Has anyone been out at night for smelt yet?

Reports and conditions says there has been some people out there...Post a few more times and you will be able to access them.

djholmes- You have to accrue five posts before you can see the "Reports & Conditions" pages. And, YES, I have been out for smelt and got a few dozen earlier this week. The ice was good up to the 25-30 yards from shore that i went out. I have heard that the ice is thinner out deep, but I suspect this cold snap will take care of that for us. I can't wait to get back out and get me some more smelt. I love 'em.

Good luck!

Give the lake more time to make ice!!! I was there tonight to fish but was only there long enough to get on some really thin ice and leave. The ice is very inconsistent, 4" in somespots, 2" in others, and to 4" consisting of 2" white ice 1" of slush/water and 1" of black ice. If anyone goes out there take your spud and picks! Be safe!!

So, Canadice ice is still questionable? After these wicked cold days & nights the lake isn't locked up yet?

Hi there GT66PONY,
Like Timber said we were hoping you would post so we could say hi.
We will be pulling a night patrol soon and hope to run into you. I'll pop some red smoke to mark the ambush site and hope you swing by and drop a concussion grenade down the hole to brig em up .

beerfish · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 23, 2011, 09:48 PM »

what do mean open water there its all locked up with at least 3 - 6 inches every where maybe more was out there today at boat launch no trout though maybe some day ice was good at least 5 icnes were we were in 50 feet of water.

pickerel_slayer · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 23, 2011, 10:04 PM »

No beerfish I was saying that when it was open water, last spring specifically, I couldn't catch trout.

beerfish · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 24, 2011, 09:45 PM »

beerfish · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 25, 2011, 09:30 AM »

spikes or mouses on tiny tiny glow in the dark jigs with spring on end of ploe so u can see them bite alot of fun. the more light on the ice the better to.

The ones I have caught run pretty small on Canadice - probably 4"-6" and thin.

These are not the big ones we used to dip net in Lake Ontario back in the 70's and 80's.

benny4117 · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 25, 2011, 01:04 PM »

What size hooks would you use for them?

bufficeman · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 08:23 PM »

Small glow hali tipped with a spike and a small piece of spawn sack netting is how i roll

woodroce · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 27, 2011, 06:53 AM »

They may be small, but they are yummy. My wife and I got over 200 of them in an hour and a half last Tuesday night on Hemlock. Here's what I did with them:

himhofh · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 30, 2011, 08:57 PM »

I've never been smelting on hard water. How is it done?
I used to go to Port Bay with my uncle as a kid in the spring with nets.

leejonespta · « **Reply #28 on:** Mar 02, 2011, 11:48 AM »

Never Ice fished Canadice before just wondering how good the ice will be this weekend trying to get the wife hooked her first time ever ice fishing this weekend any tips would be greatly appreciated.

33Canuck · « **Reply #29 on:** Mar 02, 2011, 01:43 PM »

Shore ice will not be great but most likely ok to get on but if I were you I wouldn't take my wife to Canadice for her first time to get her hooked you most likely won't get anything unless you target pickerel on the south end then you might get a few. There are much better places to hit where you will get into good catches of gills and or perch like conesus or sodus to keep her busy.
