Anyone travelling the shore around French bay? Was thinking of going along the shore with a skidoo and then walking out into deeper water if there’s reports of 8”
Thanks

I didn't do too much exploring but there are some rough patches and one smaller pressure ridge that I could see.

there is one pressure ridge that is cutting the marina and the PP from each other. there is a long crack out from the PP ramp heading towards garnet one day it is closed the next about 2" open with a little top water. fishing a little slow but not to bad.

was out for a few hours this afternoon. fished off provincial park. 65 /80 ft.
marked lots of baitfish. Caught one 70cm Lakers don’t seem to be to interested in chasing to far up the water column
i’m not sure if i’m brave enough to go much farther across the big lake. Only 14-15 inches where i was
good luck
