Firefish - see you are going to be up there for awhile. Could you call the hotel that you are staying at and see if they could get a guide to drive you out to spots? That way you aren't putting a huge strain on your equipment and you still get to fish. Hate to see someone postpone a trip only to find out that the bite was really good on your weekend.
A FRIEND OF MIN TALKED TO A GUIDE A COUPLE DAYS AGO AND TOLD HIM TO STAY HOME PRETTY MUCH TRACK OUTFITS ONLY AND POOR ICE.
Hey All-A group of friends and I are coming from Ohio from Jan 23-29, and a few of us do not have trax or snowmobiles. I'm wondering if 4x4 4 wheelers and Polaris Ranger would be feasible for your current conditions. Any help would be appreciated.
firefish; my son ,n, i are going same time as you. will be taking smitty sled ,n, will walk out if need to. only walking here in pa anyway. got harness for son(29 yo.) to pull load. he,s a big hoss anyway, so we,ll be ok. in a typical day here this old boy covers prolly 3-4 miles of lake, so D.L. WE SHOULD BE O.K. packing lite in smitty, drill auger, 2 rods each, small tackle boxes in pockets, tu.s, 1 gal bait bucket, etc. gonna call woodland mon. & see if they have 2 man shanty available to rent( cancelations) i think they take you out in track vehicle. anyway, this is our 1st DL trip, i dont care if all ice melts, i,m going. will rent boat ,n, fish that way if i hafta. lol wire
