I did go today. It was pretty tough sledding. Few guys on Smith
Kabele's is a nice place. Great bait store and lots of good tackle/items. People are mostly friendly. Here is the problem with Kabele's. They are pretty fake about a lot of things.......actually most things if I am truthful. Anything they do is to get you INTO the bait shop to BUY stuff. I understand, that is how you make money and They want people to stop in. What is a joke.....how they do it and approach stuff. They "claim"they want to help people be safe....yet it's has to do with coming into their shop for info.....95% of the fishing info is NEVER accurate typically even false besides ice conditions reportsFor example they complain people were calling in for ice information.....they were to busy you need to stop into the shop....yet they do a weekly posting on FB.....but a weekly ice report on the phone is dangerous because things change in an hr....I mean here is the reply they gave me when I mentioned it. I mean Stan's no problem.....he'll give ice reports and information.....if you want to "know" about the bite....he simply says you need to stop and look at the board. Thing about Stan's.....his board is usually pretty close to what you experiance.
They have posted plenty of old pictures too. They’ve posted up fish pics that they’ve posted on previous years. They haven’t lately since they got called out on it pretty bad last year. They would post a bunch of perch pics and it worked-folks would flood em. Then they head out to the lake and not catch crap. Kabeles is out of the way for 95% of the fisherman at the IGLs. They do what they have to do. They say stop In for a report, only there is no report other than “people are catching them at place X. Some days are better than others and you got to be willing to move around”. Well no sh@$ Sherlock.
Anyone been out on East or Spirit yet? I've been watching the Park's live camera and see East being locked up! I'm sure the warm spell tomorrow won't help any, but after that, the forecast looks pretty good!
Been gin clear on West”0” all through this year and should continue into the winter. If I remember correctly, zebra mussels help to clean the water.
