You can ride around there, the ice is locked up tight...however, there is a large ridge near the one side of the island. Also you cant rip around out there too much there is a lot of random jagged ice sticking out here and there. Best bet to take er slow and follow other paths.

Many times yes. Hit and miss, great days and crap days. You really have to get on the spots that matter and Navionics contour maps have helped find humps etc. I usually fish 20-60fow at silver harbour. Was there Tuesday actually, guys had trucks out there. Ive never been on a sled from silver harbour to caribou so I cant speak to that, let common sense prevail and just wagch for those big ice shards sticking out.

Mostly whities but lots of lakers seem to cruise over those humps chasing the same smelt. Have also caught coasters and steelhead but not nearly as common.

Sounds good. I'm hoping to get out the next couple weekends. Would a four-wheeler work or only snowmachine? thanks again

There was quite a bit of snow you could probably get away with taking a four wheeler but I️ would use a snowmachine there was probably about 12-16 inches of snow

Wouldn't recommend a four wheeler out there at all, unless you have it tracked. Also, access from Sare road is snowmachine/foot access only as per the owners rules. Someone decided they would try a quad and got stuck hard several times and turned around and went home, as they should.
