Holy crap,it's a cold cruel world under that ice

I've had about a 3/4 INCH LOOK LIKE a  small Sunfish or perch swim around my hole several times this morning.  Just had 3-4 perch come up chase it and ate it 

I noticed when cleaning the fish o did get there were either perch or real small Sunfish in the stomach.

Well I'm off the lake.  Nordens are safe till may. Seen 2 both still swimming.

Got your  pm.

A good solid 16-17 Inches of ice  rumor has it an 18 lber was taken about a week ago.

I talked to our neighbor up there for the 1st time in a month or so yday & he's been up a couple times with his youngest boy since New Years. He said they found 14" of good clear ice on our lake. They even caught a few crappies & gills but they ran small so they didn't keep any. The boy did get a slot, 19", eye too.

so...i think that may have been my last ice fishing venture.........guess my brother is going back up weather permitting march 7th.

unless i get a bug up my  OR ice is safe and i hear the tullibees are biting close by!!!!!!

yesterday afternoon the curiosity got the best of me, so me and da dawg took a drive to check out some of the lakes, which will remain anonamous!!!  its crazy how little traffic is on the lakes.i checked 7 differnet lakes!

Got a couple vehicles parked out front at Geiger's & there's 3 more down at Lakewood's access early today too.

[glenn57]

what i find insanely crazy is i have more snow in my yard then there is up there..... i,ve been fortunate to be going up there since 1965 and have never seen something like this!!!!!! you can literally drive anywhere.....except on the lakes!!!!

[Gunner55]

  With the lake levels what they were last fall & no snow this winter I'm starting to think we're probably going to need to put some more dock out this Spring.

Haven’t had the driveway plowed once this year. Usually a half dozen times by now. Started the snowblower once to make paths to the woodshed and the lake. Also have some heat tapes on the roof in a couple valleys. Have not plugged them in.

You are not the only one thinking this way.  I have another 100' of dock that I think we are going to be putting out this year.  It is in two sections and I will put out what is needed.   I WILL get the boat lift out deep enough this year. 

[Gunner55]

We have 2 docks, the old section is a rollout & 40' long, that's all we had out last season. The new part has composite decking & is in 2-10' sections with no axle. I seen a few boat lifts on our lake taken out of service before the end of the season last year. We've only needed all our dock out 3-4 times since we've been there, 63-64, & it's usually been tough fishing with the lake level that low.

[LPS]

I pull my roll in part that is 28' up on shore.  I turn my floating part that is 24' parallel to shore and pull it up close to shore to freeze in. When the river is too low I have to wait for it to come up some to float that part of the dock.  A good north wind blows the lake up the river and that helps a lot too.

They're back on their spot south of Geiger's again early this morning. Hardly anyone up at URL today.

[Gunner55]

 A couple portables with wheelers(?) a little ways out front of Geiger's a few minutes ago.
