Caught an 18" laker yesterday by the boat ramp. Saw a few on the camera throughout the day but only snagged one.
We were by the ramp too but bounced outa there because of the terrible silt conditions. How was the visibility where you were? We were out about 1/4 mile (red aluminum bobhouse)We bounced back over to near Mayhew but didn't fish there yet. Family stuff...
I was there today for the first time this year. I once again got skunked. I had lakers on camera all day but for some reason I can't get a bite. Must be doing something wrong. I'll figure it out someday. It was nice to at least see them.

01/21/2018Today was about taking the youngest grandson Logan out fishing. Introducing / Teaching him bobhouse ice fishing. His second time out. Easing him into it cause let's face it, it can be boring....Before he and CH got to the house this morning, I managed to pull up 2 lakers and had a few come through teasing me. He watched how to cut up bait. Pick a jig and put the cut bait on his hook. Just watched and didn't actually do it....He also learned to cook eggs, cracked them, put them in the pan and proceed to scramble. No milk. Still the best eggs I've ever had Played w the drone a bit for some entertainment, saw a few lakers on the camera and then watched Ch yank up a laker in front of us. Before we left, decided to bump the house off the holes with the upcoming weather just to be safe. We didn't make any ice this weekend. Another good education for Logan, helping out w the bump. I think he'll sleep good tonight and I look forward to our next outing.
FYI, Someone did pull up a 10lb'er this weekend out of Newfound. They are in there.....
Jiggin...do you know if the narrows on the east side of Mayhew freeze enough to traverse through with an Argo (or other machine?) We bounced over to the northeast side of Mayhew and were wondering about parking at Cummings and shooting through those narrows to the house. Worst case we would just go around the west side of Mayhew and to the house from there...
Had a great day on the lake today. Ended up with 9 lakers. Water was kinda murky but they were hitting hard until about 1:00. Then the bite died. Haven’t fished Newfound the last two years but it sure was good to be back out there.
Personally i would never travel through the Narrows between Mayhew and the Main Land. It's always thin ice in the channel. I would drive around.Your into Pike's cove. The only problem where you are is that all the snow blows into that area and it gets deep & wet. Fishing is good there and there usually are plenty of smelt in that area.
Good afternoon, another warm wet day. I am looking to put my house this weekend but am concerned with ice conditions.. I am looking to fish from Mayhew south, looking to launch at Cummins or off the south end of the lake by the church.. any thoughts or warnings?
So...after work i took a ride to the lake.Cummings Beach is probably your best bet to launch a house depending on how big and how heavy it is. The snow banken has been knocked down and the hill to the lake looks good. Be careful on the left side of the hill going down onto the lake, we had a wash out but it's cautioned taped off. To the right is a big hole, check it out before launchingFoot of the lake has some big snow bankens but there is one spot in the middle of the road that looks like you could slide a bobhouse onto the lake from there, again depending on how big your house is. Good luck and post up your adventures!
