Thanks BlueKind of what I thought but wasn't sure because there are a couple of other bait providers.I wiil make sure I stop in & buy some bait & ask where to head to so I can get on the ice.whip2
Staying in Mason City overnight Monday for work and will take the sled with me planning to hit clear lake, how is the walleye bite? anyone having any luck? I've heard this lake is better known for yellows..never fished here. Thanks.
Just seen on the news that ice houses North or Highway 20 have an extra week on the ice. Guess no petiton was needed after all. Should be driving on the ice into march yet.
The plowed road is great, but everywhere else there is probably 6-12" of snow. No slush from what I saw. There were tracks from trucks off of the road, so if you have 4WD you should be ok to go off of the road. I think the park folks moved a lot of snow off of the ramps and off of the ice by the shore too.
Go straight out from the ramp@ mcintosh angle towards the north shore, south of the dome house and house east of it. Set up in 20 - 22 fow. Crappies will come through @ 4-8 ft off the bottom.
Does anyone know if the paths drifted in during the last snow? Or are they still good?
Im still lost on CL... i only catch 4 yellows at the most, buckshots and heads do nothing for me.. even hole jumping isnt cutting it.. Im on the big lake and want to finish the season with some good fishing... any tips??
To all fisherman. I along with other plow paths on the lake, and we dont get paid or ask anything of it. But an out of towner had the ball to chew me out last night because i drove to close to his shack. Well when your two feet off the path people will drive by. Needless to say they were driving two cars. With over four feet of snow this year and your making it out in a car you should be nothing but thanking people with plows. It really upsets me when i do a good thing for all fisherman and they they abuse it. I guess what i am getting at is i move the snow and i can move it right back. So i hope those two guys with there cars brought shovels last night because i blocked there little path off from the main path. No one will talk to me like that for helping all fisherman, so this message just goes to show you we dont have to help everyone. Obviously if we have a plow we have a big 4x4 behind it and dont need a path. Just think about that next time guys!
went to spirit lake yesterday and put the smack down on some perch caught 70 and kept 54 nice perch it was pretty fun
Should just let the access drift in about 5 foot so the out of towners cant make it out. Lots of people out there this year that think their shhhtuff dont stink. Anyone who cuts a road out deserves a cold one from every fisherperson out there if not a 24pack. Thanks guys for the hard work. It takes time,fuel,and wear and tear on the vehicles to push a road. They just dont appear magically. Thanks once again.
