Has anyone been out to the Pound yet. Is there even ice on the lake, if so...how thick??

poorfisherman · « **Reply #1 on:** Nov 18, 2011, 05:35 PM »

Plan on going out after ball tomorrow. Heard some guys have been on around the old causeway, don't know thickness.

steadyrippin · « **Reply #2 on:** Nov 18, 2011, 08:10 PM »

heard there is three inches at old causeway

poorfisherman · « **Reply #3 on:** Nov 18, 2011, 09:38 PM »

It will be closer to 4 by noon tomorrow with these temps.

i was out at the old cause way on the 13th just fishing the bit of open water i could but on the east side of the old cause way there was three guys drilling holes and fishing they said it was close to 3"!

poorfisherman · « **Reply #6 on:** Nov 19, 2011, 08:58 PM »

West side of old causeway - 7 to 8 inches

North side (camp) - 4 to 6 inches

Did not ice any fish had a bit of action on the camera but no interest.

Thanks for the ice updates guys.

poorfisherman · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 22, 2011, 06:06 PM »

So what you guys think, will the ice still be good tomorrow? I'm thinking a few days of warm weather can't hurt it that much.

2fst4u · « **Reply #9 on:** Nov 22, 2011, 06:10 PM »

Shouldn't hurt much just slower freezing time...happy fishin boys!

poorfisherman · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 22, 2011, 06:51 PM »

Should be on the ice by 1030, have a meeting first thing. I'll let you know how the ice has made out.

walleyeslayer1978 · « **Reply #11 on:** Nov 22, 2011, 07:25 PM »

I would say use some caution....plus nine or whatever its supposed to hit is quite warm. I would say the ice is a pretty consistant four inches more in some spots, but if the top couple inches turns to slush, you're that much thinner.

poorfisherman · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 22, 2011, 07:28 PM »

For sure I'm standing well over 6 feet so I stay in 5 FOW, might get wet. I will be driving by on my way home so I'll stop and check the ice, for no other reason would I go out tomorrow.

Boo-urns!

Stupid weather!!! If we get the warm temps that they are calling for the rest of this week, the ice will be melted by next week.

poorfisherman · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 23, 2011, 10:06 PM »

Hit up the prov park today, a good solid 6-7 inches of ice around boat launch. Had lots of perch on cam and one pike that made the smelt look big. To bad this weather is not going to cooperate over the next week.

eyecatcher00 · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 23, 2011, 10:18 PM »

good to hear there is that much ice . alot more than out at the fort. i dont think the weather will have that much affect on it seeing as how it will be freezing again at night in a couple days.

cbelsh · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 25, 2011, 02:28 PM »

How is the weather effecting the ice conditions??

poorfisherman · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 25, 2011, 11:35 PM »

It was getting soft on Wed. We are going to check it out tomorrow afternoon, I'll post when I get there.

cbelsh · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 29, 2011, 03:13 PM »

Thick enough to go hunting for some Perch, yet??

poorfisherman · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 29, 2011, 05:56 PM »

Guys have still been on and report 5 to 6 inches depending on location. The fattys are a biting, heading out t the prov park after work tomorrow. Mabey find some dusk eyes.

poorfisherman · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 30, 2011, 07:22 PM »

A good 6-8 inches, again depending on location. Iced one small pike and lost an unknown after work tonight. Fished for around an hour and a half. Nosiest ice Ive ever heard tonight, CRAZY loud and strange sounds. Wear some cleats or skates cause there is not a single skiff of snow to be found.

Goettler · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 01, 2011, 02:52 AM »

How is the perch bite? And size? Might head out Friday and/or Saturday afternoon!

pickle84 · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 01, 2011, 10:18 AM »

Is the pound all locked up straight through? or is their still lotsa open water?

poorfisherman · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 01, 2011, 06:00 PM »

She is all ice. Its nice clear no snow. I'd still be really cautious don't know what its like everywhere.

poorfisherman · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 02, 2011, 06:17 PM »

Good perch bite today kept 8, a little picky when the limit is 10. One pike and 2 eyes, saw lots of eyes nice to see.

Icehole9 · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 02, 2011, 06:22 PM »

Nice work poorfisherman. Did the snow stick around out there? It would be nice for a little traction. Im heading out there tomorrow.

poorfisherman · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 02, 2011, 06:46 PM »

With the snow/rain and the mild weather today the surface is roughed up a bit. Could have gotten away without the cleats today.

You caught two walleye? How sweet is that!

poorfisherman · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 02, 2011, 06:57 PM »

SUPER SWEET. Saw a bunch on camera. I have never caught an eye through the ice at Buffalo till today. I guess my theory of them getting on a ship and going to the moon for the winter was wrong. These fish were in the 14-15 inch range, now to find the big girls.

walleyeslayer1978 · « **Reply #29 on:** Dec 02, 2011, 07:01 PM »

I've only ever caught one. I wonder if more will be caught this winter due to the massive small perch die off that happened this spring.
