Pretty good bite at causway. Lots of dogs. Flat light and blowing snow made driving a pain.

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #153 on:** Feb 19, 2014, 11:08 PM »

any tips on how to get some dogs? ive only caught one over the years and it was by complete accident

poorfisherman · « **Reply #154 on:** Feb 21, 2014, 06:56 PM »

I find them at the west end of the lake. Set up for pike and walleye. They bite anything.

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #155 on:** Feb 21, 2014, 07:39 PM »

what about in between the two causeways? worth a shot?

Were you able to drive on at the park?

Les Star · « **Reply #158 on:** Feb 22, 2014, 08:30 PM »

took a couple passes through as well it should be open still the snow hasn’t blown around too much.

FrostBack · « **Reply #159 on:** Feb 26, 2014, 06:27 PM »

I was on the lake today and the snow pack is about 9"-12" deep and hard, just a few trails on the ice and if you don't have a 4x4 with good tires or something comparable....good luck.

Don't leave home without your auger extension...its about 44" - 48" thick

Lots of Pike action and a few Walleyes, I did not see any perch today, I think that is a first.

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #160 on:** Feb 26, 2014, 10:34 PM »

where abouts on the lake where you? I spoke to a few folks the other day who had caught some big jacks...few in the 15-18 lb range and one he said was almost 25lb...sure would be fun

FrostBack · « **Reply #161 on:** Feb 26, 2014, 10:37 PM »

Straight across the Lake from Lonies access.

poorfisherman · « **Reply #162 on:** Feb 28, 2014, 08:17 AM »

Moved my shack down to the prov park yesterday. Left it in the parking lot, didn't want to get stuck on the boat ramp. Once on the lake getting around is not bad as long as you have 4WD. lots of small perch around lost one decent pike in the hole. only fished for a few hours.

looking forward to the mild temps, noting beats getting a skunk while in a tshirt.

I remember 10 - 20 years ago the Burbor that were caught were just left on the ice and considered a trash fish.
Then the local Sask Wildlife chapter put on a seminar on how to cook Dog-Fish and we had a fish fry during the seminar of (Burbot, Dogfish and Ling Cod).

Fast forward 20 years and you very seldom see them laying on the ice now, not sure if the numbers are down or if the people are releasing them back below the ice....I know that I have not seen any on the camera all this year. So I assume the population in the lake are much lower than years gone by.

CaptainM · « **Reply #165 on:** Mar 01, 2014, 12:27 PM »

Seen a few guys had caught some around start of January and I lost one, very good to eat and boneless if u know how to cook them, walleye and perch can taste like sh!t if the person can't cook, buddy caught a 7.5 eye and released we didn't even see it on camera just caught it so the camera can miss stuff, just lookin to catch a few on buffalo, or long or dief one of these days.

poorfisherman · « **Reply #166 on:** Mar 01, 2014, 04:34 PM »

Over the last few years I've seen a come back in burbot at the pound. Catch the odd one in middle of the season. Nows the time of year to really get on em. West end is defiantly the best bet.

Tried lovern last season didn't get and burbot lots of jack and a few eyes though.

Les Star · « **Reply #167 on:** Mar 01, 2014, 04:40 PM »

I was at the causeway 10 days ago and caught 4 burbot in 13' of water. all let go as I have not attempted to fillet them before and after handling wasn't willing to pack them home. Just recently I have convinced my wife into letting me fillet in the house "she would drop a brick in her pants" if I put one of them on the counter.

Great planning!!! I sure am missing my Rider Shack and being able to cook in comfort!!! sold it to a fellow from Sand Point. We are just using the flip over & I picked up a older wood & tarp style portable that we plan to use when it warms up.

What size of Burbot are you fellows using for eaters? not sure if bigger is better or if the smaller ones are the way to go.

CaptainM · « **Reply #171 on:** Mar 02, 2014, 10:09 AM »

Try in the 3lb range, just google on how to clean them everyone or u tube it, easier than explaining, tasty fish, especially in beer batter just an ugly sob of a fish! Keeps people from trying them.

Les Star · « **Reply #172 on:** Mar 02, 2014, 04:41 PM »

Thanks! and yes I Google before asking. Just was not sure what size range is best to keep and Handel.

CaptainM · « **Reply #173 on:** Mar 02, 2014, 09:33 PM »

Boneless meat as well, they say not to touch the skin on the meat after say it makes them taste funny? I imagine u would be fine up to 5-6 pounds.

CaptainM · « **Reply #174 on:** Mar 03, 2014, 11:45 AM »

Does anyone fish between the roads by causeway or west of causeway, when I was down start of Jan I fished by causeway and only seen one shack on west side of road.

Slamhound · « **Reply #175 on:** Mar 03, 2014, 01:59 PM »

Hey I was on the lake yesterday and seen that a shack has burned down and there is a big mess of tin still there if this was your shack it would be nice to see that mess cleaned up before the end of the year it's been there for awhile thanks. We swim in the lake lots in the summer I've seen lots of stitches from beer bottles and other shrapnel in the lake lets all try do our part and clean up after our self thanks everyone

lincoln1986 · « **Reply #176 on:** Mar 03, 2014, 02:13 PM »

stitches would be bad enough but could you imagine hitting some of that stuff while on water skis? broken leg maybe? do an awful lot of damage to a boat as well

CaptainM · « **Reply #177 on:** Mar 03, 2014, 05:55 PM »

Some people don't give 2 sh!ts, and that's too bad, if it was up to these people doin this kind of stuff all the lake would be full of garbage.

Les Star · « **Reply #178 on:** Mar 04, 2014, 10:23 AM »

Not sure who's shack it was.

poorfisherman · « **Reply #179 on:** Mar 04, 2014, 06:12 PM »
