  having a hard time trying to figure out when i want to head north this week. looking at the cams doesnt appear to be that much snow on the ground  and less out on the ice. pretty sure its all blown up on the shorelined.

the forecast is for snow around here  sunday  and 3-6 on tuesday nite into wednesday but kinda hard to figure out up there?? and they changes the temps to the warmer side, which is good.

[Gunner55]

TWC has only 1-3" for our end of the lake on Tuesday with most comin that night. The 10 day mentions  for Wednesday too but has no totals for that day, only ~ 40% chance for both days according to them.

[glenn57]

Yea I seen that too. Makes it hard to figure out. Especially going up alone 

[glenn57]

Looks like Wednesday or Thursday I be headed north

Hey Gunner... Make sure you get our road and stuff shoveled out before I get there 

[Gunner55]

  My shovel isn't 400 miles long so your gonna have to see if your union shovel's still good for anything but leanin on. 

[glenn57]

  heck I've worn several out already.

I wasn't sure they still made 'em with handles that short!!

This is what I dealt with getting on the lake last Thursday when I got there. Needless to say I used the public access to get on the lake.

Looks awfull slushy. You get stuck or is that your track from the last time up? You got on OK from the PA though? Why so nasty 1 spot but good from the other?

it was. That's the lake In front of the cabin after I made the tracks with my snowmobile. The access wasn't near as bad. There was some activity at the access so it was more solid. I made that track Thursday morning. And it gets that way every year, just not that bad this early

Saturday's catch

Where's the sunnies? 

the DNR verified last summer they didn't get any in there test nets  I didn't go out there with high expectations.  I seen a total of 4 different in pike. No crappies, bass or sunfish in 15 hours in my spear house.

[Gunner55]

  So your  came from the other little lake just up the road from the cabin?

[glenn57]

Nord came from peterson. Crappies lake y.

[Gunner55]

  That must be the 1 over by the Little Turtle Store then.

yep!?!!

[Gunner55]

It looks like somone went through the Narrows in the last day or 2 on skis.  Thought it was sled tracks at 1st  'til I looked closer.

[glenn57]

yea that ice sure is unpredictable, when i cut my spearhole i measured 14 inches of good clear ice. the lake i caught the crappies on had close to 4-5 inches less. and water came up on the ice. it didnt on the cabin lake.

just by the amount of slush i'm hearing on lakes and the 6 inches of light fluffy snow tells me the ice isnt to thick yet.

my granddaughter and he boyfriend went to red last week only because they werent letting trucks and wheelhouses out on LOTW's yet. they headed to LOTH's i believe sat and did well!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

It looks like the bottom of Geiger's ramp took a bit of a beating yday to me. The bad spots over at the Narrows look like they've grown some too in the last day or so.

[merc]

You got the crappies on lake "y", did you try lake "z"? I'm thinking a run up next week. May have to try lake "B".

[glenn57]

looks like geigers is doing some ice road maintence this morning.

at the narrows it appears to be pretty active heading out on the ice the past few days!!!!!

i'm already getting the itch to head back up.

[Gunner55]

It looks like we may be heading up sometime next week now. I talked to the new neighbor yday as he was headed back up today & he said there was a lot of people out on the bay last weekend. A couple of wheelhouses even & close to a dozen portables before the weekend was over.

[glenn57]

hopefully you can get through Inger this time!!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

  Bet they're all still smilin, even grandma, from your last trip up.

[glenn57]
