alright mr creature... how did u do this weekend at stinkin linkin...how much ice, how much snow on the ice, etc. DETAILS !!!! hahahaha

thecreature · « **Reply #122 on:** Mar 02, 2015, 08:15 AM »

I fished Lincoln both Saturday and Sunday. Fishing was really slow. Actually the slowest I've ever experienced there. One 22" Pike on Saturday and nothing on Sunday (was only there for 3hr Sunday). The Ice is about 3ft thick and snow cover is variable. Most places have at least a ft with drifts up to 3ft! I fished near the island so I didn't have to drag my gear very far from the car. I did see a nice healthy looking Red Fox cross the ice about 100yd from my shanty on Sunday. That was pretty cool.

awesome thanks. that sucks that it was slow. seems that way all around. what were u using? I figured the ice was about 3 ft. damn I need to find a gas auger!!!!

thecreature · « **Reply #124 on:** Mar 02, 2015, 08:57 AM »

fishy1 · « **Reply #125 on:** Mar 02, 2015, 09:05 AM »

thecreature · « **Reply #126 on:** Mar 02, 2015, 09:34 AM »

On Saturday there was a group out near the middle of the North side and on Sunday there was two guys near the road on the south side. I have no idea if they caught anything....

nitzer · « **Reply #127 on:** Mar 02, 2015, 10:09 AM »

well, im gonna have to show everyone how to catch em next weekend

nitzer · « **Reply #128 on:** Mar 03, 2015, 07:38 AM »

hey creature.... is there still too much snow for a 4 wheeler?

thecreature · « **Reply #129 on:** Mar 03, 2015, 07:56 AM »

If you have 4x4 you should be able to do it if you stay away from the drifts and try to stick to where the sleds have been. If you get off the packed tracks you would probably be done. The depth of snow is quite variable due to the drifting.

nitzer · « **Reply #130 on:** Mar 03, 2015, 07:59 AM »

ok. thanks. is there a lot of snowmobile tracks on the lake? ill be on the southern side

thecreature · « **Reply #131 on:** Mar 03, 2015, 08:35 AM »

I saw and heard a bunch of sleds over there this weekend. They were skimming the water under the bridge.

nitzer · « **Reply #132 on:** Mar 03, 2015, 08:39 AM »

hahaha. I see that a lot. how was it fishing in 3 ft of ice. not sure if I ever did that before

thecreature · « **Reply #133 on:** Mar 03, 2015, 09:04 AM »

Not too bad. You just need to make sure you account for that 3ft to get your bait to the depth you want it under the ice. It's a lot of work with a hand auger. Hope you have sharp blades if you are using one. My blades suck. It took me like an hour just to drill 5 holes! I might head back this weekend if I get some new blades or get my gas auger running better. No way I'm drilling through all that ice with my crappy auger again!

creature are you fishing north of the island or south of the island near the causeway. i plan on making it up there this weekend will stay clear of where you are if i know your direction. i will be going on directly from the house east of the island and planned on fishing in front of the house.

nitzer · « **Reply #135 on:** Mar 03, 2015, 09:56 AM »

you 2 better catch some damn fish!!! hahahaha. I have like 10 of us going up next weekend and hope to hear of some fish being caught

thecreature · « **Reply #136 on:** Mar 03, 2015, 10:01 AM »

I usually go on the west or south side of the island (between island and road). I think the fox I saw on Sunday went right up by your house! Near the pavilion looking thing on top of the hill.

fishy1 · « **Reply #137 on:** Mar 03, 2015, 02:39 PM »

not my house a freinds house. if im up there i will fish between the island and his house or a little north. i never know where im going to end up. but if im there your more than wlecome to sue my power auger.

thecreature · « **Reply #138 on:** Mar 07, 2015, 04:03 PM »

whats the latest on Lincoln creature? hows the conditions? slushy?

thecreature · « **Reply #144 on:** Mar 09, 2015, 08:52 AM »

We caught 2 small pike. Fished between the island and the road on the west side of the island. No slush at all but lots of snow!

nitzer · « **Reply #145 on:** Mar 09, 2015, 09:03 AM »

still 3 ft of ice? how much snow?

thecreature · « **Reply #146 on:** Mar 09, 2015, 09:52 AM »

Yep still 3ft of ice. Snow conditions haven't changed. Anywhere from 1-2ft depending on the drifting. Layer of crust on top.

how did your auger work?

nitzer · « **Reply #148 on:** Mar 09, 2015, 10:11 AM »

how small were the pike? length

thecreature · « **Reply #149 on:** Mar 09, 2015, 11:22 AM »

I went with a friend and we used his auger. Kefy mine home. Will get new bladed for the hand aufet and get the power auger tuned up for next season. One pike wsx about 17" the other was about 14". Tiny. Still had a good time hanging with my buddy. Not sure I will get back out in the hard water this year. I think I will start looking for salmon and steelhead in my local Champlain tributarys.
