HOLLY COW !!! what a change in things as of 5 PM today ...i was all over half the province today from barrie to aurora to newmarket to queensville to keswick to bradford...any areas i looked ...the ice was leavin fast ...crappies were being caught.. I didnt take any pictures today but areas that had ice yesterday have water today and lotsa water in cooks bay ...that said ...theres still lotsa ice left too...yea u can get out in certain spots ...but strongly suggest u wait a bit so the ice dont trap you out on the water ..Mrs H said april 19th an I kinna think shes gonna be correct ...damm i hate that ,,,here comes another i told ya so ...
safe boating
Horseshoe
opps forgot ...a lot of the ice in the above pictures is now water ...if i get a chance I"ll grab some pictures

Hey HS, thanks for the pics update! Sorry I missed ya on Sat, I got all excited to go fishin & forgot to pull your digits off the pm. I was all over southern cooks and fishing was good including that nook we were talking about. No iceburgs floating around, but ice hut parts were along with some driftwood. So be careful out there yet.
Also, looks like kEMP WEST IS WIDE OPEN AS OF TONIGHT, JUST DROVER BY QUICK ON WAY HOME. Oops sorry for caps hehe
