any one fishing the middle or south end

Couple more posts and you can get the requested info on the reports and conditions page. In the meantime the lake sounds like it's only locked up at the south end with very little bite.

South end is just past restuarant with good ice, poor fishing, 3' to 5 ' water. Need a boat for 3/4 of the lake. Doesn't look promising for the laker bite. Wind is our enemy there.

I drove down the west side last friday and there is little to no ice at Buck's, Wycoff, Ensinore and the south end had the remnants of guys fishing in waste deep pike water. I went to Cayuga instead.

ktruman · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 07:43 PM »

south end had one shanty on it this afternoon, new ice outside the waste deep but not looking safe yet. when it locks it should be in the 12-20 foot of water range.

big_guy_13021 · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 29, 2015, 05:57 AM »

checked out north end yesterday evening...seen 3 shantys about 60 yrds past the pier...on westlake rd side...could see where a snowmobile wrnt on on at sailboat launch went up lake to flemming 1 firehouse then headed back...checked ice near the old polish home camp...a little over 3 inches of ice...went out about 150 yrds ice thickness was same..i did not check ice thickness off sailboat launch..but 3 shantys out there like i said

bigbuck · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 30, 2015, 09:54 AM »

Thanks for the updates Big_guy ! Please keep them coming. Can't wait for the North end to get up to about 6" of ice. That is my comfort thickness. I drive around 70 miles to fish on Owasco and your updates are very helpful.

FishReaper · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 01, 2015, 02:06 PM »

Please tell me the main lake froze over this weekend??

big_guy_13021 · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 01, 2015, 04:32 PM »

....dont think so

rjc10fwd · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 01, 2015, 04:55 PM »

Soft Water From Fays Point south. Few shantys on north end by pumphouse

.

Did not check south end.

bigbuck · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 01, 2015, 09:52 PM »

Any updates on ice thickness at North end?

big_guy_13021 · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 02, 2015, 04:00 AM »

depending on where ur talking about on the north end it verys from 2/12 -5 inches...not very far south near the old polish home camp wich is about 2 miles south it verys also from step to step

bigbuck · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 02, 2015, 10:43 AM »

Thanks big_guy, the north end area that I would be looking to hit is on the west side of the pier heading in the direction of Buck Point. This new snow storm may change conditions for the worse as well?

big_guy_13021 · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 02, 2015, 11:47 AM »

yes im sure all this snow will change everything...you fish in the same area as me..i surely dont wanna take the walk out now in all this snow if i venture out now ill need a nitrogen pill

..at leadt 12 inches a snow now

bigbuck · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 02, 2015, 03:02 PM »

Wow that is a lot of weight to push down on the ice. Will probably get wet and slushy near term.

merkleyb · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 02, 2015, 10:49 PM »

grrrrrr....stupid snow

bigbuck · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 04, 2015, 10:40 AM »

big_guy_13021 · « **Reply #27 on:** Feb 06, 2015, 06:10 AM »
