Or he's using reverse psychology.  Get everyone to move down there so he's got a place to setup between barage marina and squaw beach!  LoL

Maybe the nets set for the herring are catching more then i thought they were, i know of two herring nets set, guy said he was getting a few in his nets but not like last year, so maybe the herring are just a little slow yet, and before anyone starts bashing the natives about nets, I am a native, just dont use nets, its to damn much work, I just wish the tribe would make the southern boundary for nets past pequaming like it once was!

Why is it that it is mostly the same few people actually posting on here?  And then when newbies post they get slammed by the regulars.

Last two summers i hit the occasional walleye there, right off the big weed bed , in about 15-20 ft of water, caught one real nice one, 8.5 lbs., never knew walleyes were around their, until i seen the assessment nets pulled by the tribe, wholly molly some big fish down there!

Don't know who your talking about as far as regulars and Indians.    Im actually a card carrying tribal member.....but at the same time im a sports fisherman so I don't use any of my tribal rights.   Ill leave it at that instead of going into why I don't think I should have anymore rights then all my white neighbors.

How is the ice holding up with the gale force winds and mild weather? I'm going nuts right now because I havn't had a chance to fish in almost two weeks. I'm supposed to get next Friday off and K-Bay is on the hit list!

As of this evening the ice ends by assininns, busted up towards squaw beach, not sure how it is on lanse side towards whirligig, i just heard this morning ice went out north of their, but from squaw beach in to bay ice is still good, just slushy here and there!

Black and/or rotten ice is so obviously dangerous, yet some are weighing the risks (on a different scale than what I use apparently) and proceeding......likely the same folks who said last year their shacks were just fine, as they drifted >7miles north and into Peq Bay........BE CAREFUL!  Anything north of Sand Point at this point is risky and not worth trying unless you are single with no kids at home.
