De Pere checking in.. was up by Crivitz this past weekend... with the 1.9" of rain the last 2 days it is going to be awhile. Maybe get the boat out of storage???
Tell me about it, I'm another 1-1.5 hrs north of you and the ice went out again yesterday. I'm heading up next Thursday for about 10 days.
Cadott here. Waiting for the colder weather..
Absolutely painful is all I can say! I still have ice when I log in and look at my security cam. However, that ice is probably 1/4" at this point and it looks like we get 1 day in the single digits for the next 10 days. That's not going to cut it.
New to the forum. Tomahawk area. Waiting on ice like pretty much everyone else. 40F and hard rains throughout the day. Hoping to get some ice by mid Jan at this point...
Welcome! Cold weather looks likes its coming now in our area.
Welcome to the shanty. There are quite a few members from around the surrounding area on here. You might be interested in the get together that Is being planned.
I do fish all of the above. Brother and I went out yesterday and kept 14 gills between 8 and 9 1/2 inches. Had to have caught at least 100 fish to get those keepers. Kinda scary walking on ice with 6 inches of slush on top over 28 feet of water. Plenty of ice though at 3-4 inches.
I remember the days of fishing Grass Lake, and other areas along the river, catching 100 plus fish just to get a half dozen keepers. Heck of a fishery, just hard to get it past the little ones to get to the keepers. Used to get some really good northern too. Do you ever ice fish walleyes below the dam in Trempealeau?
Up until 1992 I fished walleyes below dams quite often. That year we were fishing below the Genoa dam in late February on 30" of ice when I went to "relieve" myself on the Minnesota side of the river. I missed my track from the first "relief" I had taken and fell through and landed on top of the wingdam there. Got wet to my thighs and have never been out there since. I CAN TAKE A HINT!!!!
