Re: Last Mountain Lake 2018-2019 - Regina Beach area

??

 Regina Beach and Rowan's are separated by 30KM of lake with completely different structures/accesses at each location. its a fair question bud.

I agree with you
, I sent the "??" a little early, I couldn't see a have in the photo -- I meant to include that in the message my mistake. was just curious.
also on that topic..

ive asked a few times and plan to report back, but am curious to see what this big temp change does for ice heaves if anything? im wanting to quad on at triple t or etters.. any info would be awesome, doesn't sound like many guys have been up that way..

Fished the east side of the lake across from etters. 15-16 inches of ice. Lots of shacks and trucks on the ice just south of etters.

Really wishing I didn't have to work tomorrow, +4 degrees would make for a hell of a fish fry on the ice with some buds! Went out early Tuesday morning hoping to get into the walleye bite with the weather warming up quite a few degrees but no luck.  Caught up with zforste1 once he finally hauled his hung-over ass out of bed and managed to snag a few small perch.  Very slow day but lots of marks, just couldn't seem to get much to commit.

Went on at Sarnia today. 20" thickness, good black ice. Limited out on walleye within 2 hrs and now its catch and release except for all the jumbo perch I got into now. Staying in the shack overnight. Will be up nice and early for the morning fish.

Woke up once to some pretty loud cracking sounds and booms the ice makes! Was a good night. Caught a bunch of perch this am.

Can anyone give me info on the sarni access where i can get on, does a guy just follow the grid road to the beach/launch?? Can you fish for walleye close to the access? Anything for heaves or springs i need to worry about?

I gotta ask, laugh if you may..
I pulled onto tripple t beach, while driving through the bay i noticed interesting ice conditions..
Some of it very cloudy, some areas almost looking like blocks of ice or puzzle pieces frozen into the ice

Any ideas or explanation

Cloudy ice is usually slushy water that froze and during first ice it best to avoid those ares since its weaker. The blocky/puzzle ice is black ice that broke up during the wind and waves and re froze before melting, that ice is generally pretty strong lke typical black ice.

Anyone have any advice about fishing for pike up at the Regional? Any areas to avoid on the ice? places to shoot for or depths to fish? Any help would be appreciated! Heading out with my brother and some of his pals from Saskatoon and I don't know the lake that well. Mostly worried about the spots to avoid.

Cheers!

Hi danhanline.
On the E side of the lake, just up from where you enter onto the ice, there is a flowing spring that is to be avoided. :blink:
It is usually quite visible, as the snow is sunken away by the shore.
If moving up or down the lake I would say towards the middle until you get by it a ways. 
I have seen angler parked, and fishing close to it, but, I prefer to fish in an area with more stable ice thickness.

Normally folks fish a bit N from the Regional park.
That area is a bit shallow with max depth at 10 -12 feet and 7 - 8 feet is usually a good starting depth.

Good ice fishin'. :tipup: 

WW
Looking for that BIG BITE!

fished Collingwood last sunday in the beautiful sunshine and NO wind for a change. marked tons of fish, fairly aggressive as well as they followed it up and down all day.
tried several hooks and different bait senarios but nothing seemed to make them bite. 3 of us caught a few perch and a few really small baby walleyes.
Fun day with great friends and great weather, next time they'll bite.....that's what I keep telling myself anyways,lol!! Tight lines everyone.
Ice was good as well, 20" I'm thinking and NO heaves to speak of but we only went about 1/2 mile north of the boat launch.

Took the wife and father in law out yesterday in the wind and blowing snow to my permy off keddelston beach. fished from 10am - 6PM and had constant perch on the camera and flasher with the odd walleye sprinkled in. We managed to put a dozen or so fish on the ice. We kept 4 perch and 1 walleye. released the rest including a dandy Walleye my buddy caught a few minutes after he showed up to fish with us. They were very tight lipped and very lite biting. I threw the tackle box at them but nothing proved consistent. I am blaming the unstable weather for their lack of appetite. Ice was 20" thick and the boat launch access was excellent.

The slow day of fishing was made better by plenty of snacks throughout the day and some fresh deer steak and bush's beans for lunch....and maybe a nip or two from the cherry whiskey flask  ;)

Took my wife out fishing this weekend. She was looking to catch a bigger fish than me. Unfortunately we only caught one, and she was a beauty. Released for the next fisherman.



Due to the cold and winds we had to pick one spot and stick with it, not much activity where we were.
