No ice in the bay. Some life over at the Cutfoot netting station early on , nothin when we came home. Detoured by Winnie Dam on the way back, looked a little white there.

so i just read in the local newspaper a couple guys from the foley area have court dates in grand rapids in the near future. one of them owns a cabin in the area. apparently these guys where setting snares that were illegal in many forms. the wardens had cameras up and were watching them.  they had illegally harvested deer, bear, timberwolves, and cuyotes with these snares. also found a dead beaver with a bullet to the head which is illegal. these snares are supposedly to be checked every day and for one stretch they had not been checked for 11 months.

according to the article this occurred south of northome in the alvwood area, home of da hoot-n-holler!!!!!!!!!

One nice thing about being retired is I can get fire wood during the week when it's quiet up there.

Got that right merc, kinda like for me, I can go when I want to instead of whenever I'm able to get up here & the weather's crappy.  Which  as we all know, is usually when the union guy's around. Think we made 82* yday, nice enough for a wheeler ride down to the PA by us, was able to see a few very small spots of ice left. Bet it's gone now. Listen you little blue mushroom eater , when's the last time you put 50' of dock out, bet I spent 3 hours with the waders on & in the water. Not sure what temp the water is now but I was afraid I might start turnin a little blue myself & somebody would mistake me for you.

If you look at the base of Glenn's photo it looks like the pitches are just starting to break out of the ground.

Glenn, sorry I missed your post about Lt. Ranier and by the way you can have your skeeters back as I didn't need any more. They put a fence up about three years ago and the township made them take it down as it was next to the road. I heard he was getting a lawyer to fight that and maybe that's why it's back up. I don't understand how he can put a fence up that close to the road and the lake but who knows. I'm going up Monday and I'll check it out and ask around if anyone knows what happened. I fished it a couple of times and all we got were small panfish but I heard there are some nice northern in there. I'll let you know what I find out. Have a great day.     

[glenn57]

thanks.....just curious. the fence is in the water a ways. yea we really had to weed thru the sunfish but man did we get some nice pike spearing it. I seen one that had to go 20 lbs swim thru just beyond my hole and right below the ice.

we didn't know it froze out, an olde guy came and talked to my buddy he said that spring he had 3 pike as long as his walking cane dead on his shore. put them in his garden for fertilizer.

[merc]

I never heard it froze out lately. When did this happen?
