McGinnis_Fishing 49 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 Was out today and marked a ton of perch with the marcum. They were just little guys, big enough to steal your bait but not big enough to get hooked (i was using bigger "walleye gear") caught a couple little ones that went back along with a decent pike. We had 1 bite that seemed like a walleye but lost it. Hopefully next time is better! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trout Wrangler 13 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 The last two snow falls should make driving a truck on the lake a challange. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AB 98 Report post Posted March 20, 2015 Anyone have any idea what the snow / slush / ice conditions are like lately? It's getting to be the time of the year when you can drive on again without to much trouble if conditions are right. Thanks, Iceman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xf800 7 Report post Posted March 20, 2015 I walked out today fishing was not that good. Was a few snow drifts but saw a few quads and few trucks that were pulling shacks off the lake.Was no slush but walked out from the launch behind the island. Not sure how the rest of the lake was.The ice was almost up to the top of the power auger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AB 98 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 I decided to follow the advice I often give, 'if you've got the time, go fish" yesterday afternoon. The drive down to the lake was enjoyable in the sunshine, I already had the minnows left over from last weekend and my lab needed some exercise so I brought along her favorite ball. I figured the worst case situation would be giving her a chance to stretch her legs someplace where she can run without concern. I got down to the public launch just after 4pm. With temps around +3C, I knew the snow would be softening up. I drove onto the lake without any problems. It looks like the packed snow at the launch is still pretty solid at the point where vehicles of all kinds have been getting on and off the ice. There was no slush to speak of. Snow cover for the 1st 750 meters heading out to the islands was sparse. Once I got past the halfway point to the islands, heading slightly southeast I started encountering frequent remnants of snow drifts. I have good tires on my truck and was able to get through with little trouble. There were a few times, when driving through the confluence of three or four drifts that I wondered if I'd have to engage the 4x4, but was okay in 2wd. The fishing was slow. Despite drilling a bunch of holes over an area where I normally find active fish I couldn't find any day time activity. Finally at 7pm the electronics showed signs of life below the ice besides the minnow on my hook. Over the next hour and a half I had several hits on a still line and managed to bring a few perch to the top of the hole on a jigging set up. Overall it was slow fishing, but I tired out my lab, and know that the truck can get me on and off the ice without much trouble. good luck to anyone else venturing out! iceman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
