Be careful out there fellas, there was a 4wheeler sized weep hole 15ft from where I drilled a hole to fish with 7” of ice!
What general area? Some of the last ice to form may have some sketchy areas.
Good info man. I just got into the jigging for laker game last year and enjoy hearing what you die hards have to say. I find my self often asking myself if I should make a move.
Great info flyfish413! New to ice shanty today but I think I introduced myself to you yesterday out there. I remembered you saying you're from MA. Was fishing not far from you in my Camo portable blind yesterday. I ended up landing 3 Lakers, lost 3 near the hole and a few others chasing. Stayed in one spot all day. Hopefully it'll get cold and prolong the season.....
LG report from 2/6. Went solo out of Pilot yesterday from 6am to 3PM, got off just exactly as is started raining. Quiet day for me but ended up icing 2 lakers on the jig rod and one on a tip up, lost 2 or 3 others, and had a handful of chasers on the screen. I had traps out for salmon (zero flags) so I was a little tied to each area and didn't travel as far as I hoped. Started just off Point Comfort, stayed for about 4 hours then packed up and headed to Phelps Island. Drilled a ton of holes, nothing less than 5" anywhere, as much as 8" in spots close to shore. Fished from Overall far fewer fish marked than I would have expected, but sometimes you're just not in the right spot.Word of caution, several pressure cracks popped up during the day and I suspect the rain you got up there will be draining through them and weakening the ice.
Renting a place on lake george in bolton march 14th 3 nights. Can we expect fishable ice this time of year?
. Did you happen to get down around fort Ann beach, just curious on the ice thickness out of that area
Last year I fished in April, although public access near Bolton was shot a couple of weeks before that. You have to find a place with no bubblers to fish late in the season.
Yup. I used public access
Nice update lance. The black ice is degrading quickly. Buddy who just sent me this pic made the safe choice and left the deep water. The ice in this pic is not good.
I can't believe I read this:
