Nice Mowbizz. 23” Laker is a good one out of Newfound. Keep me posted on your Argo and what you find it about the chain. Unfortunately I know one of the guys in the minivan. Obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed. They spend more time driving around than actually fishing which speaks volumes about why they are really out there (not to fish). Can’t fix stupid they say.
Nice laker...👍🏻
Thanks guys! It was good to feel a little weight on that jig stick.
Nice Laker Mowbizz. Laker Taker said the same thing about feeling the weight, he yanked up a 28” this past Saturday. He caught 11 Lakers on Sunday as well.
Hey guys,Dont post here to much... Just looking for an ice update on the lake, we've had a great ice season for sure but I am familiar with the struggles of newfound, I am hoping to do some traveling on my snowmobile...Any report would be great really. thanks guys. tight Lines to you all.
Thanks Mowbizz for the update. I have the admiral tranny on my 750 HDi Argo. Sounds like your taking good care of yours.
If you use a snowmobile (depending on what kind of sled) you should use some ice scratchers as there is zero snow on the ice. Otherwise pretty safe travel everywhere but don't assume ice is safe if there are no signs of others there before you! Ice thickness is building as we speak and I measured 15-16" at the foot of Pike's Bay yesterday.
Short day today...tipped one over soon as the jig was on the bottom...Lazy Larry the fatLaker was cruising around again just sampling chum...cold and breezy out there! Skunked...back at it tomorrow. Might bump the house to some other locale. We're making ice out there! Yesterday's holes had 6" in them already!
Anybody else have a super slow day Sunday? Went with a couple buddies, they were super late so I sat on the bed of my truck sulking until they got there. Wasted a good hour trying to find a sweet hump I found on Navionics, didn't find it, so bounced around new areas after. Missed some bites, watched a guy climb the mountain ice. Finally we had enough of being skunked and went across the lake to a known whole and finally caught one, 18"er, and a buddy caught a foot longer to save the day. On the way back into Wellington we saw a plane land and a few bald eagles which was cool!
Taking a little break for personal reasons...be back at it next week.
My day was slow Sunday. Ch brought up 2 and had a few playing with her. While I was out visiting she pulled one up and texted me a picture. I should of stayed I suppose as she said she had 3 chasing her jig which she said I would of defiantly caught one off them. I think she was just being nice. When you say you got an 18’er and another one a foot longer, are you saying you guys got one over 28”?
2/02/2018Heading out to the lake...see what today brings, heard it was gonna be WINDY!
I'll be out later today. Waiting for the real cold weather and windy conditions(not just "breezy"). Give you a shout.
You there tomorrow? Maybe I'll see you.
Heres hoping you and yours are ok.
Plan to be out all weekend. Trying to make up for lost time. Come on by.
