Well we re going to give the area another shot .............I would believe that not much has changed since last weekend , but if so if anyone knows something we should be aware of please post ..........thnx
So it was a bust for us , had two hit's and that was it , drove over the crack and went out around 2.5 miles . Heard for another party that had gone to the pressure ridge ? they got six fairly quick , but they have the electronic device ( Vexilar ) ......apparently there fish were suspended ...4 to 6 feet ? ......Might have to look into one myself , long drive for good time , fish being the bonus ....................hi t Gull lake on the way back , i small pike ( back in the hole ) two small perch and a bunch of bait robbers .............nice day except for that dang wind .....................t ight lines
Was going to head out today but that wind is way to strong I think to be sitting on a slab of ice ! I hope I made the right call as the season is almost over and the son wants to try and catch a walleye over twenty four inch's .......Anyone been out lately ? the last time we were there the crack was wide an heaved , saw many shacks coming off with guys driving over these heaves .........want to at least hit it one more time before it ends
I was out on Saturday the 18th because I saw the wind forecast for Sunday the 19th. No problem getting around and the famous Balsam crack was closed up. I was surprised that there was no water on the surface after all that rain and the hot sun beating down on the ice. The overnight lows are helping. It was noticeable though, while drilling, that the 30 inches of ice is now getting soft.Suppose to head out tomorrow........hoping for another good fish day!Blue Igloo
did you head out of balsom? Looking to try my first time on big windy this weekend on a trip to Winnipeg. Anyone want to meet up on saturday?
Was there last Sunday , managed three ......a bit windy but after a while it calmed down and was good , ice was still 40 inch;s , a few snow patch's left , a lot of people looking for and crossing the crack ? When we left there was a gathering of 8? people within 150 feet of the landing and they were catching ? we might head out Sunday for one final try , but will try closer to the shore line as well ......they should be moving in by now I'd think ? Anyone been there this week ? anything change ??
