I fished rockwood yesterday and there's not a flake of snow on the lake where I was. Creepers and wheelers are the way to go. had 6 inches of  black ice in spots and 18 inches of white ice 100 feet away. The snowmobile trails are down to dirt. They have less snow up there than I have in Augusta. Any one that said the sledding is good might want to check again. @) Oh and the fishing was awesome.

If you're going to bring a sled, Hazzy, might want an air-cooled one, and one that is picked.   Last year, many folks were having over-heating issues with their liquid cooled sleds since the lake had practically no snow on it!

What lodge do you guys stay at? I'm still new to icefishing and really wanted to go on this trip. Was telling a buddy about this site and how Team Maine was going to Moosehead that weekend and how I'd love to go and he said it sounded awesome. That's when he lets me know he has a camp on moosehead. Said we can stay there for the weekend. I'm trying to figure out where you guys will be in relation to his camp.

It took me a little longer than I thought to find out when I can be there, but it's all sorted out now.  I'll be coming up on the 26th and leaving after fishing on the 28th.  I'll be leaving later that evening.  Are the cabins reserved for the night of the 25th?  If they are I'd come up then.  Sending my deposit out now.  2 nights 30 dollar deposit right?

Snowmobile Trail Report
January 9, 2011

The lake has been frozen for three weeks now. I was flying on the ice yesterday. 8 to12  inches of good ice now with with 2 inches of powder on it. The lake is marked and opened from The Birches to Mt Kineo as of today. There is some good riding on the Mt Kineo side of the lake now from The Birches, with some good riding to NE Carry and to Raymonds Restaurant and store. Good access to Pittston Farm from Raymonds Store. The Ragged trail is really good too. Riding is good to Kokadjo on plowed road with snow groomed back in. I rode these trails yesterday and the riding was real nice, considering the snow amounts. It has been cold..

this is my attack plan  I like it under the mt!

What lodge do you guys stay at? I'm still new to icefishing and really wanted to go on this trip. Was telling a buddy about this site and how Team Maine was going to Moosehead that weekend and how I'd love to go and he said it sounded awesome. That's when he lets me know he has a camp on moosehead. Said we can stay there for the weekend. I'm trying to figure out where you guys will be in relation to his camp.

We will be staying at lawrences camps  just off the abinacki rd   and it isnt far from the boat launch  spenser bay is basically draw a line across with the moody islands in the middle we are on the west side of ya depending on the ice  its a favorite trail of Linguinis!Now I dont really know that area as Im 4 hrs north of there  Id give you the gps coor of where we are going to be  but for some reason   prob skill of the operator the numbers do not match with gps and google earth   but gps puts me back on the exact spot   so gps # work for me and my use

google earth give you this for the exact location of the lodge:

Lol. That sounds like a ride and a half. One buddy is bringing his fan-cooled snowmobile(I'd told him how I'd read you guys said the liquid-cools were overheating if there was no snow on the lake), my other buddy is bringing his ranger, and I'm gonna be on the chained wheeler. I'm gonna try to get them over to visit y'all. My buddy that owns the camp said there is a 12xsomething shack up there we can just pull on the lake. His camp is on the water. But I definitely want to make the trip and meet up with you guys. Our plan is to leave Friday morning bright and early get up there and get to the good times.

talked with the guys at Lawrences today reference 4 wheelers...
they said it should be ok if I stay on packed trails...
he did say with the drifts I could get it stuck though....
definately SLED is the way to go but my buddies fell through so guess i will bring the wheeler along.
if i can't use it i may be bumming a ride out to wherever we are fishing...
