you have to call on caroga kid but someone else might have looked around

Caroga Kid · « **Reply #2 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 07:23 PM »

Ice is still pretty thin...West Caroga Is still half open.. 1-3 inches on some of the other lakes..

Depends on How cold it gets and How long it stays cold..If this weather keeps up, we'll have 5 inches by the middle of Next week..

Shacks are no where near ready to go out...About 50 ft away from shanty town is Open Water yet..And thats the Side opposite the Channel..The only new laws with the smelt are you cant transport and Use them on any other lake than the one their caught in..If your just jiggin them to eat ..Then your all set..

I grew up in Caroga and used to catch smelt in the inlet all of the time. Don't know much about fishing for Splake in fact believe it or not I have never ice fished Caroga, but it seams to me that unless you were fishing with Smelt than you don't stand much of a chance landing Splake.

I caught 2 smelt last year, 1 on smelt and one on a fat head minnow. both from the same lake.

stringer · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 08:17 PM »

Hey roy , met you last year you were there with your brother i think you messed up a little on the last post, good luck!!!

GiddyUpNFish · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 08:20 PM »

I knew what you meant Roy, thanks for the reply. Fatheads are good lively bait, I will give it a try.

No stringer I just caught one splake the first day I was up there with a fat head and the second time when I met you I caught one on a smelt. Hopefully we'll run into eachother up that way again.

Ten four ,take care and be safe cause i know your fishin!!

GiddyUpNFish · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 08:32 PM »

Is there any size limit on Splake in Caroga??? Anyone interested in trying out Caroga Sat morn??

adkRoy · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 08:39 PM »

Be careful there is still open water inplaces up there. especially where the creeks come in.

stringer · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 08:40 PM »

Go slow fish shallow light tackle stay close to carousel only waist deep.

GiddyUpNFish · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 08:42 PM »

Where do you typically get on from the beach, Shermans or Vroomans??

stringer · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 08:47 PM »

vroomans, but usually catching bait a little food that side may be bad for you cause you probaly can't cross the channel or at least i wouldn't!!!!

adkRoy · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 08:49 PM »

go out from shermans it should be safer.

GiddyUpNFish · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 08:52 PM »

Thanks guys, my plan is to head up north, but at least check out Caroga on the way up. With a spare set of clothes and boots of course, ha ha. I am familiar with the lake and will not fish over my waist.

Sherman's is deffinately a safer route.. But be Careful with parking there and along the Beach, They'll have ya towed.

ice boy19 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 10:01 PM »

caroga kid if it is possible do think u can inform me of when caroga has at least 5 inches of ice.... thanks dude you guys up there are real life savers!!!!

Fatman · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 25, 2007, 04:22 AM »

Just wondering how the ice was on Canade Lake? Has anyone been catching smelt on caroga yet?

I have not been there yet but i know there has been people out on canada earlier this week and they said there was a sold 4 inches so theres got to be atleast 6 inches up there by now....the smelt are hitting pretty good at caroga me and a buddy went up last thurs afternoon and caught 11 doz between 3 and 6 pm right behind vroomans

inwellb4light I appreciate the info I look forward to jigging some smelt up myself. Did they have any luck on canada lake? I never have good luck on that lake. I like it because it is close. I wish I had better luck on that one.
