Anybody ice fishing on clear lake?

IAEYE · « **Reply #903 on:** Dec 01, 2010, 09:24 PM »

I don't think so. By thursday or friday it should be good. The geese have a spot open in the center so if go be careful.

icefisher4 · « **Reply #904 on:** Dec 01, 2010, 09:35 PM »

im really gettin anxious to get out there and start drilling holes...and get a line in the water. Anybody over on the ventura side?

nick858 · « **Reply #905 on:** Dec 01, 2010, 09:59 PM »

thats what im thinking! itd be good to get out there before everyone starts gettin out...i gotta find a good place for my permie

Hold your horses. Plenty of time left. The lake is still full of open water holes everywhere.
I wouldn't even think about walking out on the ice this week much less dragging an auger and gear out and punching a hole in this hymen.

Just my .02 and I'm a hundred feet from the lake here in my office.

nick858 · « **Reply #908 on:** Dec 02, 2010, 06:51 AM »

That makes more sense as to why nobody is fishing. I looked at the live camera and it looked like some open water out there.

CrappieBuster · « **Reply #909 on:** Dec 02, 2010, 07:10 PM »

I found a good 4 inches on the little lake today. 2 other shacks out there. Still a few small open areas you wanna keep an eye on. Fishin was slower than hell. Good to get back on the lake again though.

IAEYE · « **Reply #910 on:** Dec 02, 2010, 08:32 PM »

The geese have been keeping it open in spots. Most of the little lake is 4 to 5 and if you can find some fish you will catch them. Be safe.

It's gonna be very dangerous out there for awhile. With several inches of new snow forecasted there will be thin spots where the geese and ducks kept it open so be careful.

CrappieBuster · « **Reply #913 on:** Dec 03, 2010, 02:56 PM »

If that forecast is correct the winds will pickup to 20-30 and blow all that white stuff off there.

I went out on the lake for the 1st time this year there was a solid 6 inches. Did not see a fish until 4:45 then had a short 15 min bite, only managed to land 2 yellows out of a dozen hits. Not a real fast start but still great to be out!!! trying again in morning

Big Blue · « **Reply #915 on:** Dec 05, 2010, 05:49 AM »

We lucked out and only got 1.4" of snow. With this cold snap it's gonna make ice now. Go fish.

ScaleHusker · « **Reply #916 on:** Dec 05, 2010, 06:21 AM »

I'm in route with a couple buddies, one stop at the crazy minnow and we'll be poppin holes. First time out this year. I'll post the action later, tight lines fellas.

Big Blue · « **Reply #917 on:** Dec 05, 2010, 10:45 AM »

I drove by little lake this morning and counted 8 shacks out there. Use the McIntosh State Park entrance.

luckydog35 · « **Reply #918 on:** Dec 05, 2010, 11:00 AM »

Out this morning for 3 hrs only managed 12 small walleyes and 1 perch. Fished in 9' to 12'. Several people out so lets here some reports.

ScaleHusker · « **Reply #919 on:** Dec 05, 2010, 06:40 PM »

Stayed out all day only managed some cigars and a perch. Partners were roughly the same with a couple yellows mixed in. Good ice 5-7 inches. The big lake should be well on its way to fishable by next weekend

walleyewinder23 · « **Reply #920 on:** Dec 05, 2010, 06:46 PM »

i might be headed up there for a day in a couple weeks, where would you guys recommend i go for yellows and perch? maybe walleye?

icefisher4 · « **Reply #921 on:** Dec 05, 2010, 08:50 PM »

just depends on if the big lake freezes...i went out today for a few hours and only little cigar but was markin them on the electronics and was getting bites just never hooked em...should pick up a little more the ice was about 5-7 inches thick and saw about 10 other guys out too...i will be headed back out sometime soon...temps tomorrow will make some good thick ice on the lake...

CrappieBuster · « **Reply #922 on:** Dec 06, 2010, 10:31 AM »

Ah Oh! No report back yet. That can't be good.

JCrawford · « **Reply #925 on:** Dec 07, 2010, 01:46 PM »

Guesing that means the bite is great... Or he fell in.

CrappieBuster · « **Reply #926 on:** Dec 07, 2010, 02:12 PM »

Caught so many cigars I couldnt keep track of them. One just shy of 14 definetly looking skinny poor lil dude looked like he hadnt ate since march. Plenty of ice over there for wheelers the least I found was 7 inches even in the channel area. Didnt catch a single yellow though which is very very odd.

She was around 4 degrees when I left the lake . Its getting about time to get the big house out there. Should be driving out with pickups in a week or less. Stay safe guys.
