hows the ice ? not sure I think I heard a bad report about someone on this lake

slymer83 · « **Reply #571 on:** Jan 01, 2013, 03:41 PM »

Not that good yet ...

The lake is 3/4 open water with unsafe ice at the ends. A few guys fell thru on nearby Youngs Lake. All made it out ok, but terrible experience I'm sure. I strongly recommend letting all local waters ice over better this week before going out, and even next weekend be careful to check every step.

My father and I ran into him at the launch a couple years back. He actually seemed pretty decent, but it was a pretty crappy day and we were the only ones out. Plus for some reason, people seem to get along with my pops.

I can honestly say the air temp early this morning at Cando before the clouds rolled in flirted with the big goose egg.

TheSystem · « **Reply #584 on:** Jan 02, 2013, 07:34 PM »

I would be awful careful around that area, my weather station located 100ft off the boat launch is reading 36* water temp, which is a little high for this time of year still. I'm still waiting till saturday, like slymer said, tonight will help a lot.

FellThru82 · « **Reply #585 on:** Jan 03, 2013, 11:25 AM »

i agree they are in there. they really make you work for it and you have to go hard to connect good. tracking em down is the first part. i have a few spots up my sleeve to try on ice this year i learned this summer.

lil_coondog · « **Reply #591 on:** Jan 03, 2013, 06:53 PM »

Today's ice amount on Darago. About 3 inches. Hope the new snow doesn't start hurting it. Heading out in the morning for sure.

TheSystem · « **Reply #592 on:** Jan 03, 2013, 07:00 PM »

Guys - I know its cold and I know we're seeing ice out there, but the area's ice is not super safe - lets remember the guys out on neighboring Youngs last weekend, there was 4-5" there too, just not good ice. The areas along the eastern and northern shore are frozen pack ice, they iced up before this cold snap, that will not make great ice even when it looks solid. Not trying to scare anybody off, but remember to be careful out there. I will be out there too, north of the island, feel free to stop by, but please don't think that this weekend will be lake-wide safe ice. Good Luck out there and stay dry!

lil_coondog · « **Reply #593 on:** Jan 03, 2013, 09:02 PM »

Just showing everyone the ice conditions near me. I'm not encouraging everyone to go out and wander around. Always use caution and common sense. Good luck everyone. May your flags be plentiful.

Anyone catching any Walleye or Perch??? Is anyone going out on the ice this weekend???

RTF · « **Reply #598 on:** Jan 04, 2013, 04:29 PM »

I was at the lake today to just check it out. Saw some guys on the ice, one guys was just south south of Hyder creek. Another guy was off from bakers beach. At the boat launch I ran into a guy coming in who just went to check. He was out there far with his spud but said he punched right through with one swipe. Closer to share was good he said with almost 6 inches which was mostly white ice. there is no bait in Schuyler at Gas Way. The owner said he was hoping for a delivery soon but could not confirm he would have any spikes by weekend. However Kellys deli on the corner of Rt 20 and RT 80 has plenty of spikes and mousees.

BIGJim223 · « **Reply #599 on:** Jan 04, 2013, 06:42 PM »

Tom and Kelly's at Rt 20 and 80, Springfield Ctr, was supposed to have fatheads, shiners, spikes, etc as of Thursday. Can't confirm that they got the minnows as I did not ask today.
