nice, about how much does your shack weigh? looking to bring ours out there next week out of the boat launch. any spots of concern in that area when you went out? thanks in advance.

our group of 10-12 will be fishing a bit south of the campground in Northville east side of the lake

looks like the lake is shaping up nicely. a buddy of mine that travel the lake everyday on his way to work said there are a lot of shanties out. him and one of his buddies are taking theres out tomorrow morning.

We are expecting temps in the 50s sat and sun here in Ct. I would think you guys are going to be in the 40s for a few days. the snow on the lake acts as an insulator of cold and heat. a few days in the 40s is not going to melt all the ice it took half a month to make. Next monday things are going back to cold weather
One of my friends from Virginia is coming with me to the Challenge, he has never even walked on ice,let alone ice fished.Its going to be alot of fun. I am counting the days

o2rmk800 · « **Reply #132 on:** Jan 12, 2013, 03:10 PM »

I would say call and ask where, my guess would be at fuel and food.

deweyicefish · « **Reply #133 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 06:21 AM »

how much ice are you guys losing with the worm temps ?

octanehi5 · « **Reply #134 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 07:38 AM »

The Ice on the lake was iffy at best before the high temps,Yes a few guys are fishing,at least 4 atv's have gone in.I'm sure there is lots of water on top.by next weekend it should be all good to go. Some guys will tell you its ok and some will tell you its not ready.The stories about the atv's makes it not ready for me.All the more Walleye's I catch during the Challenge. better to be safe than sorry

Quackstacker14 · « **Reply #135 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 11:31 AM »

Was on mayfield this morning and it gained another 2" since I fished it last week so despite the arms temps the lakes should be ok with the colder air coming in this week.

o2rmk800 · « **Reply #136 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 12:09 PM »

oh yeah we were also cutting 7-8" where we checked today.

Quackstacker14 · « **Reply #137 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 12:31 PM »

Jim at the bait shop said 6" off Sinclair and it's a go

Lake is shot here in cranberry creek!

o2rmk800 · « **Reply #139 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 04:09 PM »

where bouts peterc, we went out from the regulating station today and the lake was still in good shape. we were cutting 7-8", with about 1" of that being white

Peter_C · « **Reply #140 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 04:21 PM »

That might be true over there but we have major ice breaking up about 100 yards from shore coming from deer island going towards lanzis very dagerous out there right now pulled the shack back in..

octanehi5 · « **Reply #141 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 04:21 PM »

Good to hear the ice seems to be holding on,Anywhere on the lake were water flows in should be avoided. One more warm day to go.then back to normal.Outlook is to have cold temps into 1st week in feb

o2rmk800 · « **Reply #146 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 05:00 PM »

we crossed a bunch of spots like this today and one was about 2' wide and id was solid black ice and in most cases was thicker than the areas covered by white ice.

Peter_C · « **Reply #147 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 05:12 PM »

I know but if you tried to walk across these ice chunks you would have had problems as they were all floating seperatly just barley got across them with the shack

o2rmk800 · « **Reply #148 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 05:14 PM »

I agree it dangerous, but we walked over 2 or 3 of these where we were and they were solid. now the pressure ridge on the other hand was fun.
