Any ice on the south end yet?

ICE? hell how about water! There's no water to form ice past about bad water!

You say'n boysen is a little low this year.

minnowguy · « **Reply #3 on:** Nov 25, 2007, 11:19 PM »

I'm going to go over and check out the level and ice conditions thursday and will post what I find.

4x4elk · « **Reply #4 on:** Nov 26, 2007, 01:37 AM »

I am not saying it's dry but poisin bay is pretty much dry, and out around towards bad water bay is really shallow!

Park Super just called and told me there's ice from Fremont to S. Muddy, not sure how thick or good, but it's there. And the boat launches have been pulled up. laters,

Dropped some minnows off at Walkers in Shoshoni today he will have fathead minnows for you fellow ice fishers. Badwater is froze all the way out to the mian lake it looks like from the highway. will drive in on thursday and check thickness.Looks like the south end is froze also but only on the east side hard to tell from the highway.

:laugh:Its going to happen pretty soon.

Has anyone checked boysen lately??

minnowguy · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 30, 2007, 02:46 AM »

there is around 4 inches of ice on the northeast side of badwater. there was already someone on the ice in about six feet of water. dont know if he caught anything though.

ryaninwy · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 04, 2007, 08:07 AM »

I was wondering if there any fishable ice?

minnowguy · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 04, 2007, 12:59 PM »

Drove by the lake yesterday and it was still open. some of the shallower coves are getting ice but after the wind that was blowing yesterdaythere might not be anything left.

LT · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 04, 2007, 01:01 PM »

True, true, temps right at 45 and that wind...ripped Ocean and was solid enough to walk on already at the outlet.

rodgod28 · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 07, 2007, 04:24 PM »

heard there was ice forming in the bays if so how thick and is any one doing any good.

WYOiceman · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 10, 2007, 09:02 AM »

I fished Boysen yesterday. 3" to 5" back in the bay, but the main lake was open.
It looks like they are raising the lake cause there is 5' to 10' of thin soft ice around the shore.
We got tired of breaking through so we built a bridge with a driftwood log.
It would be a good idea to bring planks or pallets to get you out to the good ice.
8 rainbows, 5 ling, 4 perch, and 2 sauger.
Not a bad start.
Good luck to all, and use caution on the new ice.

Hey WYOiceman

Was there any size to the ling or where they the typical pound to pound and a halfers?

Did you fish much after dark?
I'm heading over in the morning and will be taking my Frabill house so I can fish later into the night.
Thanks for the info on the thin ice, I think I will throw in a plank !!
Anyone know what time Walkers opens up? Thanks in advance for any info.

Later

WYOiceman · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 10, 2007, 04:14 PM »

We fished from about 10 am til about 7 pm.
1 ling was a half pound baby, 3 were 1.5 to 2.5, and 1 was 4lbs.
I have no idea when Walkers opens, heck I don't even know where it's at.
Tim James is usually around early mornings.

Good luck, and let us know how you did.

nice job. What part of the lake were you on and were they on tip-ups or jigging?

Hey minnowguy,
Where is Walkers bait shop located in Shoshoni?
I'd sure like to get ahold of a few hundred fatheads for when we start getting into a ton of perch.

Hey Bill,
We were in the Fremont bay area, and all the fish were caught on tip-ups with plain old minnows.
We were fishing from 4' to 12' of water, about a foot off bottom.
Good luck and let us know how you do.
Where's walkers bait shop at? I'd like to get ahold of some fatheads.

bohman77 · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 11, 2007, 09:04 AM »

Hey Iceman thanks for the info. I wont be able to go for a while so for right now I have to live vicariously through other fisherman.

Thanks for the info, I'll let you know if any big fish are preying on those fatheads.

bohman77 · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 11, 2007, 05:45 PM »

Does anyone around there sell shiners. I know they are in the lake because Ive seen them but I didnt know if anyone carries them. So I assume Iceman that Tim James has minnows? Its good to know that there is another place that sells them. I hated it when Tim ran out and I had to go to riverton to pick them up. Good luck with the fishing everyone.

Bill

WYOiceman · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 12, 2007, 07:48 AM »

Hey bohman,
I haven't been by Tim's place yet, cause I still have a few hundred minnows that I trapped in the ditch by my house, but I would assume that he has a bunch by now.
His phone # is 876-2349. I'd give him a call before you head this way. He's always got the best deal around.

pokefan1 · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 12, 2007, 09:50 PM »

I picked up minnows at Tim's yesterday, they are not real big but they work.

rumdrinker · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 17, 2007, 11:17 AM »

Has anyone checked to see how much is is on Tough Creek? I am thinking of trying to catch some perch on Thursday

LT · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 17, 2007, 04:18 PM »

I just got back from there, only took a ride to get away from this computer awhile, but there's about 4 1/2 inches good ice on Fremont. Guy there had a nice sauger about 4 pounds and a smaller one I'd a put back. There was a couple bo's on the ice too. But on N. Muddy there was a shanty out a few hundred yards, so I'm gussing it's fishable although after last year, I'd wait a few days before charging onto it with my 4 wheeler
