Hearthstone is supposed to get plowed out early next week. Roads got very icy a couple weeks ago when it rained then the cold hit, hasn't warmed up since.
Any info on vets or bixby? Driving up early in the morning. Will have my spud but would appreciate general ice thickness info.
someone went through off bixby today. Ice is very sketchy out there.
Off too a good start, first guided trip of the year was a cold one but we had some action on the jig rods, including this laker at just about 30"; released to grow bigger. Didn't find the pike one of the guys really wanted to catch.
I was off Bixby yesterday and came off about noon with about 15 nice perch. I didn't see anyone go through so it must have happened after I left. Ice was maybe 3" and moved quite a bit. When I came off there was a massive pressure crack about 50 ft from shore that wasn't there when I went on. Made it across with no problem but pretty scary. Stay safe everyone!
It was late afternoon. My friends uncle and his buddy were out there. They were jigging sitting on buckets, and his uncle turned around and his buddy was in the lake.
Can anyone speak about the difference between the north end of the lake and the south end of the lake? I've never spent any time south of bolton but i normally fish north of hague beach between friends pt and rogers campground.. I hardly ever see anyone else on the lake. Maybe 5 people over in blairs bay, 5 peeople max out in front of indian kettles and thats it. The dudes in front of the kettles are never social or nice..most likely locals. I drove the entire length of the lake from hague down to the village and there were 40 people out from bolton beach area, 10 people out in front of algonquin, 40 people out in front of the village.. is there more fish in the south basin than the north? is it access? Is it thicker ice? I'm still going to fish my north end of the lake even if the numbers aren't there, but I'm 29 yrs old with 5 years ice experience and i'm curious as to why i see the heavy population of people down south vs north.
Wow must have been a day for small fish caught 1 short laker 2nd of the season also got some dink perch and a bunch of dink crappie.thought maybe I was on to something with these elusive LG crappie but if I can't find 1 over 9" mite as well not catch them
