[filetandrelease]

Well done Jason , scout you will Gett-m next time , great running with the sled , wheelers were getting around ok , chains wouldn’t hurt

[reeleyz]

Nice job guys!

[fishshack]

Nice catches guys!!  3 of us got out for the am bite. We got 7 total but the ones we marked sure were fussy. The snow is melting down some and there was a bit more slush around. Going to try some bacon wrapped walleyes sometime this week.

Looks like the wheeler guys are gonna Dodge a bullet.  Lake was slushing up coming in today but next weekend will be back to a clean slate maybe even melting sliders and overheating my old xlt.  Will see.

certainly was the case today......marked a bunch of fish........I think there a ton of gobies out there, which might have an effect....although they would chase the bait with authority but most times stop short......weird

we took our annual weekend ice trip to onieda this weekend best weekend on ice there ever for us ,only one keeper eye (alot of shorts) one nice burbott ....but brought home over 100 nice perch and half were tanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ice was great and weather for most part great!
Having a sled to pull stuff out and back in was great
hope to get back again this ice season

Looking at the forecast there is more 30s and 40s than 20s. It looks like we are going to start heading in the wrong direction.

I was just looking at the 10 day and its not showing much for below 32 degrees next week and rain.

I think you're right Bruce, and I just got my sled fixed.   

I got out on my sled yesterday for the first time in a long time, thanks again KP. I got a limit of eyes and 8 perch. Lots of lookers that wouldn't commit. I had a guy set up pretty close to me around noon, I think he spooked fish to me or something, I caught all the keeper eyes, 5 of the good perch and a pile of eyes that were just short in the next hour or so. Seemed the fish were there  but really funky acting most of the day.  I relocated 6 times and 4 of the holes had fish come off the bottom on the first drop but then they would disperse pretty quickly, weird.

Be careful crossing the crack heading toward grassy from constantia. Started looking a little shady on the way in last night

[Theval]

Hey guys anyone think it'll be ok for a wheeler this weekend? Heading out with the gf for a weekend trip. We're excited lol good luck guys.

[Garufi518]

Can anyone recommend lodging on southern shore around Lewis point fishing it for the first time this weekend figured make a trip out of it

I crossed that crack on foot headed for grassy Sunday...a couple hits and the spud went  through and had to cross elsewhere.As far as fishing was concerned I ended up with a limit of eyes & 2 jumbos with a few throw backs. Had to switch it up with different lures to make them bite then it shut down when the rain moved in.

[swampking89]

There's a hotel in Canastota only about 15 minutes from Lewis point.good luck!!

....nice job on the catch! I almost put the wheeler through it on the way off last night. Took about a 2foot nose dive but powered across it.

[filetandrelease]

Yes sir that good old puckering affect ,
Glad you able to power out

[trapper2000]

my latest big bay trip !!!!!  as I pulled into the 4 dollar parking area and I was talking to Freddie I realized I did something I have never done before ...left my spikes home ...great a quick trip to bartles and back ...I  park and got out ... great windy .....take a hit off the inhaler cover my face and   drag to the  access pipe ......someone had to do it and I'm sure I wasn't first .... I sliped on the ice and landed on my .......buttock  sooooo a few minutes of  catching my breath and cursing the local land owners that tore that spot up I headed out to the magical  sunfish grounds ....oh boy .....no this isn't my first rodeo and I may have been on this water a time or two before  so I headed way out ..... not a hit other then the pickerel that swallowed my jig and did not recover from the removeal ... oh well i'll count him on my pickerel limit I headed in close in hopes for some gills ....now a few guys were pulling fish so I set up camp great no propane in heater ..... set up  getting cold but I'm tough ,really wish I brought coffee 2 hours later and 4 holes drilled ...4 small blue gills I decide to make my final move to mc donalds for a large 99 cent coffee ....putting my stuff away I notice I'm sore .... I went to put the cover on my auger ....ouch  another first I'm leaving a blood trail on the ice ...bandaids  come out of my wallet  I notice it's still windy cold and now snowing .... the access still sucks  I still hurt and I decide i'll leave my gear and get my truck .... I hurry and pull my truck down, toss my gear in, getting into my truck wheezing cold and bloody a women that reminded me of a Klingon from star trek pulls up at worp speed and decides to take out her lifes frustrations on me ,screaming I'm blocking her drive way  and there is clearly a sign posted .... now I'm not in a good mood but I know better then to fight when this is our only access and clearly  this gorilla girl could kick my ass ..... I apologize and figure it's done ...oh no ....she wants me to see the sign she gets out and points to the sign ....biting my tongue and fighting the impulse to tell her I work for national grid and it is illegal to post signs on our poles  I said ty ma'am, I didn't see that  ....I leave go to mc donalds  get my coffee to realize my wallet is in my suit  in my shanty locked in the back of my truck .....I count a dollar 8 in change hand it to the kid  and head home........it was not my best day .............my advice  watch out for the Klingon  and  the  icy rocks  feel free to use my holes  they are like brand new no fish   removed threw them ....I'm going to otisgo

[crappyfisherman]

Went out from Constantia towards the shoals, crusty snow with some slush  under it but walkable. Ice was about 8" and cut easy. Marked no fish- caught as many.

[big_guy_13021]

Holy crap trap  that rhimes sounds like you had a blast from the past...hopefully your buttocks arent to sore ..and glad you didnt hurt your back...you better stick with otisco...at least until open water...either that or stay away from fred. ..and STAY AWAY FROM BROOM HILDA

[KingPerch]

Sorry to hear of your bad outing Trap!! We all have had  days like that. But, I would’ve paid for your coffee and breakfast if I was there and you indeed told that Klingon your national grid story!!!! 😜 give them hell next time bud!!!🎣🕳

[trapper2000]

no kp I wouldn't risk more  bs over that access spot ,I just told her I was sorry I didn't see the sign ...but driving away  below my dash I was waving a universal hand gesture to her .....  and  now I look back at the day I'm smiling ...... i'll make up for it today

[moosefeet]

Well Trap at least you got out and had some fun.... this is fun isn't it?

[trapper2000]

[stringer01]

[filetandrelease]

 Glad your ok bud
Dam trapp I think some of my luck rubbed off onto you from the other day , well I guess release will have to stop down and lay some of his charm on her 😘
  on a better note I ran into 1 of our local wardens yesterday and had a nice conversation

[reeleyz]

She sounds like a real sweetheart. 

I hope you have a better day today Trap.

[hunts2long]

Trap, it takes a day like that to make the next day GREAT....It could have been worst, that women could have been on her way to work at Mac D's...h2l

[Dsportman]

Calmly say with a big smile “don’t tell me,let me guess......you didn’t vote for trump”. Then take three steps back and watch the meltdown🤣

[stringer01]

You explained the whole problem it was freddy getting the skunk off so he and snag could go lip rippin!!!!
