sinker7 114 Report post Posted November 22, 2023 I have 4 of the H.T Enterprises 'Tip-ups' that are probably ranging between 25-35 years old. Used them constantly over the years for walleye, pike and lakers. They work flawlessly. Highly recommended if the current product matches there past products. Never had any issues with them. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone have any suggestions on what they like/prefer/work best or ones to stay away from? thanks! Depends what you are looking for/or if you looking for hook setting capabilities or not… for walleyes/perch/stocked trout I religiously I allways have a second line out with the black fox triggers and/or then the jaw jackers to a lesser extent just because way they set annoys me a bit having to have a loop on the end of the rod but for big baits and lake trout I use the frabill insulated tip ups with suckers on them but it does suck you don’t get a rod… I’m asking Santa for the finicky foolers with hole cover as I’ve seen them out a few times and it’s a tip up that allows you to use the rod… very similar to the ifishpro but I find them too cumbersome to pack around and expensive. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ekvin1 9 Report post Posted November 23, 2023 I also use the Black Fox Trigger and insulated Frabrill tip ups. Have a few HT that I use if it is mild enough out to keep the hole open Those Black Fox Triggers are nice, simple to rig and easy to pack. When I first get to a lake, I drill a hole and set up a Trigger and then go drill other holes, check depths etc. Often catch a fish on the Trigger while setting up rest of the holes and hut. Let us know if you get any of those Finicky Foolers Zack, they looked promising. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome to the forum. Lots of info on Golding Lake.

The trail access to Golding was off onion lake damn road then down Golding lake road. Have gone there for the last 15 years as I just live down the road until a new property owner posted the trail access as private and set up trail cameras. I hear there may be another access trail from the end of onion lake road , but looking at land owner maps it’s looks to be private as well. Sure do miss going to that lake. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems unfortunate they have stocked over 35,000 fish into a lake that is not accessible to the public, must be nice to be the land owner that has his very own stocked lake so close to town!

Yeah no kidding, the wife and I tried snowshoeing in from further down onion lake damn road from Default lake last year , but the terrain was just way too steep and rocky combined with the deep snow. Wasn’t worth the headache. Have pulled some nice sized fish from Golding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishog 215 Report post Posted December 5, 2023 From Shackslanding on Lac. "We’ve all been patiently waiting for this! We have a trail marked to the Darby site. Thanks to Bruce and it is good black ice 6 to 8 inches thick. There is one bad spot before Birch Island. There is a pressure ridge and there’s only 3 inches of ice but you can go around it. We’ve had quads and snow machines out there yesterday and today and fisherman, catching Pickerel and pike! No truck traffic as of yet. We still need a little bit more ice. Pray for cold weather and happy fishing guys." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
