I was on the south end of the lake yesterday and from Sandy Bay up through by Moose Island and Black Sand Island the sluch is over your boots. just keep the hammer down on your sleds and you will be OK
That is not what I wanted to hear at all.....
Sounds like a job for the undertaker!
Real fisherman aren't bothered by a little slush!
you'll make a lot of friends on here with a awesome first post like that!
Maybe he was stuck in the slush for the last 4 years.
Really?A little slush, describe what you mean by that? If your a walk on pulling a light weight kiddie sled with one person's gear that's one thing. On the other hand if your running serious snowmachines, while pulling jet sleds fully loaded through slush up to a foot deep this becomes a nightmare real fast and becomes an all out battle that can take 3 to 4 full grown men hours to extricate yourself from depending on how large the flooded area of slush under the snow has spread to and how far you have to go to escape the area. Get the picture yet? WARNING: Do not attempt this on your own on Maine Lakes with current slush conditions! Unless of course you are with a film crew making a new reality TV show with a theme of macho man with no brains making a fool of himself, like so many others.
Just lived that scenario a few weeks back. 1/2 mile from shore 1 sled 1 jet sled, 2 fat guys 4 1/2 hours later we were off the ice
Thanks for coming to my defense guys but you can remove all your posts, he's a bud and it's his camp we are going to! . 4 year lurker though, that might be a record!
I left there Sunday but I still don't think there will be any slush just yet as its been too cold up there. I think the traveling will be better on the lake because this past weekend there was very little snow and what there was, was really hard packed drifts which made for very slow going with gear. Good Luck
all I can say is good thing we left on Sunday Before Sunday their were some slush pockets around some of the shore lines. But now with 28 inches of new snow on the lake the slush is all over the place Good Luck and bring some long ropes with you
We left Sunday too, fished the north end of the lake and there was no slush to be found. The middle to the edges were locked up solid, quite a few large pressure ridges, but you could get around or over all of them. Going was tough as packed drifts mixed with bare patches made it a bit bumpy. The wind today will likely have moved the snow that fell this past weekend a lot and may make the going slow still with new and perhaps larger drifts. Sorry not much info to add, but if the southern end is bad you could always trailer up to Rockwood. Goodluck.
Thank you. I really was expecting just rough going, not major slush. Talked to a guy yesterday that had just returned from Northeast Carry that said slushy and slow, not a good combination.
Could just come fish east grand with me at least there will be 8 of us to move stuck machines.
No quick way from "moosid" to EG!
Plane
wonder how those pull out of the slush? I'm hearing reports that EG is pretty nasty too.
