Well, Lake Manitoba today was a complete white out. Good thing we had the GPS and compass with us. All the new snow leveld everything. You could not tell where there were drifts, craks or ice pilled up untill you hit them. Unless the snow gets hard, 4x4's will have a tough time. Snowmobile is the way to go.
As for the fishing, it was very slow. Wind from the east no sun and not to to cold usually makes for a poor day out there. But anyway we gave it a try. Drilled holes in the first spot, 8 ft of water sat there for 30 min, not even a bite. Went further north a 1/2mile, caught 1 fish in 20min. Went further north about 1 mile, caugth nothing in 30min. Decided to go back to our initial holes put the line down and caught fish instantly, there was 3 of us and we left with 25 perch and a 5 pound northern pike which was nice.
Another group was out there and they did not do any better than us.
I think the fishing will get better yet!
