If you are talking about these 2 figures out there, they have been there for a week. Part of the racetrack for the snowmobile drags coming up.

Went out to measure snow. Got 9-10 inches here near Lakeport. And it appears to be fairly dense, so should make for excellent snowmobile traveling. Couldn't stand how bumpy the ice has been so far this year.

Zeker when and where are these snowmobile drags?  thanks.

[Dawg05]

I am assuming south shore access site by Bridgeport will be plowed by tomorrow morning… anyone fishing out of there today?

[DeadEyez]

Still coming down pretty good in Constantia.

We got nearly a foot here on SE shore after .3" of rain. See a few sleds getting around. 14 degrees and dropping this wet snow might tighten up a little.  I'm sure there is some slush under the snow.

just got off bite was ok at least a foot of snow some spots with slush under the snow but no issues with getting around on sled walking well thats your call but it will be very tough to say least , wheelers with chains maybe but i think they will struggle for sure

[2muchleft]

Thanks for the reports guys.  Looks like I'll wait a few days for some machine trails to harden up to follow out on foot.

[Db1]

Thanks onieda 1 for the updates i am walking so i also will wait for more sled tracks

[Chowdaire]

Yep. Just got done cleaning it up. Probably 11-13" on the NE side.

And congrats to your buddy on that perch, mcully. That's a slaunch

[elrodalonzo]

Thanks for the info Zeker.

[trapper2000]

Nice perch - thats how you guys measure ?  With those things with lines on them .... no wonder you don't catch the 15" ers.  SMH

 

[Ascott3006]

[trapper2000]

[chummer16]

Can you go to Williams when your done at Chapman.

[oneida1]

[Greenhornet73]

Good to know thanks. I’m thinking of doing a night trip but will choose a spot with minimal walking and go lightweight

I only use a sled for ice fishing.So I don’t have much time on them and have never been out there in deep snow.Any advice to keep from burying it?

X2 - it is a real mess out there. I got buried at my first stop too and I had packed a trail before I stopped.

Second stop I unhooked the shack and pulled the sled away from my holes.

I think I burned more gas this morning than I have all season.

Pack a trail where you want to stop by circling back on your track. Then when you stop, unhook the sled from your shanty and pull the sled away from where you are fishing.

Thanks.As always reeleyz you advice and help is much appreciated.

[KingPerch]

Im glad to hear you guys got back to shore ok!!! I managed to get to my first stop without much struggle with my sled, went to move to another stop and buried my sled in a deep drift. Took nearly 30-40 minutes to dig it out. I travel a lot like reeleyz does in that slushy mess. First time ever getting stopped to a complete stop out there.

To the two 🤡🤡 who thought it was epic and funny to clap and take pics of my issue out there, I 👏 applaud you for being real standup sportsman and citizens for not attempting to help someone who was in need of help!! Good work 🤡🤡!!!

By the way, after I got myself to shore, I grabbed a shovel and commenced to walk 150 yds back out to help another guy who was in trouble with a friend with their stuck machine. Only to have them yell to me, that they were all set. They saw me unbury my sled already. And, that I didn’t need anymore exercise!! 😁 it’s wet and deep out there guys! Plan ahead if you decide to venture out. I did see a gas hole between Willard island and Taft bay access. I didn’t get cords for it, sorry!!!

[lowaccord66]

Sounds like a hell of a trip Larry.  People are crazy huh?!

[KingPerch]

I have other choice words for crazy people, Jon!!  Here is not the place to share them!!😁
