Made my way to EB today, on the sled and wow, I now have the notion to get there tomorow for some pike fishing. Met some great people from skandia and also another fella that has a house on the lake. Fun to hang with them for a few and chat. Sending a pic of my sled on the frozen tundra.  ;)

Ya, I heard one tiny perch won last year. lol. That is insane.
It's my first time getting out this year too.
I will post how it turns out.

5 fish caught for the whole tourney. I didn't catch any of them.
Still a great time though.

If I only had a sled, I'd get to where the fish are, with 6 inches of snow on the lake, my loaded down trap is too hard to pull that far...Glad you had a good time, wish I could make it out tomorrow, too many other things to do..Good Luck!  ;D

Headed out on East Bass tomorrow for those elusive big pike.
Would you do me the honor of accompanying me to my ice shanty tomorrow?

If you go out to the right of that peninsula out there, run a tip up with some big sucker or shiners in about 10 f.o.w....you'll see flags.   I was about 100 yards from the point, about 75 yards from that silver permanent out there.  He's a nice guy too by the way.

Caught only two pike today on Bass, had one at the 24 inch mark, half of the fish had been swallowed by a even larger fish. The pike had bite marks and jaw marks all the way around its body up to its mid back, so that means some monsters are lurking around if they are hitting 24 inch pike.

Just for additional info had a huge fish at Engmans lake on a tip up, it snapped a fourty pound braided line, no idea what it was but the line went out and I pulled my brother in- law yanked on the line and fought the fish for about the seconds and then the line snapped. About a hundred feet off the launch.

Dont be surprised if you do get one of those monsters in and it a Muskie.  Got a couple friends that live on that lake and fish it a lot.  Not 100% sure, one of them saw a huge fish under his dock he swears looked like a Muskie but it bolted before he got a better look at it.  The other has hooked into a monster a few years back that pulled jim around for a while before cutting through his steel leader.  Never got a positive ID on it but swears its was bigger than any big pike he has landed.  DNR did plant Tigers in there from '83-'91 so there could be a few left over and would be absolute beasts by now.

How much ice is on East Bass?


Tell me and I'll forget. Show me and I'll remember some of it. Involve me and I will have lifetime knowledge.

I have fished this lake many, many times and yes been stuck with snotrockets more than I care to count. But I have hooked into a few that have given me no chance of landing them. There is huge trophy's to be had and I will pursue them every chance I can. Just gotta be persistant. The fact of hearing about 24" northerns with bite marks half way up their their torso is not a fallacy, I have seen it multiple times. The big ones are there and even though they are elusive, they are there, be the hunter and you shall find. :)

My lady and I will be headed out to EB tomorow (2-3-2013) in the morning, going to pursue those elusive monster predators. If you get a chance and happen to be out there yourself, stop on by and say hello. It should be a blast for sure.

Quantumm, I was fishing for perch, only got two...they were extremely finnackY(?) Was still nice to get out though.  Momma already made plans for me or I'd try to meet you out there on EB.  Love running tip ups on that lake, there are definately some big uns in there! With the snow though..can't get out there far enough, my gear is too heavy to drag out to the peninsula where prefer to go.  Good luck to you!

Fully understood about being a trek if you have no means to hitch a ride somehow. Perhaps we can set up a time, and with my snowmobile, we can get you out a little further so you can enjoy the prime spots. I also have some prime locations on Johnson lake you can try, but then again, you are in the same pickle as before, the spots are a ways from the boat landing as well.

Well, I am once again giving EB another shot. On Super Bowl Sunday, my lady and I had no bites but did manage to pull up a crawdad, so not necessarily skunked. Today I've been here about an hour and had a couple good bites but in it today for the long haul. Finally got my strikemaster 1200 dp electric so punching holes will be a lot easier. UPDATE, just pulled in a couple snotrockets but nothing to brag about. If anyone comes out here today, look me up. Chillin just s/e of the peninsula, I've got beer, lol.

Hoping to have my permi out on EB this coming Saturday, which I am really excited about. Hopefully the ice will remain strong for another week or at least til the end of pike/eye season. If you see us, stop on by and so yo. @_@.

Is the parking lot at the launch plowed at all?  I want to use my snowmobile to pull all my crap out there and I need some room to park a truck and enclosed trailer.  If not plowed, can I at least turn around somewhere?  Hoping to get out there this weekend.

Was there a couple days ago, was not plowed but was hard packed enough to get a vehicle all the way around (and some room for parking).
You could put probably get your truck and trailer around the loop but it might be tight. Otherwise there should be room to back into the lot off diretcly off Seass to get turned around.

I took a ride out there today to check it out.  I didn't have my trailer but I did have my plow on the truck so I just went ahead and plowed the lot out.  It would still be a little tight going around the loop with my trailer but I think if I go the wrong way in the loop I will have lots of room to turn around and park and then go out the right way.  Hopefully soon.
