MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Went by fobares and coles to check out the ice conditions around noon today. Looks like there is definitely a path from the marina out towards coles bay, a small path at sandy beach out about 50 yards, looks like they plowed some slush and turned around. Nothing for a path by the causeway by fobares farm. There was some open water right there though... not sure if that is where the pipe comes out or something. It did look like the access was plowed out right there though. I didnt have my auger with me so did not check ice on fobares. If anyone does could you please post an update? Talking about burying your auger... last year at wilson hill with the 3 ft of ice we had mid season I remember never hitting water in one spot... sucked ass. Will never do that again!
Great weekend on the ice in Northern NY. Was finally warm enough to spend the night on the ice, giving us two full days of fishing. Of our group, my friend Mark kicked butt with a 10, and 15lb northern. Big dead baits were producing well, and will likely continue to until the soon approaching end to the season. Sorry for the edit, but everyone knows what happens when a picture can identify a spot, and then the spot gets named, and then you show up to fish it and there are 20 people set up there and you have to find a new spot...which is too much work for me with all this snow and slush As usual, all fish were released unharmed.
Very nice fish! I'm curious, were they hitting big dead bait both days?
Yep
What size were the dead baits? 6-8"? 8-10"? 10"+? cause i was thinking of trying a mix of dead and live bait tmrw on the. river
Walleye bite was on fire at first light this morning....size was another issue......kept one nice one in the 4-5 lb range and 7 jumbo perch between two of us.....wind and snow were brutal when we left
