Same here tonight. One nice eye, cruising 8’ down over 29’. 3 decent perch and some shorts. That was all. Dead at dark.

Wet on top but ice is in great shape.

What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? He!! no!

Good job fellas,
Not over by a long shot

DW45 · « **Reply #1180 on:** Feb 16, 2018, 11:50 AM »

Headed up tonight for a long weekend. We have camps on the east end and fish a lot in the spring/summer but haven't been out on the ice in many years. Would someone mind telling me if we can park at Taft Bay Park or I am told there is a roadway to the West of it where you can drive down to park and then take a trail through the woods for lake access? Thank you in advance!

Any opinions on if wheelers will be ok tomorrow morning? Hoping whatever mess is on top will freeze tonight. Will shoreline be weak from rain and warm temps?

oneida1 · « **Reply #1184 on:** Feb 16, 2018, 01:47 PM »

wheelers are good not much of a mess just wet might set up tonight

Chowdaire · « **Reply #1185 on:** Feb 16, 2018, 02:15 PM »

Another slow morning for me. Took about 10 moves to land on fish. Ended with 2 keepers and one just short. Eyes were high in the water column, perch on the bottom. I made up my mind I wasn't going to clean perch today, kinda wish I hadn't because after a bunch of 8 inchers early some chunks moved in.

Lots of water on top. One spot had such a whirlpool going I couldn't fish it. Old holes in those areas are opened up enough to be dangerous for walkers. Gonna be slick tomorrow when it sets up so bring your creepers.

filetandrelease · « **Reply #1186 on:** Feb 16, 2018, 02:29 PM »

Thanks for the heads-up chowdaire

Is Apps open any earlier than 6AM. I'm coming in from Rochester and would like to get to my spot before 1st light. I hate to by bait from any body else...

oneida1 · « **Reply #1191 on:** Feb 16, 2018, 04:47 PM »

ice is already firming up with temps dropping water is going away will be solid and slick in AM

DeadEyez · « **Reply #1192 on:** Feb 16, 2018, 06:46 PM »

Yes it firmed up after sundown. Another rough go for me today as well. Got 2 keepers and dropped my third at the hole this morning. Went back out this evening to try to get my third and survived the wind somehow. Marked a few but no takers. Beautiful sunset tonight.

Chowdaire · « **Reply #1193 on:** Feb 16, 2018, 07:25 PM »

I think I can post this here but I have a couple of Lowrance Ice Machines for sale on the For Sale page if anyone is interested.

Nice job Chowdaire and Deadeyez.

rlejr · « **Reply #1195 on:** Feb 17, 2018, 05:56 AM »

My fishing buddy thinks the water will be to stained on the north shore, east end area of the lake for Sunday's fish. I didn't think it is anything to worry about, but he's old and doesn't believe me. What's the rest of the world think?

reeleyz · « **Reply #1196 on:** Feb 17, 2018, 06:19 AM »

The water is not very stained. We didn't get much rain so there was not a ton of runoff yet...

I wouldn't let stained water hold you back anyway.

Chowdaire · « **Reply #1197 on:** Feb 17, 2018, 07:40 AM »

Yep. Water clarity is very dependent on location still. I covered about 2 miles on the NE end yesterday. Hit clear water, white murky water and straight brown water.

I wouldn't let that stop you. It's not like the heavy runoff time yet where its chocolate milk for miles and you've got a current.

And even then. The fish still bite.

DeadEyez · « **Reply #1198 on:** Feb 17, 2018, 07:59 AM »

I would rather fish stained water than gin clear water. Always seem to do better fishing stained. I’m not talking chocolate milk either

Theval · « **Reply #1199 on:** Feb 17, 2018, 08:07 AM »

Saw a guy get his sled into some deep water and slush out of apps this morning, looked knee deep at least maybe waste. He got pulled out and dragged back. Be careful
