The walk was better than the fishing. Put over 3 miles in today for squat. 3 small lakers. They were glued to the bottom.
As far as the walk. All the slushy areas I crossed today were frozen. Walking out on the main lake was bearable. Sometimes you stay on top of the snow, sometimes your sinking in 8-10". My sled rode on top the while time.

Bearer of bad new....this report I made last night does NOT apply for the perch grounds. I am currently set up in 4in of water. Slush frozen to sled. Dreading the hike back in.

I was walking off the ice this afternoon at vets and noticed a vehicle that looked awfully close to the ice. As I got closer I could tell that they were stuck in the snow. They drove down the walking path at the park down the little embankment and out on the ice about 30 yards, stopped and tried to back up and off the ice. As I walk up to them I snapped a picture and this was our conversation :
Me: well that wasn't a very good idea
Them: yeah, just a couple jersey kids that thought it would be fun to drive on the ice
Me: are you trying to go out fishing? ( I already knew the answer)
them: no
Me: do you have any idea how much ice is out there?
Them: the whole lake is frozen, right? (
Me: ummm, do you know how thick the ice is? (Yup you guessed it)
Them: is it thick enough? I see snowmobile and wheeler tracks.
Me:

I asked them if they had a rope or chain so that I could pull them out and they didnt. Started walking away shaking my head. The little angel on my shoulder said "hey you have a shovel", so I gave them my shovel and told them good luck! All 4 of there tires were just spinning. They were hung up on the frame.

If it wasn't so cold out, I would have took a seat on the bench and enjoyed the show. Cidiots.

The way this fish fought had me thinking i had my first hook up with a salmon but ended up being a stout 28" laker

JigSchtickGeorge · « **Reply #5176 on:** Feb 15, 2015, 08:51 PM »

They were biting and I was cold. No shanty tonight, just cleaned 45 perch, and just regained feeling in my feet.

Slush keeps the blood flowing!!

Get out there!!

That reminds me of a time I was four wheeling with a buddy at my hunting camp. We were stopped taking a break for a minute and we heard something come banging up the trail, when I say trail that was really all it was. Ten minutes later two kids in their early twenties come bombing up in a brand new Lexus with jersey plates. They stopped and asked us if they were on the right road their gps told them they could go this way I still wish I would of told them to keep going. It's one of those places that is still labeled a road on some maps but hasn't been maintained in 40+ years once you get past the camps.

So MJB518 how was it out there today, is it getting easier getting around out there?

The first 1/4 mile or so is alright. Mostly beaten down from the wheelers and sleds. After that it's hit or miss. Still quite a bit of slush under the snow. I had 4in of water in my first setup. Slush caked to bottom of sled made it hard to get to where I wanted to go. Moved out further later and found an area with no slush. I had no problems walking out of PK all day yesterday. Main lake walking is a lot easier than perch grounds.

JigSchtickGeorge · « **Reply #5180 on:** Feb 15, 2015, 09:38 PM »

I'm glad I ignored all the reports and just went to fish today..

It would suck with a wheeler or anything but a snowmobile

JigSchtickGeorge · « **Reply #5181 on:** Feb 15, 2015, 09:46 PM »

Seagulls were my friend todAy. They got all the fish regurgitation..
Practically took it from my hand

JigSchtickGeorge · « **Reply #5182 on:** Feb 15, 2015, 09:49 PM »

I covered a good mile and a half on foot today, EASY!!

GET OUT THERE!

I'm surprised they didn't say " We have 4 wheel drive so thought it would be no problem!!!" Saw 2 other "Non Residents"who tried (for some unknown reason) to drive on the snowmobile trails in Lake George yesterday. The towing companies were having a banner day!!!

The deep snow probably saved those idiots' lives!!! had they not got stuck they might have drove out onto unsafe ice & down to the bottom they go!
