Got a couple friends new to ice fishing borrowing my gear today and heading out to EB. If you see them out there (two guys, one girl, and one golden retriever) give them a hard time. Gave them a general layout on the lake but no detailed spots, just told them to stay out of the way of people on the lake who were there first. Figured they can start out the same way I did haha. Wish I didn't have to work today.

Lets all meet up one of these days and figure out east bass....ive got some knowledge of the lake.  Ive always parked on the peninsula at a camp to access the area i fish seeing its a ways from the public launch.  I now have a 4 wheeler and snowmobile so im not limited on walking distance areas only anymore.  Lets get together and turn the lake into swiss cheese....i know theres awesome fishing to be had just gotta find it!   :tipup:

Big Arn, If you ever see a guy pullin a blue clam flip over and a red Eskimo power auger, i'm game...would love to put our heads together and punch some holes in the ice.  With my lakemaster card, we can see the structure under our feet before we drill...find some honey holes!

I myself can't wait till sunday, gonna try East Bass for the first time on hardwater this year, we'll see what the new tip up will bring and see if I can't find some gills and a perch or crappie or 2.  I'll post a pic of my shack for those who may want to find me.

Went out on EB yesterday with a few friends. Had two guys with me that are pretty new to ice fishing so we set up a big group of tip ups and had flags all day. Real fun but we were hoping to get something a littler bigger. Still had a great time even though the wind and ice were brutal. We had a 9.5 inch sucker on one rig hoping to get something large and caught a 15in pike on it...

Went out this morning, bumped into a few nice fellow anglers.  Caught one small redear, put him back, caught 3 small perch, put them on the tip-ups.  Ended up with a 24" and 28 incher for the table.  Sled pulled so easy on that smooth ice.

Man this brings back some old memories.I was in the AF at KI from 75-83. Retired from there.I fished those lakes a ton but always open water. Fishinf on bass was always a blast in the spring. So many bass and bluegill. And as always the mosquito's were so bad.

Anyone curious, the ice was honeycombed the 1st 6 inches with 6 inches of solid ice under that.  BRINK CLEATS!

That ice was glass when we were out there. I took a hard fall when going out to get a tip that went off. I would also recommend cleats.

I live on KI Bee, I'm sure you have wonderful memories up here, but the place would turn your stomach now.  Where I live is one of the last nice neighborhoods on base.  Alot of it is now rundown or abandoned.  Sad.

My father retired from K.I. Sawyer back in 78 so I was also able to enjoy the lakes around the Gwinn area. After my stint in the Air force I moved to colorado for about 18 years but I came back to my roots 3 years ago and been fishing here ever since. EB is a great place to fish but another must hit lake for me is Big Shag. Both lakes have produced just shy of 40" northerns for me and a few good size eyes as well.

Its been maybe 5 years since i was back for a visit. I always feel saddened when i visit. I now live very close to a Navy base that was closed a couple years ago. Its like all the people and planes left but all else is still here. Very different.

Got skunked on east bass today, had a couple pokes but no takers.  Mainly because I didn't feel like pulling my gear where I should have, there's 4 to 6 inches of snow on the ice and my 120# of gear felt like 200 even with the deer drag, good pooped, drilled some holes and drowned some waxies.  :-\

If you're ever on EB and see a shorter guy in full camo that drills a million holes with an Eskimo gas auger, it's me. I have fished that lake hard for several years. It isn't what it used to be just two years ago but I still ice keeper panfish, pike, and some nice perch consistently. I have iced multiple  pike around and a little over 30in, nothing huuuuge though. PM me or find me on the ice if you ever are curious about the lake!

We are hitting the jig it tourney tomorrow in Esky, then Gogebic next week. After that I'm looking forward to hitting EB and some other Gwinn Lakes.
Do you fish Sporley often?

Fished the Jig-it for the last 5 years, taking this one off.  Fishing in the boat harbor, 9 feet of water, fishing was too slow, only 1 perch caught last year with over 400 lines in the water.  Hope you have better luck.  ;D  Used to fish Sporley, then I caught both of them and don't go out there anymore. I'm really leaning towards big shag in the morning.
