looking to go up to Chaumont either this weekend or next weekend. I've heard the bite has been hot!!! Its a great place to fish. Just the walk to find what you want sucks! Unless you got a wheeler or sled!

Went out on chaumont on Tuesday. It was a long day moving around different holes out on Johnson shoal. Wound up keeping 40 between two of us. A few real nice ones but a lot of sorting through small perch to get to them. Beautiful day out though. Plenty of ice

Went out on the bay Tuesday for a while.... Got some nice perch and my first Chaumont Walleye!!! Nice fish 24.75" just under 8lbs.... I'm a believer now!!! I had heard about the size of the eyes in there but never found out first hand..... man the width of this fish!!!

Went to chaumont yesterday with another member from the site and after all day in the ice came back to find his atv ramps were stole as well as some one else's ramps. If any one in the chaumont area comes across someone trying to sell tri fold aluminum atv ramps inquire about them. As for fishing 20 or so 8 to 10 inch perch. Took my niece for her fist time she had a great time.

I believe in karma so I hope the person(s) who took em get what they deserve. Now on a flip note we were out about a good 2 miles from the boat launch. We had packed up and were heading in when I saw a guy walking pulling his sled. So I stopped and gave him a ride. Ive done that walk before and know it sucks.

travis.kling · « **Reply #45 on:** Jan 18, 2014, 09:51 AM »

Yeah I was one of the poor saps that got his ramps stole. I figured good karma and all since we gave a guy and his wife a ride out when we got there. I'm gonna go and get new ramps today and a lock and cable to secure them in the bed of my truck. I would drive over them but I think my 5500 lb diesel will destroy them if I drive on them to keep the. from getting stole

harrops26 · « **Reply #46 on:** Jan 18, 2014, 06:42 PM »

Fished Chaumont today. Looked like there were several hundred people out there. Very slow day for us but did manage this nice pickerel. 27" 4.5lbs.

$ignmoney · « **Reply #47 on:** Jan 19, 2014, 08:36 PM »

Im looking to come up for the first time on ice and I see by back posts long point is a good place to start since we are walkers. Am I on the right track? or should I be going in somewhere else. Thanks!

Joe Butler · « **Reply #48 on:** Jan 19, 2014, 10:00 PM »

Yes $ign, It is a good place to start. I am a walker and fish there often. I fished there today, was a slow bite, the wheather was really nasty with wind and horizontal snow. I did pull 3/4 of a 5 gal bucket of large perch yesterday. Ice is from 10 to 14 inches. After today there will be some drifted snow on the ice. Good luck, see you out there!

CBR_ME_ASAP · « **Reply #49 on:** Jan 21, 2014, 11:34 AM »

Is the walleye and perch bite still on or has it slowed down?

fishman79 · « **Reply #50 on:** Jan 21, 2014, 12:52 PM »

mostly depends on the day, it can be hot one day and dead the next. I wouldn't bet on this week though with the high presure system, ok by the weekend.

nitro01127 · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 22, 2014, 12:10 PM »

Is there much snow on the ice ?

fishman79 · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 22, 2014, 03:14 PM »

yesterday there were spots with no snow, and spots with 1 ft hard packed drifts.

That really suuccckkksss about the ramps, I have and will continue to park on top of my ramps. A great friend from Saginaw Bay showed me that little trick.

There's a special place in hell for people who steal from anyone much less somebody just trying to enjoy one of life's few remaining natural pleasures. My the thieves be blessed with rickets and the gout.

D_wood · « **Reply #55 on:** Jan 24, 2014, 05:53 AM »

Im heading out to chaumont this weekend. Ice is good havent decided if i want to take the truck out or not. Got a friend coming up from down state so im hoping the bite is good, If any one else is going to be out there let me know and we could meet up

There was a truck and a jeep out on the ice Wednesday when I drove through Chaumont

D_wood · « **Reply #57 on:** Jan 24, 2014, 07:00 AM »

Nice I might save my self packing the quad and trailer and just toss it all in the truck

BOCHASER · « **Reply #58 on:** Jan 24, 2014, 02:15 PM »

Sorry about your ramps - probably the same type that steals treestands as well. It will catch up to them low life crooks!!! Love Chaumont Bay - good luck on the ice - I can't get there until walleye opens in the spring and already can't wait!!! That bay is awesome!!!

Canam800 · « **Reply #59 on:** Jan 30, 2014, 01:15 AM »

Was wondering if anyone could give me a report on the snow amount that is on the ice. Planning on going fishing on Friday if there is not to much snow to get my wheeler out on the ice. Thanks
