oh nice some big perch and big pike, Im looking forward to that. Hopefully the ice is one layer instead of two like St Albans bay ice.

Only fished it in the summer a few times and caught some bass and lost a few large pike, so I know they are in there. Good luck and let us know how you do.

If I can get out of work early enough I will try fairfield pond this afternoon but I think the person I rode with will want to stay until 4:30 like always.

I thought I would be able to forge through the snow at the north end of the lake but there was 3 feet of snow or more. If you are going to fairfield pond wait until the snow melts or get ready to forge through deep snow. I didn't even bother drilling a hole. Let me know how you do if you decide to give it a try.

There are perch,pike,sunnies, and walleye in fairfield. Walleye have been getting caught regularly last couple of years. There was also a 15# pike taken out of there last week. Good luck fishing.

Any other access points other than that stupid beach?

fish_B4_you_walk · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 17, 2011, 10:44 AM »

Well I found another spot. I am not sure how you did on the ice but I couldn't get my minnow and/or mealworm down to the bottom quick enough to catch another fish. It was awesome.

catyjgs · « **Reply #13 on:** Mar 01, 2011, 01:31 PM »

is there any other place to get on the ice other then that beach?

fish_B4_you_walk · « **Reply #14 on:** Mar 01, 2011, 01:41 PM »

Yeah there is two places. One is right by the milfoil sign and you have to park on the side of the road. The other spot is by these willow trees I think and its just 500 feet or so from the beach. There are some snowmobile tracks by the milfoil sign. Dont pull to far off the road you will get stuck.

thanks, headed out there this weekend. does anybody know if its worth trying? never been there before.

fish_B4_you_walk · « **Reply #16 on:** Mar 02, 2011, 07:49 PM »

Hey no problem. Are you goin out fishin by yourself? If the weather is good I would probably be out there saturday or sunday. If you dont mind fishin with other people let me know when ur going.

If the weather cooperates, my son & I might be out there Saturday, unless he decides the kids derby in the islands is more appealing.
We've been to the pond a couple of times, and we've managed a few nice sized perch between 9 & 14". Never managed more than 5 keepers for a full day outing.
I will say that a heck of a lot of holes were drilled and moved around quite a bit. The perch don't seem to stay put, and I did have one 13" that was full of worms.
The ice is thick enough to drive on, and personally we'd be grateful if someone with a plow could clear a lane onto the ice so we could drive on it rather than all that walking.

fish_B4_you_walk · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 02, 2011, 09:23 PM »

Yeah that would be nice and if I had a plow I would have done it a few weeks ago. I hit a school of perch one day for a few hours and I was getting hit after hit after hit. I got 8 keepers and they were huge! I think if you get a big enough spread going and some people to find what depth they are and where you can hit em hard. I am fairly new to the area and it would be cool to meet some ice fishing people.

catyjgs · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 03, 2011, 12:31 AM »

I'm thinking of going out Saturday depending on the weather. me and a couple of Buddy's are going to be going for pike and perch hopefully the weather is decent.

fish_B4_you_walk · « **Reply #20 on:** Mar 03, 2011, 07:30 AM »

You might have to buy some pike bait because the perch in that lake are way to big to use for pike in that lake.

catyjgs · « **Reply #21 on:** Mar 08, 2011, 03:11 AM »

any of you guys go out there this weekend just wondering how the ice was before we got all this snow?

fish_B4_you_walk · « **Reply #22 on:** Mar 09, 2011, 08:56 AM »

I was thinking of going saturday. I hear we might get some rain tomorrow into friday so im hoping that will get rid of all the snow.
