Can you launch wheelers at the MDB parking lot?
I'd like to try Huddle Bay. Any directions to an access would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Hogan
Google maps will give you a better answer than any of us man.
Use caution, the ice there was taking a beating from the wheeler traffic. You'll need to get their early too or the lot could be full.As far as the perch go...I hear it varies like most fishing.
Taking a beating? Ice seemed pretty perfect to me......
"How is the perch fishing around MDB?"I often jig the grass beds along the east shore off MDB within half a mile of the launch because I'm frequently too lazy to go elsewhere. MDB perching at its best is almost never as good as places like Huddle, Harris, Vets, etc. and is generally inconsistent. The MDB perch bite can be hot early but usually goes dead mid-morning but may turn back on late afternoon.[/tquote]three years ago when we had good late ice buddy and I did well afternoons at MDB we only fished afternoons the last 5 days u could get on the ice' He kept over 200 and me about 100. He had two rods he had custom made and paid over $100 for. If the fish burped next to his lure u could see it!! Hoping we get a late bite again this year
Laker day Saturday..Lance said you were looking to join. Should be a great mission.
Double digit lakers jigging, biggest about 29", all released:
It'll be good to finally hook up with the trout gang out there. I'm hoping the kids can stick a few so we can start mixing it up a bit this year.
seems like trout numbers may be down a touch to me, but the size has more than made up for it. You notice anything similar?
Not sure that the trout numbers are down as much as the forage is up. Definitely more larger ones around, we caught a lot of 24-27" lakers on the boat last season. Used to be about 1 in 5 keepers, then it was 1 in 3 for a while, last year was close to 50% over 23".
Can anyone give me an update on the ice thickness if any, up by forest bay just south of Hague ? It’d be greatly appreciated. I’m asking for an older friend of mine who doesn’t do the whole computer thing and looking to save him a trip up there if the ice isn’t safe
