I know there are some "wandering gators" in there, being so close to Duffins I cant see why you wouldn't get any Trout there either.
I am not sure what the current Ice report there is but we were in about 6 inches of ice, since then the ice was completely destroyed! The last few couple days might have built up some ice though.
We had no luck in Frenchmans Bay, the ice we were one was about 6 inches (at the time) but dropped off significantly (to 1 inch) around the 5 feet of water mark.
We had some tip ups setup but no luck!
The day after on a northern lake we managed to catch over 50 perch (total) of which 12 made it to the table!
Aha, My Finbore was brand spanking new! Only had it for one season, and of that one season only took it out a few times!
I've never had any issues with it so I don't see why someone else would! ... I wouldn't mind if someone complained about finding my shiny new blue auger... Maybe the colour is not to their liking or the manual auger is too much work for them to handle!
If that's the case I will gladly accept it back!
Good Morning Gentlemen (and women) of OFC!
I was out Icefishing at Frenchmans Bay on Saturday Night (New Years Eve)
I am glad to report that the Ice was decent up until 5 FOW (5" or more), but suddenly drops to 1" beyond that.
After our scouting and concluding our fishing, one of my friends left behind my Auger and Spud (FinBore III in 8" and a black Rapala Spud).
If anyone is in the area and has seen it please dont hesitate to contact me!
Cheers.
Will you be fishing alone only or with someone else?
Best investment I ever made was going with a Thermal Tent (Clam XL 4000T) and I fish with my buddy on a regular basis (at least once a week for several hours)
Consider a Clam Thermal tent before making your purchase!
Not sure what your setup is, but you can get a shoulder mount (with a slight elevation for a "over the shoulder" view) or pole extension and strap a GoPro to it?
Looks like a great experience, That's something I need to add to my bucket list now!
Thank you aha! Tall Pole works. I don't get offended easily!
Pet peeves include:
- Going to my fishing spot without inviting me,
- Catching more fish then me
- Catching (a) bigger fish than me
All kidding aside, A nice, well deserved fish! I hear under the lift bridge is a good spot to target Salmon but I have never caught or targeted Salmon from there!
Thank you for all the welcomes! I dont have a nice boat to fit many, but I do have a boat and a kayak! Its a start?
I also have a very particular set of skills, skills that catch me fish!
