I could go tomorrow morning or friday afternoon if you dont mind showing me the ropes... im an avid fisherman, just not familiar with lakes and species.. anyone know a good spot for minnows going north on either 38 or 10 from kingston?

Try North Frontenac Bait and Tackle in Sharbot Lake on 38. phone 613 279 3733. I stopped in this weekend and he is a pretty nice guy, lives right on property so if the car is in the driveway, he's open.

CT is a last resort, I find thier minnows die quick and it seriously takes the guy about 25 minutes to round up a dozen. Try catchall bait (Mark's bait) in battersea. $4.50 for muds, last a long time...very lively.

BTW, Rock = Verona (the little lake in Verona on Water street)

Upper rock is another lake altogether.

TheDL · « **Reply #406 on:** Jan 13, 2012, 08:49 AM »

welcome to the shanty icejunkie33. Were there really 32 other icejunkies?

You might end up getting called "33" around this board.

Thanks for the ice report...when were you on 4th on sunday? I was out there from 7am-2pm...didn't see too many others out there. You catch anything?

icejunkie33 · « **Reply #407 on:** Jan 13, 2012, 12:20 PM »

9am53 · « **Reply #408 on:** Jan 13, 2012, 12:35 PM »

In case I don't come back on today I will be the guy with the oak camo hut on Rock tomorrow. Name's Adam.

TheDL · « **Reply #409 on:** Jan 13, 2012, 02:17 PM »

9am53 · « **Reply #410 on:** Jan 14, 2012, 06:04 PM »

So I set the hut up, and had a great time. We got a dozen perch, kept 9, and threw one away at home. THey were kind of wormy...but cleaned up good.

icekid · « **Reply #411 on:** Jan 14, 2012, 06:56 PM »

Were the lots of people out? Any concerns with the ice?

9am53 · « **Reply #412 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 06:26 AM »

Friggin Geez! I guess I will be heading out to block up the hut today before it freezes in. Maybe I should move up north, this isn't winter it's a nuisance!

I hear ya! Hard to count on consistent weather this winter!

9am53 · « **Reply #414 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 07:28 AM »

Hard to count on normal winter weather the past 5 years! It's not even cold out! Maybe in a few years we will actually start thinking about moving north, this 3 season BS sucks, I want 4 seasons! There is no point to owning a snowmachine around here anymore...

bass_belt · « **Reply #415 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 09:38 AM »

Ya, although I wouldn't mind open water fishing all year round I must admit...the ice is fun but I love the boat!

9am53 · « **Reply #416 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 11:16 AM »

Yeah, but up north you can do both. Here we are starting ice fishing early Jan, and done early March...then waiting for warm weather to start. It's a waste of a season.

bass_belt · « **Reply #417 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 11:51 AM »

Ya, true enough!

With that wind last night maybe you should have let it freeze in!

9am53 · « **Reply #419 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 08:13 AM »

I ended up staying in last night...now I am wondering if the hut is still there! Shux, I will have to go out after work to check it out...maybe I will have to drop a line to make sure everything is working ok
