .... tight lines folks

[CrazyJ]

Oh yeah forgot to mention he doesn't have a license to sell fishing licenses yet.

Hi Crazy J,

Let me know when will you go again maybe we can meet up someday.

Today went to check Scugog, North end and public boat ramp, saw about 10 huts outside the boat ramp. north end has 3-4 huts, 9 inches. snow machine and ATV already running around. Fish at the north end at 6ft for 2 hrs, lots of perch and gills, left at 5pm. Didn't check Goreski.

[CrazyJ]

Ya I was out yesterday was out from noon to 600 ish from the end of the north ramp on the island. Lots of perch aswel.  We setup 25 yards of the left red maker. Bout 7 - 8 feet of water. My buddy lost something big at the hole didn't get to see he snapped off. I wanna try goreskis too next outing. Or try the east side of the island. Those are the only spots I've nailed some eyes. Usually hook into a ski often too. Lots of snow on the ice now I'm sure.   Good luck all motojoe we should link up to do some fishing sometime. I've got a clam Bigfoot fits 3 guys comfortably. 

[CrazyJ]

I forgot to mention we were on close to 10 inches where we were lots of ice now. Like moto mentioned there's permanent huts goin out now. Watched a Guy yesterday pull one out with a quad.  Anyone been out to goreskis or ceaserea id love to here a report on ice any info would be appreciated.  Tights lines

Hi Crazy J, Why not, I like to meet new friends, I met a guy named Bill yesterday. He was surprise I were leaving at 5pm, he said it's the time for the fish to come, I have no choice cause my friend's kid said he want to go. I will go tomorrow again for Crappie and eyes. Not sure which part yet. I will go with ATV and a Calm Nanook.
