Fished out of vets all weekend with a buddy. We caught 20 lakers for the weekend, small ones out deep. Larger fish greater than 25" were shallow yesterday over the grass. The pull out and in sucked. Saturday night we had to stop perching when the smelt moved in and filled the flasher screens...
Anyone ever do the ATV poker run at the winter carnival? It is listed for this Saturday... was wondering what it was exactly? Any details would be appreciated! Thanks
will ATV's even be able to traverse the lake with all the snow?

That's the big question as I would like to know also. Going Wednesday so if no answer by then i'll post how travel is.
I watched quite a few quads struggling yesterday.No one had to be pulled, but a few around me were awful close. Unless you're riding an absolute beast, you're going to have issues on a quad after the dumping we're getting now.
I just posted in perch thread I was going to attempt a wheeler tomorrow then I read this. Abort!
Just to give people a heads up that go out of Bixby rd. to fish huddle bay...as most you know, there is the ice break right there, and its sketchy. I am going to build a 2x6 plank bridge tonight for tomorrow. I am going to keep it there for everyone to get across safely. PLEASE leave it there for others to use. I did this last year over at pilots knob and by the end of the day, someone took it. Ice breaks are nothing to play around with, after this snow cover.sjord89- those are some sweet lakers, and good numbers for 25' of water.
While the intention is good, it's a terrible idea to leave it there. First off you are leaving materials on the ice. Unlike a marked shanty , it is actually against the law.Second, how would you feel if an unexpected snowmobile happened to crash into that debris and got injured ?It may be good for you but remember that you ( we) are not the only ones using the lake for recreation .My way of thinking is , if you carry it in, carry it out.Nice lakers everyone
They were all over perch grounds Wednesday as well. The drag really sucked then too and its only going to be worse now...especially dragging the shanty and all that gear.
I wonder if perch beds are the place to fish lakers mid to late season especially for a lunker?? Perch beds were very slow for lakers two weeks back, but I normally don't fish in that spot fow a few more weeks.. Usually pounding PK right about now. Decisions...I can't wait to get back out!
If i were going just for trout, I would start first thing on the edge of the perch beds...
Aside from a few, all of the largest trout I've seen have come on dead baits in super shallow water.I only run flouro leaders targeting pike in Lake George to leave me the opportunity for a big lucky trout to hit the same rig.It can almost be irritating when I'm specifically targeting pike and as always, I can't get away from the lake trout. But... those trout are usually worth it. I really think it's the cookie cutters that I've been playing with jigging out deep. Those fish aren't big enough to safely roam the flats that hold pike. The big bruisers aren't scared of the pike and pickerel in the bays. That's my rationale anyway.
I don't know if it's smart of me to make myself noticeable. I think I found a way to get myself more room out there though! I saw pics of it getting passed around online and couldn't resist having a local screen printer doing it. (Image removed from quote.)

They must have been all over in general then as my buddy was getting some aggressive fish on the flats too.
