I would absolutely doubt machines as the shore ice has been iffy, ill be checking long Saturday alone with skegemog, and potentially a few others
Ive fished skegemog 4 times now and walked away with 1 keeper, seen some hogs pass by, but i just have bad luck there, i feel like its a body of water that benefits you to have knowledge of the lake, maybe im wrong who knows
Thinking about hitting the skeg tomorrow. Anyone know how the ice is holding up today? Id imagine its probably still ok for walking for now. Haven't fished there since about 5 years ago when me and my dad went out in an old clam pop up shanty. You know, the blue rectangle ones with the poles that pop out. Wind was probably blowing 20-30 mph that day and we didnt own a portable heater at that point. Nor did we own a flasher or sonar unit of any kind, a power auger, or any other high tech gear. And yet, we brought home a nice mess of 7-9 inch perch by sightfishing and pulling away from the dinks. Not the biggest fish but I was able to scrape some filets off them. Thanks to that trip and some bluegill fishing excursions in the area around that time I became addicted to ice fishing and now own thousands of dollars worth of gear lol.
Anyone have Skegemog ice conditions for foot travel?
