MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Where there any machines going out of Chapman?How about bait near by.Since Cookies closed I’ve only traveled farther east and gotten bait from Lake Side Outfitters.Just hate to back track.
Chowdaire those are mayfly larva.
Saw a few machines out. I had my snowmobile. Lakeside outfitters for bait.
Fished out of Chapman this morning. Ice is beat up directly in front of the launch area but it is fine to the right as you are heading out. Fished 20-22fow and caught 4 keeper walleye and a few shorts as well as 8 perch between 2 guys. Black and chrome #5 jigging rap worked best for us. Lots of marks but only a few takers.
Do you put any bait on your jigging raps I got a bunch and all I can catch is the side of the hole
Skinny being mobile is a plus , just give plenty of room around creek mouths and any islands you may pass
Heading to Oneida tomorrow for my birthday. Never actually ice fished this lake and am going to scratch it off the list before i get any older. Was thinking of going out of Chapman. Just looking for the best ice and not sure if Chapman is the best access. Not worried about the fishing much but is that the best access to good ice at this point or is there safer ice elsewhere? I've been skunked this year more than any year I can remember so I'm ok with less fish just want to be safe out there. Got a machine but willing to walk. Gonna be there tomorrow and Wednesday. Any info for best ice would be appreciated. Pm me or post here please.
Fishing tomorrow from the South Shore. My last hurrah. I’ll post reports and conditions. Looks like early next week some warm temps coming….
I can't view the reports and conditions page for Oneida. Only time in my life I needed that thread and it's gone! Lol
