Fishog 215 Report post Posted November 9, 2017 This reminds me of a trip out there many many years ago a friend and I went out Nov 3rd with 4 inches of ice on snowmachines and no snow to speak of. You could see the bubbles below the ice which freaked me out LOL. FIshed all day and never caught a fish. Around 6 PM some finlander decided to come out with his 66 Impala car. We never stuck around to find out what ever happened to him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can attest to that. We were around the island straight out from the launch, both sides and in front. About 7" of solid ice. Lots of Pike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gsambray 172 Report post Posted December 6, 2017 Didn't make it out there a nasty chest cold decided to hit me. Yes a truck went through and he has a go fund me page trying to get money for a new truck. Imo it was a dumb move driving a truck out there yet. They are ok and hopefully learnt a lesson unfortunately the hard way. Use your head and stay safe out there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jayfishin 63 Report post Posted December 30, 2017 Just got back from whitefish. Did an afternoon early evening fish. Drove truck on lake at boat launch. Headed east towards shacks. Ice is solid but snow covered with a few good size drifts now with a crust. Getting a bit tricky unless u have 4x4 and decent tires. 20” + of solid ice. Fishing very slow....a few lookers and a few tasters but no fish iced. Jay 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red_Nuck 5 Report post Posted January 7, 2018 Out on the west end today, could drive anywhere though there's supposedly a ridge forming in the middle (north to south). 24 inches of noisy ice and no action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oyo 127 Report post Posted January 17, 2018 How are the conditions for driving after the snowfall? Wondering for a friend who is thinking of pulling his ice shack out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
