Domer 103 Report post Posted March 21, 2017 We had a great weekend past. 13 guys, lots of laughs, tons of food and drink, and the fish were a plentiful. I would say 150-200 walleyes were caught, tons released, some kept and some eaten. Take advantage of the excellent lake conditions and the fishing should get better as the 15th of April approaches. Here are a few pics. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Domer 103 Report post Posted March 22, 2017 This ridge is the biggest I have ever seen on lac. 6-7' high in spots. Past reserve point Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ribneck 14 Report post Posted March 26, 2017 Was out from pinepoint yesterday was about an inch or so of snow. Just enough so you weren't slipping every time you ran to a line. Fishing was pretty good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Domer 103 Report post Posted March 27, 2017 Today, 3 of us headed out to lac to do some serious fishing. We decided to fish one of my spots away from any crowds. The two gentlemen I was with have a shack year round set up at the old derby site. Today I showed them the benefit of fishing different waters and away from other people and surface noise. The fishing was fantastic. Nothing monstrous, 4.2lb walleye released but the numbers and the quality was excellent. I am not going to lie but I put on a clinic today. I landed 48 fish today and we as a total landed 70 fish today. Our catch was one 15" and the rest between 16.5-17.5. It was a beautiful day today but I am red as a tomato and my bald head is on fire. Bitter sweet or just stupid for not bringing sunscreen. Maybe I should become a guide on lac and put people on fish. Anyone interested? Lol, not quite April fools yet. Here are some pics. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Happy 3 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 Nice fish ^. Hey gang, hoping to get some feedback on your Lac experience... I am a bit of a regular ice fisherman around Pine Point, and as far east as Reserve Point. Usually do 'ok' and always use dace minnows. Occasionally, during late season I'll venture out of Sawmill and always hear people saying that suckers are a must at that end of the lake. Thoughts? and if yes, how far down the lake does this usually apply to? Thx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SILVER MINNOW BAIT SHOP 129 Report post Posted March 31, 2017 My dad came up from the sault to try to catch some walleye. Tough bite today but we managed to get our limits. The road is quickly becoming a mess. Still lots of ice tho. Quote Silver Minnow Bait Shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Happy 3 Report post Posted April 1, 2017 Any updates on ice conditions out of either pine point or sawmill? Trucks still? Thx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ribneck 14 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 Was out from pinepoint yesterday the lake is getting pretty slushy. We drove a truck out but would not recommend it at all drive out was fine on the way back we hit mutiple spots where the truck dropped through 10-12" of slush tons of soft spots everywhere. Measured the ice only 23" where we fished. Fishing was good. Everyone be safe out there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 I'm out here at lac right now. The sawmill bay road is pretty rough. Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Fish 16 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 Is there 2 weeks of ice left? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 Sawmill hasn't lifted yet. I did hear past sand point that it lifted. I had to get towed about halfway back by a track truck I got stuck. Many people got stuck on both Saturday and today. As for how long it lasts.... I don't know. Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Porkchop21 34 Report post Posted April 3, 2017 Just got back from pine point and we took the quads but sleds would work too. I would say about 3-7 inches of slush/snow in the area I was. Fishing was slow even though I went to almost all my "secret spot" which don't seem too secret anymore by looking at the number of holes at them. Did see a couple trucks out there today but I wouldn't recommend it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollywood 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2017 If you stay off Sawmill Bay road, would a quad have any difficulties getting out? Pictures above make it look pretty dicey. Also curious how thick ice is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speckmaster 114 Report post Posted April 6, 2017 Is anyone heading out this weekend? I'm on the fence right now. Apparently a side by side went through at Whitefish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Porkchop21 34 Report post Posted April 8, 2017 Any reports on ice conditions? I heard last night a truck went thru the ice at birch island and their are blow holes showing up around sawmill bay. Anyone know if their is any truth to these rumors? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted April 8, 2017 There were a couple of holes flagged off last weekend when I was out there. Well, I assume that's why the areas were flagged off. Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
