I have read through the posts and other then a few days ago I don't see any post on how the shore ice is on the south shore, are machines still able to get on? Thanks in advance (this time of year shore ice can change day to day)

well we haven't had any thaws , so things are still going along , 20" of ice and shoreline every where is good , just look for gas holes and nasty pressure cracks when crossing a spud wouldn't;t hurt to give a quick check , the other day I walked out the east end crossed the crack came back 2.5 hrs later and it was wet , unable to cross there ,found a small spot and got my shack and Smitty moving and jumped on and slid across and Oldtimer , that was a do as I say not as I do m

got out this morning on the south shore  before the big winds started and picked a quick dozen huge sunnies for my next door neighbor.....damn, those things are humongous....only fished for an hour or so....been fishing caz lake the last few days and doing pretty good with the perch and gills/sunfish....winds are cranking right now......when is spring gonna start for crying out loud.....I love ice fishing but enough is enough.....done pouting...sorry

Exactly! Don't cry too much. Next year we will be whining because there is no ice!

I think today is probably the coldest day we will see until next December.

Yesterday Dave Longley said that this is the coldest March on record so far. The last few days of March will change that though.

[PKnotlost]

Now thats funny..... I noticed you even drilled a hole for the motor..

[CNY Fisherman]

Now that is just too comical!!!   And to think it is a serious hump to just pull your shanty out there, now these fellows really took things to the next level!!!   Well done guys, how was the bite?

[fishhooksul]

got served up some humple pie this morning. 1 gill, and 1 crappie. I think there's to much pressure. it looks like bb over there. there's a hole every 10'. it was great while it lasted.   Sully...

[YaNkEmOuT88]

LMAO!!!

[oneida1]

Yeah. I drove over there this morning to see if there was anyplace to walk out of. Biggest shanty/bucket town I've seen in the last 2 months.

[slamboney]

Sounds like you had a good run Sully......thank you internet.

I might go looking for some perch this weekend if this weather doesn't make it too sloppy, might be the last weekend for a machine. Honestly I'm ready to get the boat out.

Hence my lack of reports this winter...

[hardwater61]

yes it was but did have to scrape off a few layers of rust 

We'll brush you up with some POR 15 and you'll never have a problem again!

[muskrat bay]

That place was a shanty town long before it got out " ON THE INTERNET". It's more like one person runs his mouth to that person who runs there mouth to another person and so on and so forth etc. blah blah blah !

What's funny is I doubt if 90% of those guys at Short Point the past couple weeks can even get on the internet.... Same with Toad harbor a few weeks ago..... There are other forces at play with those groups....

Hey Red, Be careful with ignorant posts.........

[jj7leaf]

Too bad most people want to be the next internet hero...

And Sully, you are right it was amazing while it lasted...

[RedWolfUSAF]

Hey Red, Be careful with ignorant posts.........

O boy....  .... Ok I'll say 50%..... My real point is, that group of guys, and I was there talking to folks for 6 days, certainly weren't here chirping about the spot.... But they were a good group of guys that have lots of friends and the phone was what I saw being used to alert their friends....

I like seeing pictures of great catches and hearing the stories. Things got a little crazy in January so I decided to lay off on my reports. I figured why feed the fire, it was already blazing!

Did I miss the hot bite? Nobody called me

[reeleyz]

shoulda been there yesterday coach!! LOL! Sad thing is...the phone calls I got were about guys pirating fish more than a few times a day........real sad!!!

 

[missfishy]

Finally broke down and drove around the lake to see where all you guys are fishing.we seen the giant bucket brigade, but didn't dare go out there with a gas auger. Besides it looked like those fish were getting enough pressure. Who's that fishing in the middle of the lake? And what are you getting?

Someone please teach coach the art of the "air hanky"!

[dgriff]

They were hitting first thing this morning. Once the sun came out they vanished.
