Yesterday, the fishermen who were out didn’t report their catches, So I can’t say how the action was. But I’m pretty sure there was activity out there with Walleye and Perch, as it’s been pretty consistent.

We are rechecking ice depths to see where we stand regarding allowing vehicle traffic and pulling houses in the next couple of days. They are predicting some snow on Wednesday evening and Thursday, which will be nice for banking and establishing roads as long as we don’t get too much. Currently, they are all staked and marked, but a little snow will help smooth things out.

We have 4-hole and 6-hole”basics” out at this time for rent. We will more than likely be letting vehicle traffic up to 5000 lbs GVW out to some areas in the next day or two, and we will go from there.  So, find out what your vehicle weighs. Keep checking the report

Keep a Tight Line!

Yesterday, fishermen had decent action. Some slots were caught, but the majority were smaller. A couple of fishermen also ended up with some decent Perch.

I spent the day smoothing out the rougher ice spots on the roads and will continue today. We didn’t make much, if any, ice out there over the weekend and probably won’t until the weather turns colder. Fortunately, that is going to happen this week. We will check ice depths as it turns colder, see what we end up with towards the weekend, and decide what we will do then. Ice depths currently are between 9″-12″.  The thinner ice is out the farthest, and the 12″ ice is within 200 yards from shore. Most ice is 10″-11″ now.

We will continue with ATV and portable fishing for now. Small wheelhouses (14′ and under pulled by ATV or SxS) can also be accessed.  But there will be no cars or trucks at this point. We do have our smaller “basic” houses out for rent. We can shuttle gear in and out if required, but customers need an ATV to have it out there in case of an emergency to get to shore.

Keep a Tight Line!

Saturday was a good day for most fishermen who came to fish out of our place. It was our first Saturday being open, and there was a big turnout of customers. The bite was pretty good for most out there.  Numerous slot Walleyes were reported, some over the slot I received pictures of, along with a 39″ Northern. Still, most reported a lot of small Walleye and Perch C/R.  Just before dark, the keeper Perch started biting in a couple of spots, and some Anglers had some decent Perch catches.  I will be posting them on our Facebook Ice Fishing page later today.

Ice thickness varies from as little as 9″ to as much as 13″ close to shore. Most of it averages 10″-12″.  In the next few days, I will work on improving rough ice spots in the roads and getting things ready for when we see 14″ of consistent ice out there when we can start pulling some of the houses. Currently, we have two basic four-hole houses out for rent. Those renting will need an ATV to access them or get to shore in an emergency. We can shuttle gear to and from if required.

So far, so good!
