Thanks for the info ShawnR. Yeah, I thought that Lewis Creek might be a bit dry this time of year. Always neat to check out new spots and on LML, there can be quite a few new spots to check. Speaking of new spots, do any of you ice fish at Big Arm Bay? If so, do you fish off the 2 main beaches, go further back into the small bay by bridge, or even further back into the big bay it's self.I would guess most of the lake species should be found in that area. WW
Then it's settled I will live at the lake for a month until I catch a big walleye.
Have fished that area too. Early in the year you'll see lots of shacks right where you drive on there in the bay. I have not witnessed anyone fishing too far back in the bay. I have no idea what there is for depth back there. Most shacks end up on the main lake straight out from the bay in about 30 feet of water. Again seems like mostly pike and perch in these areas with a few burbot.
Make sure you take some bananas
wait a minute are bananas good luck on ice too? I thought they were just good luck on a boat? Do i NEED 1600 bananas or will one or two do??
All I can say is wow! The old man and I went to LML to try our luck. It was a slow start but, by 1030am until 2pm we landed 14 pike and 9 eyes. We marked them all in 8ft of water. The biggest eye around 5lbs and pike 4lbs. We kept a few pike and 3 eyes for a tasty meal. Had a great day with my dad, good time well spent.
up that way here a couple of days ago and guys were driving on. That being said don't assume, do some drilling to make sure for yourself.
I wouldn't be driving over ANY heaves with a truck at this point... Or long travels... Drilled several holes today that were 6" Someone will put a truck in this weekend just hope no one dies....
