So Oak,
There aren't any with any size to them in Quaker then?  LOL.  We camp there a couple times every summer and I never take the canoe.  That will change.  But like I said it's hard to set up for trout in a lake that has good pike in it.
Thanks for the link.
Dave

Dave,
The day those pics were from I had 4 tip-up out.  Two were rigged for trout and two for pike so I was covering all the bases.  I also had two jigging poles which I only caught pike on.  Best bet is to try to catch everything in one trip  !  Actually the difference in distance from where the trout were caught to where the pike were caught is 50 yards so you really can fish for everything in one trip.

Kirkwooders, oak. jumper and myself will be heading down to quaker on saturday also.  Look forward to seeing you down there.  Sounds like this lkae is going to be  blast to fish, I can't wait!

[kirkwooders]

Thanks Bobman,
I'm hoping to get down there this weekend but I still haven't heard any reports on how the ice is.  I'm a big fat man with a lot of gear, and I don't want to be a wet big fat man with a lot of wet gear!    Also it's a long drive for me if there isn't going to be ice to fish on. I have to have at least 3" plus good black to get on it.

I haven't been anywhere but Loon and Honeoye yet this year and neither of them have either Pike or trout in any numbers to speak of.  I'd love to tangle with something a little bigger than the 28" pickerel that is my best so far this winter. And it's always fun to fish new water with some new faces.

Please keep me posted.
Thanks
Dave

Bobman, where are the trout in this place?  in deeper or shallower? 

[crowkiller]

I'm a big fat man with a lot of gear        you know you are fat if the back of your neck looks like a package of hot dogs nothing personal

[butterworm]

Bobman, where are the trout in this place?  in deeper or shallower? 

deeper water gairz. the pike seem to be in the shallow water there. at least that is the way it has been when i have gone there. need to suspend bait about 3 to 4 ft from bottom.{for trout}

What are you doing looking at my backside? 

[Bobman]

Bobman, where are the trout in this place?  in deeper or shallower? 

Yeah, what butterworm said.  All the trout I've seen taken there were over deeper water than the pike.  The ones I got last time were suspended (4-6') over about 20' while the pike were on the bottom in 10-12'.  In fact one pike I got one a jigging pole picked my bait up off the bottom.  I just put fresh bait on and dropped my line to the bottom, tightened up the slack and he was on. 

[kirkwooders]

Bobman,
What do you use for bait for the Trout?

[Bobman]

Bobman,
What do you use for bait for the Trout?

I had my tip-ups rigged with a 3' flouro leader (4lb vanish) and a Gamakatsu blood red octopus hook (size 6) with a small split shot to keep the bait down.  I use emerald shiners, the smaller perch size about 2-3", hooked just behind the dorsal in the back.

[kirkwooders]

Is there going to be any ice left on quaker for this weekend or is the wind going to blow it all off?  

Who was it that Pi$$ed off the ice gods anyway?

[butterworm]

keep an eye out later kirkwooders. dbalm is going to be callin oak from quaker and oak will be puttin up the post later with the conditions so you guys are not driving down there for nothing. with this cold that we will be gettin. im pretty sure it should be good for sunday if not saturday. jmo

[kirkwooders]

Butterworm,
Thanks for the heads up.  I hope that dbalm can get cell service down there, we didn't have any luck this summer when we were camping.

I just got off the phone with radeester and he says that he thinks that he and his girl are out for Sat. My honey and I may wait until Sun. to make the trip. That will give the ice another 24 hours to set up and the weather is supposed to be a little better by then.  Maybe we'll go both days, who knows.   

What's more important, fishing or the 500?  I bet we go fishing! 
Dave

[SLIPPERYFISH]

hooked, thanks for the heads up.
is there going to be ice on quaker this weekend?
me and some buddies are going, already have a cabin at the state park so we'll either be fishing or drinking.

Not both? 

[SLIPPERYFISH]

Really... If anyone goes out there Sunday or Monday, PM me... I need to get out soon or Ill go nutz.

[crowkiller]

you better have some good tie downs for your hut unless you like parasailing

[butterworm]

ahhhh yes. nothing like some good old fashion exercise chasing your hut across the
lake. 

[crowkiller]

Ive been in my hut n still gone for a ride,i always anchor my hut down now

[doctariAFC]

Hey, I know what that's all about!  A couple years bakc I went to check the tip ups during a windy day, no anchor on the hut.  The next thing I hear is a scraping/ dragging sound and some serious laughter.  I turn around and here comes the hut, straight at me....  THEOZON and another guy are about wetting themselves, as they think I am it the hut.

Two years ago on Chautauqua Lake, I was fishing in a hurricane-like BlizzARD, while gator007 and his GF are in their hut (I was in my own hut).  Despite having my hut tied off to the Quad, with the quad's brakes set, a gust of wind hit the hut, dragged the hut, me AND THE QUAD 3 or 4 feet.

One thing is for certain...  THE WIND BLOWS!

[crowkiller]

at least the wind blew your hut to you instead of the other end of the lake

[oakorchardfishking]

Just wanted to give a heads up... havent heard anything yet from D_balm
Hope he calls soon so I have time to go get bait!
Kinda getting the notion to scarp the idea though... all the conditions from the last 24hrs. are making me nervous about wasting a 2 hour drive for nothing!
As soon as I get the call, I will be sure to post it here for you all!

[gair-z]

Oak, we're waiting patiently.   

if ya can't make it out tomorrow c'mon down Monday.  we'll be there bright and early and staying for the duration (or as long as the beer holds out) 
and if ya can't make it Monday I think there's a bunch going Sunday also.  I think they drink beer too!

[fishincrazy]

Any one know if the ice is going to be good for 2-maro on quaker?  i want to to make the trip down just don't want to make a wasted trip.

[crowkiller]

we are all waiting for update just like you

[fishincrazy]

Who are we waiting on?

[crowkiller]

d-balm       

[oakorchardfishking]

Ok, gotta write this fast...wife and kids are waiting to go to dinner......

Derek called, he said the shore looks sketchy but if I can get ahold of Tim (hookedonice) and have him bring down planks, we should be alright!
Nick went out on it, didnt jump up and down, but said he put some weight into it and it held him.
They then proceeded to toss some big rogs and logs out onto it and none of them broke thru either.
They didnt drill any holes because they just got there and it is dark out there, so they cant see what they are doing! They were going camping... what, no flashlight???...lol
Well, there you have it... that is what we all have been waiting for!  Im still unsure!
