Had a really fun day on lonely today ...drove by toga otw home there was 1 guy drilling a hole right in front of the launch testing perhaps? 1 guy about 100 yards off fitch and then boom about 15 shanty’s off Browns

Was on the South End today off Silver Beach. Found a variable thickness from 4" to 6". Lake did not freeze evenly causing the various thickness'. Had to really work hard to bring home a decent perch. I was just jigging today. Worked 8' to 14'. My buddy ran tip-ups and had better luck. By the way there is another "ice-locked" sail boat on this side of the lake too!

Good luck guys. Never fished lonely. Best place to access?

Or they under estimate the ice sometimes.

Wow! I saw the trucks out there today, didn't know one went through... was 8" of white ice by me but not sure about over there.... such brutal brutal cold day too...

Hardwaterlipn147 · « **Reply #850 on:** Dec 31, 2017, 05:09 PM »

That's not the way anyone wants to end the year. On a serious note use common sense and be safe it's early check the ice and know where you are and the area your fishing

Garufi518 · « **Reply #851 on:** Dec 31, 2017, 05:19 PM »

That truck went through at Saratoga?

SSmokinn SS · « **Reply #852 on:** Dec 31, 2017, 05:20 PM »

I wish I could say that wasn’t his fault but it’s kind of common sense... early ice conditions, easy walking... are people really that lazy that they need to drive on the ice?

Crappie Killr · « **Reply #853 on:** Dec 31, 2017, 05:21 PM »

We saw both those trucks when we got off the ice and were driving over the bridge. We were pretty surprised anyone would drive a vehicle on the lake and then park so close together. The trucks looked to be parked right next to each other.

Thinking about heading out tomorrow morning off browns beach how’s the perch been hitting?

Hardwaterlipn147 · « **Reply #855 on:** Dec 31, 2017, 06:58 PM »

I went out today had some mark up but wouldn't commit.

lakesteve · « **Reply #856 on:** Dec 31, 2017, 10:17 PM »

Maybe the truck belongs to the guy who owns the sail boat?

Hardwaterlipn147 · « **Reply #857 on:** Dec 31, 2017, 10:23 PM »

Thinking about hitting fish creek tomorrow after work it will be getting dark and I’ve never fished there before anything to watch for besides bubblers and how much ice that way ?

buz23 · « **Reply #862 on:** Jan 03, 2018, 04:09 AM »

The area affected by bubblers is much smaller this year with the colder temps. I saw guys fishing right off the launch pier (over the old cut-off bridge pilings) on Monday and that area never froze last year.

lockdown199 · « **Reply #863 on:** Jan 03, 2018, 09:06 AM »

Watch for spring holes, stepped in on a few years back and it wasn’t fun.

I know its been cold, but be careful depending on how far down the creek you go, the current down towards the bends always keeps the ice thin.

Better his truck then mine!

Garufi518 · « **Reply #866 on:** Jan 03, 2018, 12:22 PM »

Thanks boys I don’t think I’m going THAT far maybe just out of the launch and 30 yards to the right

Wish access to lonely was easier id just go rip more Fatties out of there at the same time thankful it’s not keeps traffic down

liquidonyx · « **Reply #869 on:** Jan 03, 2018, 04:16 PM »
