Is there a trail pounded out at the regional yet or is it still tough to get out?

Hopefully they turn on in March when the weather warms up.

... or 'if' the weather warms up!

Rowan’s Ravine Provincial Park just out from boat launch across from beach. 6 perch, a tullibee and a dog fish.

Wicked cold with the wind, but hard side shack kept all the weather out. About 32 inches of ice... not much length left on the auger with a 12 inch extension.

Best times were 11:30 to about 1:00 and. A bit more action at 2:30 - 3:30. Lots of fish on the camera but not a great bite.

The wind over the last few days seems to have moved some of the snow off the ice and there a some small bare patches that makes drilling a bit easier.

anyone know what the boat launch at Collingwood is like getting on is like

workingdad · « **Reply #154 on:** Mar 08, 2019, 07:33 AM »

Has anyone been out to Etters in the last few day? Was wondering if the access to the lake is blown in or not? Should a guy be packing chains this weekend or will a 4x4 be enough? Had heard rumors of it being tough to get on to since last snow fall and winds. Thanks

North end boat launch in regional park is the best way to get on the ice

Was hoping to get out to Midway area next week. Anyone know if the Burbot are on yet or how access is at Midway?

Was out there yesterday. No signs of burbot. Only marked 2 fish all day, which I believe were tullibees? fished from 10am -3:30pm. Access is good!

Anyone fishing sarni lately?

Or tripple t
Heading there tuesdayp

BigO · « **Reply #160 on:** Mar 10, 2019, 11:18 PM »

Thanks for the report jignjim. Burbot run might be a bit later this year with the long cold snap.

Foozie · « **Reply #161 on:** Mar 11, 2019, 02:46 PM »

Fished Sarnia and south towards the Island on Sunday. We were targeting pike and had several tip ups set up between the 5 of us from depths ranging
12-18ft and it was a slow day. Managed 3 pike and a dogfish. 2 pike were in the 8-9lb range and the burbot was healthy as well at about 7lbs.
Beautiful day but slow fishing. Ice depth was to the crankcase on my eskimo but I didn't need to put on the extension so should be ok for the rest of the season.
Lake is suprisingly good to get around on, the drive on at sarnia has a good trail but it is a bit deep from being blown in and busted open a few times.
No issues for a truck though.
We'll giver another go this weekend and see what happens.

sarnia has been absolutely terrible fishing this year. fished it about 10 times this winter lucky if we got more than 1 fish per day per person, and mostly just the odd perch, tulibee, or dink walleye. not a single flag all year, no pike. 1 nice burbot. tried all areas and depths around sarnia, its all slow. dont want to keep going back but its just the most convenient spot for me and my friends to meet.

Foozie · « **Reply #163 on:** Mar 12, 2019, 09:13 AM »

Dooman do you fish north at all up by Whiterock or even North of that some and then south towards the Island?
Your right though it's been a terrible year and not just Sarnia but LML in general and I hear the other lakes haven't faired much better.

If a person didn't love it so much it would be pretty easy to give up if you were basing it on the amount of fish your catching.
keep trying is all we can do. Good luck with the rest of the month.

To early to work on a farmer tan?

jayg · « **Reply #165 on:** Mar 13, 2019, 07:43 PM »

Thats about all you are going to get on that lake right now is a tan so might as well.

rapripper · « **Reply #166 on:** Mar 16, 2019, 08:46 PM »

Haven’t been out since Jan ... does a guy need auger extension or still ok without?
How’s island/Sarnia/wee tee north been?
Thanks

jayg · « **Reply #167 on:** Mar 17, 2019, 05:41 AM »

If you have a 42 inch auger you don't need an extension but it's close.

EVAN NIM · « **Reply #168 on:** Mar 17, 2019, 08:43 PM »

Headed to sarnia tomorrow.. any ridges to keep An eye out for?

Hi fellow anglers. So does anybody know what happened to all the fish in LML? Had a pretty good winter and then March went dead.
Haven’t even heard from Mr. angler Brian. How have you been doing buddy?

L.S.

Foozie · « **Reply #171 on:** Mar 18, 2019, 08:54 AM »

I agree Lip Stretcher. fished Whiterock (north of sarnia) all the way south to the Island, south of Island then on down to Wee-Too and Alice beach on Saturday & Sunday.
3 of us and both days not a fish landed. Had one tip up go off but lost em, my buddy had 1 bite on Saturday. Not sure what's going on and with this beautiful weather :'(hardly a soul out there. Tells me people are as fed up with trying as we are. Lake is good to get around, the shore lines will be the issue with this warm weather this week.
Good luck is all i can say.

lip stretcher · « **Reply #172 on:** Mar 20, 2019, 08:32 AM »

Hey Foozie,
I went out yesterday drilled lots of holes marked a couple no bites. Drilled all over from Island View to Rowan’s.
I guess that’s fishing LOL. Take the good with the bad and keep trying. Going out again today may be going farther north who knows where I’ll end up.

Keep your lines tight and good luck.

About time! Set a 40inch goal years ago wasn't sure I'd break it this year but the streak continues! 41" Some pics And a quick release

Foozie · « **Reply #174 on:** Mar 22, 2019, 07:25 AM »

Nicely done spoxick, do you mind me asking where you drove on and what was the shore line like??
That's what scares me is the driving on and off, the lake itself will still be fine.
AnY info is much appreciated.

Lonestarsask · « **Reply #175 on:** Mar 22, 2019, 09:20 AM »

Beauty fish. Nice release.

I got eight inches · « **Reply #176 on:** Mar 22, 2019, 08:07 PM »

Is it still safe to drive on even with these few warm days?

spoxick · « **Reply #177 on:** Mar 22, 2019, 10:11 PM »

Went on at r beach. Couple inches of the top layer ice was a little rotten bunch of guys driving around. Shoreline is getting pretty wet and soft

speckspotter · « **Reply #178 on:** Mar 23, 2019, 01:01 AM »

Nice day on the west side of the lake. The pike were cruising in 3 - 4 feet of water and hitting tip ups as well as various spoons being jigged. Decent access at Etter's and surprisingly few folks out fishing. We iced a half dozen pike between 5 and 12 lbs, and one burbot.
Kudos to the dedicated perch fisherman who navigated his way over two pressure ridges to get to the far side of the lake. I hope you were rewarded with a good bite.

shawno · « **Reply #179 on:** Mar 25, 2019, 03:32 PM »

Jpicks and I were out yesterday and we were surprised to see virtually no one out on the lake. Fishing was slow around the PP area. We ended up landing a couple of pike in the 6-8lb range and one 14" perch. All went back to swim another day. The ice was starting to get thin in places...would go from 30" to 18" in a matter of a 100ft, so be careful if you drive on. This will be the last time we are out this season.
