Doesn't matter where you walk in the area the ice is soft,and there is lots of water on the ice.Spent most of the afternoon there getting soaked. Fishing was slow managed to get 3 nice Pike and a bunch of small Perch.

Provincial Park side of the trestles the flood ice non existent. Had to carry our gear from the road because the gate is closed at the park entrance. Fishing was good for small pike

Thumbs up Seba Beach

Try the seba beach marina. I trust the ice to drive on the lake. I fish near the weed beds on the south side of the main dock close to shore.
Cheers

Default Seba area

I was near those weed beds yesterday. There is about 6 inches of snow covering 2-3 inches of ice with 3 inches of water under that then 12 inches of ice. The layer of flood water insn't a problem if your walking but in places even the snowmobiles are breaking thru. Can't imagine it would be too good with a truck. Fishing was slow too. Caught 1 white and 3 jacks 2 of which were 7 pounds but didn't see too many either. Good luck if you go out!!

I am glad you had some luck. I go there in march and do well for white fish. I always release them to catch em again.
