Another one hanging out waiting for freeze up! Hard to believe the forecast is calling for possible 60 degree temps eh? No ice so far!
These warm temps are driving me nuts. I need to do some spearing before I go crazy.
KoryJust go into the woods and stab a few chickens.
well i twasnt quite ice fishin but i mightve well have been! just got back from lake louise....open water, snowing, and 29F. trolled for lakers, boated 3 yesterday and 2 today, all hooked and landed by my buddy who has had a losing streak with lakers in that area for the last 3 years ( he never caught one till yesterday!!! never caught a laker in his life!) me and the other guy didnt even get a hit! trolling w/downriggers with krocs and kwikfish, all fish caught in 30-50 FOW (which is hard to find on that lake!) largest fish (luckily for us skunked guys ) was 22"...
we tried shallow flats....on the north end of the lake/ cliff bay area but no success. also fished around eagle island and the flats around there, picked up one small fish in 15 fow there....lodge guys told us go deep...as for topography that lake is very strange, and dangerous. that is one lake i will never run full throttle.
