I haven't checked for ice out there yet. Is there any?

noluckjoe · « **Reply #2 on:** Nov 12, 2011, 01:51 PM »

I wouldn't think so

ryder29 · « **Reply #3 on:** Nov 12, 2011, 01:57 PM »

That's what I was thinking, but I was just hoping for a miracle.

Anyone know what the ice is lookin like at bstrap?

engineman · « **Reply #6 on:** Nov 20, 2011, 07:15 AM »

2-3" of solid ice near shore. This cold weather will help

matiachuk · « **Reply #7 on:** Nov 20, 2011, 10:59 AM »

2 -3? Looks like I'm headin out this week.

coldazice · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 21, 2011, 07:22 AM »

i've done 2-3 on the strap before, please be certain its that black solid ice and not the snow filled fragile ice, it's the difference between fishing and swimming.

Engineman, by chance could you say how far out this 2-3" was?.

engineman · « **Reply #9 on:** Nov 21, 2011, 02:43 PM »

saskoutdoorsman · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 22, 2011, 06:27 PM »

will hopefully be going out tomorrow, there was 7 inches at the north end yesterday and it was solid clear ice, so thats good enough for me!!

IceEye · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 22, 2011, 07:10 PM »

Me and Matiachuk went out to the strap today for about 2 hours, the ice is okay, still not consistant yet. had a few bites and seen one swim by, was just good to get out anyways. good luck out there.

Hey Iceye

What part of the lake was it at south or north part looking at takin out my little guy tommorrow for some fun.

Thanks

IceEye · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 22, 2011, 08:38 PM »

we were on the south end today, at the second boat launch. we are wanting to head out again tomorrow afternoon, let me know what your plans are. where are you heading?

2fst4u · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 22, 2011, 08:53 PM »

Thinkin southend as well evans road or....bradwell. Checked it out the other day and it had 6"
of ice on the east end.

IceEye · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 22, 2011, 08:55 PM »

yes on the strap there was around 7 inches of ice pretty much everywhere we drilled. i would recommend ice cleats as there is no snow on the ice and the wind was blowin us all over the place.

IceEye · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 22, 2011, 10:46 PM »

yeah that sounds like a good plan. good luck tomorrow, we'll be out by 4:00

fishingfever32 · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 23, 2011, 12:08 AM »

you say there was 7" of ice on bradwell on the east end? And was there alot of people fishing on the strap at all

IceEye · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 23, 2011, 08:05 AM »

about 6 or 7, where ice was covered with snow it got a little thinner, and we were the only ones out there that we could see anyways.

engineman · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 23, 2011, 01:49 PM »

Was out today. Ice started off good, but by the end of our time the ice was completely covered by water. I think I'm going to be waiting till it freezes again before I try it.

matiachuk · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 23, 2011, 03:34 PM »

How did you do engineman?

engineman · « **Reply #26 on:** Nov 23, 2011, 04:12 PM »

3 or 4 bites but nothing through the hole.

IceEye · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 23, 2011, 06:15 PM »

me and matiachuk went out for a couple hrs today, wanted to try at evans road but there was alot of water on top of the ice so we wentto the north end and there was alot less so thats where we set up. ddrilled holes from about 5-18fow seen some fish again although they were not interested in our baits. nice to get out again! engine man were you the guy who was set up in a eskimo portable?

engineman · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 24, 2011, 06:47 AM »

nope. we had our flip up but not an eskimo. we were right off the second boat launch.

whale1979 · « **Reply #29 on:** Nov 24, 2011, 08:50 AM »
